So Saturday and Sunday I committed myself to only eating food from the bucket. I may have cheated and had a cookie but that was it. Instead of eating a single serving, I tend to eat 2.5 servings a meal. In doing this, I am not getting enough calories with this diet. Trying to eat only food from the bucket on an extended basis would be insane. On Friday night I weighed 149 pounds. Today, I weigh 144 pounds. That's a swing of 5 pounds. Some of that has to be water weight, but I'm still not sure how I lost that much weight in one weekend. Of course, yesterday and today I probably averaged 800 calories a day. Right now I'm starving. Then again, I've been hungry all weekend. For some reason, I've been watching cooking shows online. Zero calories!
Since starting this crazy experiment, I've been checking the nutritional levels at the grocery store and pretty much all of the soups have comparable calorie and sodium levels. In fact, any food that's been processed at all tends to have high sodium levels. It's made me very leery about buying anything packaged and processed. My meat intake is also extremely low. The only meat I have in my apartment right now would be the eggs in the refrigerator.
So very hungry. I'm thinking about going to McDonalds or some other awful restaurant to feel full again.

800 calories is insane! I say give up the experiment and demand a refund from the manufacturer. Send them a letter explaining how anyone relying on the bucket in an emergency situation will surely die from starvation in only a few days!
ReplyDeleteI am thinking of writing a letter after this whole experiment is done.
