Low Carb Anyone?

[sigmagrrl]

I can tell you that it's VERY hard! I ran out of my low carb bread and it's so hard to eat lo carb w/out it...I'm really struggling!

I did it for a few weeks, but now I'm back to carbs.

I am eating carbs just not as many as I used to. I am happy with my weight. I have accepted my body and my belly. It takes up too much energy to worry about this stuff.

I am still following the carbohydrates addict's diet after a year. The only hard part is remembering to take vitamins. Everything else is going smoothly.

I never had to diet in college, as I was always about 110 lbs, but I had to take some medicine a few years ago, and let's say I gained a bit. This year I decided to take control of that, and I've been on Weight Watchers since March 18th. In a little less than 2 months, I've lost 20 lbs, 2 sizes and more inches than I can count.

My advice on the carbs: don't eat fast carbs, eat slow carbs (whole grains, no white flour or sugar) and stay off the beer. Drinking one beer is like eating 2 slices of white bread. Imagine the nights you go out and have 8 beers!! YUCK. Also, get off the regular soda (10 teaspoons of sugar in ONE 12 oz. can!)

Eliminating one of any kind of food from your diet may only set you up for failure later if you don't have that willpower to avoid what's "bad". One thing I learned on Weight Watchers is that if I screw up today, I have to get back on the horse again tomorrow!! And it's worked...

It's so much easier when you're home and not eating crappy sorority house food....8 lbs this week! Yay!

From working out regularly (at least four times a week) and healthier eating I have lost 8 pounds. It's been a little over a month, but I think that's pretty good. Low carb eating is so hard! I'm just trying to cut down.

Good luck to everyone!

I'm actually getting ready to start Atkin's next week-I say next week, b/c thats when I'll be out of food and will have to go to the grocery store. But I've got my recipies, my Atkins book, and my motivation-losing weight for my wedding!!
