I went from 190 to 145. The problem is my husband had to have his carbs, so I started eating some and when you start eating some you want more and more. So I put back on 30#. :-( Oh I was going to the gym almost everyday also. I wish I could phys myself up to do it again.
Replace your carbs with GOOD fats (organic, grass fed, if possible butter, cream, meat, etc.) and you will lose your desire for carbs...
My family eats carbs - and I come from an Italian family so there is always pasta...
The low carb diet helps me not only from the biochemistry of it, but also the discipline aspect of it. By restricting the types of foods I can eat, I eat less. At least that's how it works for me.
As you know, the low carb diet works by getting your body into a state of ketosis, and even a "cheat" day will throw it out of that state for days. It's an "all in" diet.
My husband has to always have soda and white bread in the house. I think the soda is what keeps my belly bloated but when it’s in the fridge I can’t seem to resist it:( When I was a smoker I was thin and hardly ever craved sweets. Once I quit and started chewing nicotine gum (has sugar to make taste good) I start to crave sweet drinks as well. Think I’m now addicted to it (sugar) because I’m always popping a piece in my mouth.
LOL
Blame the man.
You and my wife could start a club
Trust I love you guys anyhow
It’s just how it is
