So I admit, I'm the worst blogger in the world. The 3 months of Wheat Belly happened at a crazy time in my life. I bought a new place and had to pack and move and clean and it has ruled my life for the past 3 months. I do have to say I give credit to people who can blog all the time.
I didn't try many wheat belly recipes so that was a downside of this diet. Overall the Wheat Belly wasn't bad at all. I was expecting much worse.
One of my friends talked me into doing a Dietbet. Pretty much you join a game or make your own and there is fee to pay. They are all different amounts and then you have to lose 4% of your body weight in 28 days. You have to submit pics weighing in and weighing out and then if you lose 4% you get part of the pot. So we both paid $25 and both lost our 4% and just found out that we won $40.35! I hate losing money so it was a big motivator for me. I'm planning on doing another one starting next week sometime.
I lost 16.3 lbs on the diet. My goal was 20lbs but I'll take the 16.3lbs anyday!! I think I was even more excited when I saw my labs this morning!
LABS:
1/02/13 (before starting diets) 4/01/13 (after Vegan) 7/1/13 (After Wheat Belly)
Total Cholesterol 226 236 179
Triglycerides 245 218 95
LDL (bad cholesterol) 136 147 109
HDL (good Cholesterol) 40 45 38.4
Other than my HDL, I don't think my cholesterol has ever been this low! So this diet was a success on a few levels.
On to paleo!
Those numbers are great!!!! I don't know how you do it, but wow, keep up the good work!
