John Y’s Musings from the Middle: Dieting

After prodding from several friends I’ve finally started the Zija diet.

It’s a green powder you put in water and drink periodically throughout the day.

I think.

Don’t hold me to specifics.

I bought some powder that comes in green packets. I assume they go in water and are to be drunk with some regularity.

It seems that I haven’t read the instructions –yet–and am approaching this plan intuitively. provide rare and important nutrients and suppresses appetite.

My first day I weighed myself (benchmarking) and I drank a glass of water with the powder. It tasted all right.

I waited 30 minutes and then weighed myself again. Nothing. In fact I had gained a quarter of a pound.

The second day I didn’t eat much to avoid having to drink more green water, although I did drink a little later in the day. It was the batch I’d made the day before and tasted awful a day later.

It’s now been a week since I started the Zija diet. The past 5 days I haven’t drunk any of the powder bc it tasted so bad that second day. But I’ve still lost 4 pounds.

This stuff really works! Don’t know how exactly but I’m a believer.
