back on the wagon
I'm restarting after an 8 month hiatus, I recently moved form London
UK to Lagos Nigeria. The proliferation of starchy, porridgey, food as well as the ubiquitiousness of rice dishes convinced me that I could give up Atkins and just ‘watch what I ate'. This was despite the fact that I had lost 30lbs on it from 185lbs to 155lbs Fast forward to July 2003 and even though I'm exercising 3-4 times a week and ‘trying not eat junk' I'm weighing in at 156lbs. While my weight gain wasn't drastic, I realized that the only way to reach my target weight of 135lbs would be to go back on Atkins. Coming back on, I've lost 11lbs in month with a whoosh halfway through. Ironically though this has been without exercise as I was a bit off healthwise (unrelated to WOE) and then I was being lazy. I restarted last and it was gratifying to hear from gym buddies that despite my absence, I was looking good I'm going on Holiday (24th Oct) next month and I would really like to lose another 5-8lbs before then. Do I a. Give up. It's an unrealistic aim b. Go on a meat/fat fast c. Try a reversal diet/fruit fast? d. Obey whatever good advice you all have to dispense Pls be gentle J |
