Week Three- Day Two - Repairvite Begins Today

Day Eight refers to my eighth visit with Dr. Scott and his staff.  I have actually been on this journey for 16 days.

I started the Repairvite program today.  It is phase one and will last about four weeks.  I still can't believe I am paying for this much fun.  I take four different supplements a day.  Three of them twice and the other I take three times a day.  The one I take three times a day is a super charged Vitamin D.  It is supposed to be orange flavored but I am not sure where the flavor comes from.  It tastes like a moldy orange smells.  Two of the other three supplements are capsules, so if I swallow them quickly they aren't too bad.  The third one is a totally different story.  It is a powder that has to be mixed in water and boy does it taste bad.  Drinking dirt would taste better.  I told the Dr. today, I can tell these supplements weren't chosen because they taste good.  He said some people mix it with coconut milk, which is the only thing I can drink besides water, others take it as shots.  I just have to chug it and get it over with.  Can you  say..... YUCK ....... I still have to take take last dose tonight.  Not looking forward to it.

All three of them contain extracts of plants, weeds, flowers and trees.  This seems a little weird for me to be taking these when I have allergy induced asthma and I am allergic to all of those things.  They don't seem to be bothering me but I do keep my Albuterol handy and make sure I am up on my meds.  Everybody seems to think if I will lose some weight by allergies and asthma will go away.  We shall see.

As I said, I started phase one today.  I have cut out sugar, dairy, eggs, wheat  and a number of other things.  Dr. Scott said I needed protein with 30 minutes of getting up, so I cooked up a couple of chicken breasts.  I had a chicken breast with carrots and an apple for breakfast.  Lunch was a hamburger patty, carrots, and a couple of oranges.  Dinner was a salad with chicken, strawberries and lemon juice for dressing.  I have also consumed vast quantities of water.  A couple of snack consisted of grapes, carrots and apples.  I think the problem is going to be getting enough calories daily.  Dr. Scott want me to eat at least 1200 and not go below 1000.  I told Dr. Scott when you take away sugar, carbs, dairy and eggs, it should be easy to lose weight.  Watch for the weight post next Monday to see how much I have dropped.
