Flat Belly Diet - 4 Day Anti-Bloat Jumpstart

I started the 4 day anti-bloat jumpstart of the Flat Belly Diet on January 1st and I think I lost about 3 or 4 lbs. I am not sure of my start weight on January 1st as this was the day after New Year's Eve and to say the least, I indulged. I was not willing to get on the scale the morning of January 1st. In fact, I lay awake most of the night with a stomach ache due to the fact that after a month of eating very healthily on the No-Fail Diet , I was unable to tolerate greasy appetizers and pizza. The 4 day anti-bloat jump start is rather calorie restricted - I would guess 1000 calories/ day, possibly less. However, there is also a water concoction that you are to have 8 glasses of per day. You add mint leaves, minced ginger, lemon and cucumber slices to water. It's actually quite refreshing and I found it very easy to drink. It felt a bit like a detox which was well needed after New Year's Eve. I would imagine its rather helpful in aiding digestion as it contains ginger and lemon.
For the rest of the 28 days, I have an issue with having 4 - 400 calorie meals a day. My gut is telling me that I will not lose weight having 1600 calories a day so I sometimes eliminate 1 of the meals.
I have started weighing myself everyday again and this is a big no-no for me. I get discouraged if I go a few days without seeing any results on the scale so I am going to go back to weighing myself every 2 or 3 weeks. Stay posted for my likes, dislikes and results on the Flat Belly Diet!
