Carb Addict's "reward meal" question...
Been doing Carb Addicts for a bit over a week, and have lost about 3 lb pretty
effortlessly. Question about the daily reward meal timing. If I start out my meal with only so called "craving reducing foods" eg protein and fats, with no carbs, do I start my timing at the beginning of the meal anyway, or can I start timing when I start to eat carbs. This came up today when we celebrated my daughter's birthday. We went out for a Sunday brunch and planned on doing the cake thing later after we got home. I ate a low carb omelet, some salad, grilled chicken etc all with virtually no carbs. However, if I started my timing at the beginning of that meal, the birthday cake would have come well over an hour later. I simply considered the brunch to be a large "craving reducing" meal, and the small slice of cake 45 minutes later to be a one slice "reward meal". BTW-- it's now 7PM and I'm still not hungry. I can live with this. ****************************** Got wood? Check out my exotic hardwood pennywhistles at fair prices...http://www.Busmanwhistles.com |

The way CAD works, well the basic jist of it is you eat 2 small low carb meals (almost more like snacks and the lower carb the better) now for your reward meal it should start off with 2 C salad then your meal should have three equal parts one part protein , one part low carb vegie and one part carb... now if you wanted more carbs or more vegies you should eat equal parts of all three again... a small tip with this diet (well all low carb diets): the more salad you eat and water you drink the more you lose. I like junkie salads so I should say this... just watch your carbs with the salad. Oh and before anyone says anything I say Diet as in daily food in-take not the slang term for a way to lose weight ) Angie |
