I do not discount the affect that diet has on your health...But I did adopt my own 'Low Carb' lifestyle about a year ago....And lost 60 lbs.
I say my 'own' diet because I did a lot of research on the ideas behind the low carb craze and found that a lot of them had merit in medical circles. A over-abundance of carbs for a long period of time will change how your body processes these. I did not subscribe totally to the Adkins or South Beach or any other diet, but created my own based on some of the principles...
Now, over the holidays I ate what I wanted...and I do have occational lapses where I indulge in pizza, chocolate and some other foods that do not fit into the guidelines that I follow....But the thing is to limit those to a weekend, or a night, and then go back to the lifestyle that you were on...
As I said, doing this I lost 60lbs and have kept it off for over 6mos...I have a TON more energy (now I just need to quit smoking) and feel GREAT!
-No White Flour....
-No Sugar, period...I use Splenda wherever possible keeping away from Aspratame
-Lots of leafy, green veggies....Spinach, Broccoli....high in fiber and nutrients
-For snacks, I eat a lot of nuts, Macadamias are my favorite
-Lots of water
-Eat at least 2 times a day...full meals....and snack throughout the day...I used to starve myself and then pig out in the evenings
-Excercise....Dance, Dance, DANCE!!!!
-I eat a lot of poultry (chicken, turkey) and NOT all red meat
I do eat Low-Carb breads and tortillas....they usually are made with whole grain wheat flour and have lots of fiber...
Initially I had 'cravings' for sugar, candy and everything....but those went away and the weight slowly came off....
So before you go slagging the Low Carb folks...just remember that some of us are not so militant... |
That's basically the same approach the Wifey and I have been taking the last couple of years.
She did do the Atkins thing once just to see and while it did work, it's regiment, I agree, is militant. At least the induction phase is.
I just need to get me ass to the gym more.
I do intend to dance my ass off @ System on Fri though ...

OMG...that's exactly the same thing I did...and I lost about the same. Only gained a few over the holidays....now I started going back to oxygenated water, brown rice and wraps....I already feel better when I wake up in the morning.
But ever once and a while I lapse too...I can't help it...when I see ppl eating steak and potatoes or some fantastic dessert....it's just soooo hard.
For all you thin ppl who stuff their bodies and don't gain a pound.....I want you to remember us when your suffering that heartburn, Indigestion or diarrhea
