Day 48 Report

The scale ticked down yet again today.

Great news!


At the beginning of the week I switched from Diet Coke as my main beverage
to plain, unsweetened green tea. This is after seeing no weight loss one
week and just 0.5 kg the week after that.

I was waiting for a follow up on this..


This week I've lost 1.5 kg so far and the week isn't quite over yet. The
only thing I changed is what I'm drinking.

Now that's the answer I was waiting to hear. Interesting outcome. I don't
drink diet sodas at all, but know I won't start now. I'd much prefer tea or
water in the evenings. Don't have any green tea - will have to get some now
:-)


I am really beginning to suspect that Diet Coke adversely affects diets in
a way that has more impact than mere temporary fluid retention. Could the
listed calories be untrue? If it was just water retention I would have
suddenly dropped over a couple of days and then been flat again. But
instead I seem to be proceeding at a good pace all week long.

Anyway, the total loss so far this week is 1.5 kg = 3.3 lb. This is a
total loss, since starting, of 9.0 kg = 19.8 lb. Almost 20 lb!

Congratulations on the wonderful loss this week. Keep up the good work.
