It is Day 9, and I have used all of my oil. Well, not all of it. I still have one dose left. I'll take that one when I get home. The size of the bottle that I started with says it has 36 servings. One serving is one tablespoon, so that makes sense; 36 divided by nine would make four. I take four tablespoons of oil a day; two tablespoons twice a day.
On the way home from work, my husband and I stopped at the Walmart. He's in the store getting me a bottle of oil. It's going to be a larger bottle than before. I think I'm going to stick with this and see where it goes. I want to see what happens after doing this for a couple of months at least. Also, I haven't yet reached my goal of being under 400 lbs. I want to see the number three on the scale where that four is now.
So far I feel pretty good. I'm definitely not as hungry as I used to be. Normally, I would simply ignore my hunger, but now I don't actually feel hungry so there's nothing to ignore. I'm also not eating as much as I was. I wasn't overeating before, but now I'm eating even less.
I'm hoping to see a lower number on the scale tonight when I get home, but I think I may be retaining water so it may go up a bit. I'm going to trust that it will go down, and then it will continue to trend downward even if there are the occasional plateaus and up-blips. I really want to see a number in the 300s. If I do see a number in the 300s, I'm not going to stop there. Why stop when something is working?
Starting weight: 415 lbs
Current weight: 409.4 ⇧
Long-term Goal: 145 lbs
Short-term Goal: 399 lbs
My weight is up again as I predicted, but it's probably water weight. It's a bit discouraging to see, but I still have hope that it will drop back down.
My husband is shocked that I'm taking 480 calories in oil on a daily basis. That's the point, though. I take in all these flavorless calories to suppress my appetite and trick my body into lowering its set point. I'm a bit of an unprecedented edge case, though. I'm far heavier than the heaviest person who succeeded on this diet, and that was a male, to boot!
I expect I may have to adjust my dosage. Up or down, though? I hope it's down. I can't imagine taking more than four tablespoons of oil a day. Four is hard enough! I plan to stick to this dosage for about a month to watch how my weight trends over a more significant amount of time. The forum posts suggest that it can take up to six weeks to see results. I've been at it for barely more than one week.
It is a super easy-to-stick-to diet, though.

Brinner tonight was fun. We ate the last of the meatloaf. It's so good, but that's not what made it interesting. The interesting part is that I've been giving myself half portions for the past few days while giving my husband full portions and my leftovers. You read that right. I am taking half portions, and I have leftovers! I mean, how? That must be due to the appetite suppression of the oil. Cool! I feel more than sated; I feel full! I was sated about half-way through my piece of meatloaf, but it was good, so I ate the whole piece. I'm regretting that a little just because I feel so full now, but it is still considerably less than my usual amount. I like this!
