I'ma huge carb addict, ahve tried the carb free diet and after 5 days i was feeling lousy.. maybe cos I eat a vegetarian diet!!
Anyway, last month i hot rock bottom about my weight. I've bene wanting to diet for years but theres been something in mh head simply stopping me doing it... but all of s udden, one day, I day decided to do it!!
One month later - had my weigh in today and I've lost 14 lbs!! (I was 245 at start)
I've cut the fat in my diet right down, to about 10g a day (often less, but 10g is my max) and sticking to around 1000 cals a day. Its not rigid but after the first week I really got into it and am so proud of myself to day I'm bragging all over the show *grins*
An average day for me is
small bowl of high fibre cereal (called Shreddie sin UK!) with skimmed milk and no sugar
3rd tin of baked beans on a slice of toast
stir fried rice with vegetables, or a bean chilli with small portion of boiled rice... things like that.
I was feeling a bit down about it the last few days and was really craving a MacDonalds (terrible I know!) but feel much better about it now I've lost some!!! :o)
Good luck, I know how utterly hard it is
