No hablo.

Extremely low carb. Forces your body into ketosis, which is a state where you burn fat instead of carbs.

Macros: Kind of a pie chart for nutrition.

How it was explained to me:

Human body is a "flex-fuel" vehicle. It prefers to burn carbs for fuel, but if there's a surplus (aka, fatty eats more calories than he burns), the carbs are converted to fat and stored as reserves. If there are no carbs to burn, the body goes to its next favorite fuel... Fat.

my ex-in-laws did a low carb diet, way back in the day. He lost 60# on it. I love my carbs though

That's my problem too. Sweets have never been my issue, but I could kill a loaf of sourdough and a half dozen bagels and still have room for fettuccine.

 

[maansmit]

What happens when you start eating more carbs again? Does the weight pile back on if you aren't cautious?

 

[Birds Away]

Any diet that excludes potatoes and pasta is not one I could ever do.

potatoes, chips, bread, more bread, more chips.
I eat sweets maybe once a week.

I can live without pasta.

 

[chezuki]

You don't

 

[Birds Away]

I can live without pasta.

I can't...and bread. I forgot about bread. Screw that, I'll stay fat.

 

[maansmit]

You don't

PASS.

Carbs are too delicious to forego. I will just workout more.

that's where I am as well. I've been drinking a lot of green tea. There is no "proven" information that it helps with weight loss, but I am here to tell you I am losing, on average, 2#'s a week when I drink 2 bottles a day. When I don't drink, I don't lose weight.

Hey, that pay thing might be mine to keep. I got an email back and they said the system says prior period adjustment. So, fingers crossed.

I need to get back on the program and drop some weight.....again.

I am getting close to where I need to be.
