Today is day 9 for me not eating sugar or flour, the white stuff. I have not cut off all sugar, I still have my nonfat vanilla creamer in my coffee LOL. And there is sugar in the cottage cheese and things like that. but the processed stuff. I have eaten more veggies in the last 9 days than I probaly have in my life.
. I have lost 5 lbs in 9 days. I have exercised 6 out of the 9 days. FINALLY I feel like I am back on track.
My body is no longer craving those yummy carbs I love so much LOL. You know the good ones from the pasta and stuff like that.
Just wanted to share. I have had friends over the past few months as I have struggled to get back on track tell me if I just let go of most of those carbs (not aktins completley) and don't eat 3 hours before bed I will get back on track. Well the 3 hours before bed is getting easier, that was just a habit. And the low carb thing is even getting easier to. After sunday I will introduce some grains back into my system, like brown rice and whole wheat pastas, just a bit to give myself a treat once in a while.
I bought the South Beach Diet book, I am not following it perfectly, but just reading the information in it helped me learn alot about what I am doing to my body.
And reading that a scoop of ice cream is better for you than a piece of white bread LOL, that amazed me. And I made sure to tell my H that as he sat there eating PB&J on white LOL.
then I remembered, attraction rather than promotion
