I have changed diets
I was on a strict "no carb" diet that I started May 1- and was not
losing ANYTHING!!! Took this as a hint from my body that it did not want to do the "no carb" diet that I did 6 years ago and lost alot of weight on. So a week ago, I started portion control instead, and have lost 4 pounds. Hope it's the change of diet that made the difference. So here I go again. lissa 262/256/180 |

What your "no carb" diet tells you is that you are still eating TOO MUCH. |

So here I go again. lissa 262/256/180 You really wouldn't want to do no carb... that pretty much eliminates fruits and veggies and fiber, which are good for you! I try to keep fruits at no more than 3 servings a day, but veggies, I try to eat those with every meal, at the rate of a cup or two per meal. I limit starchy carbs, and try to be sure that what starchier carbs I do have are whole grains, beans, legumes, that sort of thing as much as possible. And I usually try to eat such only after exercising. Portion control is useful too. I think that has to be a part of most diets in one way or another. It could've just been time frame though or the change of diet that shook things up for you. Too early to tell. Keep monitoring. I've been pretty good eating and exercising lately and the scales still weren't moving until TODAY. -- Cynthia 262/239.5/152 |

So a week ago, I started portion control instead, and have lost 4 pounds. Hope it's the change of diet that made the difference. So here I go again. lissa 262/256/180 I'm currently on the low carb diet for the second time. I started it the first time back in 2002 with Dr. Atkins. I lost 32 pounds in 4 months. I had a blast on the diet and I actually kept the weight off for a while. It took me 4 years to gain back 20 of those 32 pounds. Now, I'm back on it again. I'm really having fun this time around although I'm not being too strict with it. Now my advice to you. There could be a couple of reasons why you didn't lose any weight. If you didn't eat enough food, you many not lose anything. Some people don't always lose when they go on low carb diets simply because of metabolic resistance. Secondly, it could be because since this is your second time doing the diet, I've read in my research that you may not lose weight as quickly as you did doing the diet the first time. This has held true for me this time around because I only lost 5 pounds in my first week when my first time I went on it, I lost 8 pounds. It's the luck of the draw I guess. http://www.chooseadietprogram.com |
