2nd Time Around

I wonder what the difference is, then, because I've seen this "second time around" problem often on this group. Maybe you keep up your exercise even Yeah, but to me it frequently sounds like people get complacent the second time around. They think they've been there, done that, got the size S t-shirt they can't wear anymore, and so they don't follow the plan as faithfully as they did the first time around. when you go off low-carb, and others don't? Maybe when you go back on low-carb you are stricter with calories than others? I know that when I started low-carb I ate quite a lot of food and still lost weight, it was relatively recently that I had to start limiting calories as well. Maybe second timers need to limit calories right from the beginning in order to see a loss. Whatever the reason for the difference is, since you are the only person I've seen on here who did not have difficulty losing again after going off low-carb, it makes me want to _never_ go off it. If they're closer to goal (although still above where they went off plan), it may just be that making it harder to lose. But, I suspect that if most second timers approached it with the honeymooner's zeal that newbies give it, they might have better results. Martha -- Begin where you are - but don't end there. |
