What works best for y'all?
I use green tea and black tea mixed with honey and lemon and that really reduces cravings for food. But, I am not able to be really active due to the RSD and Dystonic Spasms I have. I am totally frustrated!
Three months ago I went to a very common sense ketogenic diet similar to atkins/south beach.
I eat lean proteins, high fiber whole grain breads, snack on nuts, boiled eggs, celery, bacon I have pre-cooked, sugar free gelatin, low-carb yogurt, sugar free pudding made with heavy cream, pickles, olives, green peppers, low-carb bread with sugar free Jelly _ peanut butter, diet fruit sodas with two tablespoons of heavy cream, etc. Atkins snack bars. Green tea with Splenda is fine.
NO, low-carb does NOT mean "all bacon and cheese, all the time" Most nights I eat spinach salad for dinner with just about everything in it from chives, to mushrooms, to peppers, pepperoncini peppers, olives... you can add varieties of cheese, ham, tuna, bacon bits, eggs, any combo...
No booze, lots of water. Coffee in moderation.
Every 5-7 days eat whatever the heck you want. (you will be pleasantly suprised that you crave some healthier carbs like fruit!).
I live 2 miles from my day job, so I walk to work every day, back and forth.
38 pounds later, I am happy with how I feel, how I look, and the clothes I can fit in again.
How easy it is to forget that it is life.
