Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday
Thursday (April 14) my diet begins. I am calling it "D" day, but that is really just to make this blog more interesting. Did it work?
Note to readers: (updated April 18)
My HMR diet will actually start on April 21. I ended up in the emergency room on April 13 and was not able to begin the program as planned. Fingers crossed for April 21!
The diet or plan I will be following is HMR (Health Management Resources). It is a medically supervised plan because it is super-low calorie and involves drinking your meals. I am ok with that though. To save money, I arranged a physical with my primary care physician (who is a great by the way) and requested blood and other tests required by HMR. HMR is not covered by my health insurance plan so doing the tests in advance means I do not have to pay out of pocket for it.
Later today (Monday, April 11), two days prior to "D" day I will be meeting with HMR medical staff to review my current health, take measurements, go over blood tests and look at my EKG/ECG results.
For reference, I am male, 5'9", 37, and my weight on March 29 was 295 lbs. I will update this information later today after I meet with the HMR medical staff.
