Low Carbs

[Aliantha]

We have fish here quite often, and prawns and crab (although I think I read that crab is high in carbs), but yeah, I'm a bit sick of meat and eggs.

My weightloss seems to have stalled a bit, so I'm going to try the 'zig zag' diet which is proteins only on monday, then proteins and salad and low carb veges fo the next 5 days, then the seventh day is the eat what you want day, including carbs, then back to day one and start the cycle again.

Apparently what happens is the eat what you like day causes the fat cells to open and then when they don't get what they really want the next day, they all deflate and get flushed away. That's the theory.

So anyway, today for breakfast I had bread and honey. God it was good!

I don't think so ... did a google search ...

Research published in May 2008 in the journal Nature finds fat cells can shrink --
but they don't go away.

If you’ve gained a lot of weight as an adult, you may have added to your store of fat cells.
That makes it harder to lose weight because, once they’ve taken up residence in your body,
fat cells never go away

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! Unless you're extremely disciplined, it's a slippery slope. Try to stay on Atkins at least a month. I know it's difficult, but it'll be worth it. Up your exercise, not eat carbs. If you gotta eat bread, go with wheat. Eat brown rice rather than white. And remember to keep your portions reasonable, meaning smaller, but not too small that you'd go hungry. I know it's bad but I would drink diet soda to help curb my craving for more food. I buy those Atkins bar or Atkins shake for snakes in between meal when I really need it. And remember to drink lots and lots of H20.

Sniff...sniff...okay, gotta go shower. I just exercised, hihi.
