Yes, I have done Atkins and then slid off the bandwagon gorging on carbohydrates and licking my bread crusted fingers. I know it works and I know it is the only thing that doesn’t make me crazy hungry. I’m not that fond of fruit anyway but I do love my veggies. I have already had to curb my raw veggies due to IBS symptoms which I might add have cleared up to only be troublesome in a stress situation. I can have salad a couple times a week but cooked veggies don’t cause an IBS flare up.
Called my sister to tell her I was signing up for the duration with her. She is doing the hypnotist thing (I have CDs for the same and will dutifully listen to them every day) and they told her Atkins or protein style diet is what to follow to lose the weight. South Beach diet did help me lose a bunch of weight but somewhere I lost consciousness and stuffed my mouth around bad carbs (French fries, potato chips, potato anything really along with pastries, bread and cookies). Oh, I kept eating the protein along with it so it was an additive calorie thing going on.
Day ½ is what I am calling today. I went out at lunch and bought sliced turkey and some Azurra sparkling water and organic fruit essence (zero carbs but mighty tasty). I also stocked up on unsweetened soy nut butter (my sister’s recommendation) as I have a peanut butter addiction.
At home tonight, I will clean out the pantry and make a food bank donation with the “no” foods that are nonperishable. Starting weight, gasp, 225 lbs (the boyfriend made fresh bread this weekend and I just finished off the 1st loaf). I am aiming for 180 by my birthday in March. That is only 45 lbs.
