Three weeks and I'm down to 56.4kg.
I haven't been keeping to the diet religiously: a rice cracker here, a Hershey's kiss there, a half-glass of full-carb soft drink on the side.
And, of course, there's been the days where I simply haven't kept to it. The weekend comes to mind.
The major down side of the diet is that I've been feeling exhausted. I don't think the diet was designed for someone involved in high calorie-burning activities like a regular sport and gym classes. My body's accustomed to the easy carbs of bread and rice for the energy boost, and it seems to be having a little trouble converting over to the slower carbs of vegetables and oat bran.
Interestingly, my parents didn't do any high calorie-burning exercise while they were on this diet and they said they never felt particularly tired. So it's probably not a big problem if you're not particularly active from the start. More difficult from my perspective.
