I've been watching the JUDDD BUDs' progress with interest and have decided to give it a try. My weight has been fluctuating around the low 180s for about 6 weeks. I currently weigh about 8 pounds more than I did at this time last year and some of my summer clothes are tight. I'd like to shake things up and give weight loss a jump start
I put my stats through the calculator on Dr. Johnson's website and decided to try for 700 calories on a down day and 2300 on an up day. Since I'm a type 2 diabetic, I need to stay low carb on both days. I'm shooting for about 20 g net carbs (or less) on a down day and no more than 50 g on an up day. At least for now, I've decided to skip the JUDDD 2-week induction phase (described on the website) where down days are to be 500 calories or less.
Today was my first down day. I managed 696 calories and 17 g net carbs for the day with most of the carbs coming from Greek yogurt. Last night, I made a big pot of chicken vegetable soup and boiled eggs to eat on my down days this week. So far, so good.
Good luck to everyone! Some of you have already had great success.
