Day 23 -Experiment/Pritikin

Wednesday 6/23/2004

Today U\I switched my eating routine to Pritikin's small meals regimen. I tracked my blood sugar to see how it responded.


Meal 1....Cold Slaw..small bowl....................56
Meal 2....celery,two stocks..@ 6/..................12
Meal 3....figs, three @30/.........................90
Meal 4....Cold Slaw..small bowl....................56
Meal 5....Orange..........@68......................68
Meal 6....Tomato Juice.............................50
Meal 7....Tomato Juice.............................50

Readings for blood sugar were recorded:

Before at 1:06 AM last night.........211
Before first meal this morning.......151
Before 2nd meal......................134
Before 3rd meal......................122
Before 4th meal......................103

Eating small meals is a form of a fast when all you eat is low calorie foods. I'll continue to monitor the blood sugar to see that it responds as expected. This first test verifies Pritikin's thesis.

1. Fasted Blood Sugar..........................151
2. Weight .....................................214
3. Waist .......................................41.5
4. Calorie Intake (6/20/04)....................382
5. Prescription Drugs ...........................0
6. Vitamins .....................................0
7. Exercise-class hours .........................0
8. Exercise-weights ..............................5
9. Exercise-treadmill, bike ......................5
10.Walking with 2 15 lb weights..................0
11.Walking.......................................0

If i can keep my blood sugar down below 100 on this regimen, I will incorporate it with the Ehret/Bragg fasting regimen.
