WOW! A 3 pound reduction already??? Talk about giving me potivation! That must be water weight, right?
Loss of water weight is usually because you're body (especially your liver) is depleting it's glycogen stores. To use the glycogen, it unbinds the water molecules from the glycogen to do something chemical and tadda! Rapid weight loss! Glycogen is stored in the muscles and liver when your body has excess blood sugar so the execess sugar gets stored as either glycogen or (when your muscles can't store any more glycogen) fat. What is water weight anyway?
But I just ate 3 pounds of potatoes, shouldn't that mean my glycogen stores are fine??? Wish I understood the science behind this more. By the way, 3 pounds of potatoes is only 900 calories. So I know I had a decent calorie deficit yesterday/
So how do I feel? I feel alright. I felt a bit peckish last night, but I was so tired I fell asleep without a problem. I didn't wake up hungry either. This morning, I was very grateful that I had already preboiled my potatoes for today's consumption. So far, this diet has been easy. Preparing the food is super easy and fast, so I still have enough time and energy to prepare meals for the rest of the family.
The bad thing is, some of my friends found out that I was going to only eat potatoes for 3 days, and they instantly started telling me how unhealthy this was going to be. PEOPLE! IT'S ONLY THREE DAYS!!! Relax! As you can tell by my current weight, I have plenty of fat stored up in me... which means I should have lots of fat soluble vitamins stored up too. There should be no fear of malnutrition in only THREE DAYS.
