Say three Hail Marys and drink some water. Jake. Hehe. My sins seem to have led to a little weight loss. I'd better not interpret that as tacit permission to sin more frequently! -- Jean B., 12 miles west of Boston, Massachusetts, USA |

I'm losing weight, just not as fast as I would if I were stricter. I rarely feel deprived and I've lost a little over 25 lbs so far. I DO know I can't go back to wantonly gobbling carbs though. It also would be nice if I could eat most fruits and veggies. Why can't you eat most veggies? There aren't that many that are carby.

After reading the title, and then the post, is it any wonder why people believe what they do about this way of eating? Hehe. I was actually writing it a bit tongue in cheek. It did feel odd though, since it is the first big piece of fruit I have had since I started LCing at the beginning of August. -- Jean B., 12 miles west of Boston, Massachusetts, USA |

It is SO nice not wanting all the things that used to beckon so beguilingly! -- Jean B., 12 miles west of Boston, Massachusetts, USA |

Sooner or later your will sin. You will learn how your body
works. Some foods I can eat without gaining. Others I should never touch. Whenever I gain more than 3-4 lbs I go back to basic. You may not have gaines one ounce. "Jeri" wrote in message ...

Otherwise for lunch I tried making a pizza-type thing using a portobello mushroom as a crust. (I either read about that here or on some LC list.) That was decent, but not as good as the "pizza" made with the nuked cheese instead of the crust. The mushroom made the overall flavor less pronounced. A large peach is about 12.5g carbs. It could have been worse, you could have made the pizza with an empty calorie, next to no nutrient crust. Just watch your carbs for the rest of the day. |

Why don't you just say to yourself right now "I will have two bites of cake" and that way you WILL know what will happen, because you'll be ready. Also, think of this as an incentive not to eat a lot of cake: you might feel like crap afterwards, even if it doesn't make you gain any weight. And two bites is enough for the flavor experience. -- -Michelle Levin (Luna) http://www.mindspring.com/~lunachick http://www.mindspring.com/~designbyluna |
