It’s Saturday, June 6, 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n
I didn’t write my sardine wrap up yesterday because I went to pick up Melissa at the airport at 11:30 pm instead. Can’t do it all!<\/p>\n\n\n
Here’s the recap of my weight loss over 5 days of eating only sardines:<\/p>\n\n\n
Beginning weight: 200<\/p>\n\n\n
After 1 Day: 197<\/p>\n\n\n
After 2 Days: 192.4<\/p>\n\n\n
After 3 Days: 192<\/p>\n\n\n
After 4 Days: 191.8<\/p>\n\n\n
After 5 Days: 191.6<\/p>\n\n\n
Obviously, my weight loss plateaued after a few days. And I’m honestly not sure what this means.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n
I was definitely in a calorie deficit every day. A can of sardines has about 170 calories and I was eating 5 each day. That’s only 850 calories.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n
Day 5 was the roughest of the week. I got some weird hunger aches in the afternoon, but I just wasn’t in the mood to crack open a tin. I guess my brain decided the hunger was more tolerable than another fish!<\/p>\n\n\n
I was hoping to experience the rise in metabolism and clarity of thinking that some people report on a sardine fast. MAYBE I had a bit more energy and MAYBE my brain fog lifted a bit, but it’s hard to tell because I just don’t sleep all that well when Melissa is not here in the house. And when I don’t sleep well, I lack energy and clarity. So, with one too many variables, it’s hard to say anything definitive on that front.<\/p>\n\n\n
All in all, I would do it again. In fact, I am tempted to do it again to see if my initial weight drops are comparable or if this week was a fluke.<\/p>\n\n\n
But not anytime soon.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
