Maybe, but it went aware. I lost the hyper-awareness of my kidneys. Besides, everything I've read from people who have done this diet has been positive. There's even supposed to be a little disorientation as the waste is getting filled out.
Its going to be weird tonight, to eat something other than Lemonade. I need to do it though, otherwise I might not stop fasting. And I'm not at a place where I want to do an ultra-low calorie diet permanetly. Maybe someday.
Heh ... according to How Stuff Works, my body needs around 2700 calories to maintain itself every day, because I weigh around 220 pounds. If I've been ingesting 1500 calories, that's 1300 a day. A pound is 3500, so that's 1 pound every 3 days or so. Its been nine days. What are we all going to think if I've lost more than the 3 pounds that it seems I should have?
