About two years ago I started learning more about "slow carbs" and today is officially Day 1 of my 90 day slow carb lifestyle reboot. More veggies and legumes, practically zero grains and sugars (except for a cheat meal thrown in weekly to keep away the crazies and spark the metabolism). I've come to the conclusion that at my age, with the amount of weight I have to lose and degenerative disc disease limiting my exercise somewhat, I am not wanting a full "cheat day". My children did an experimental Tim Ferris week with me back in January of 2012 and they were shocked at how good they felt when we ate this 4HBody way (especially in comparison to our "all-out-18-hour-cheat-festival"--which left us all lethargic, queasy and running for the bathroom the next day--quite insightful for 3 teenagers).
The stress (and cortisol) that's been washing through my life and over my brain has been a huge hindrance to losing weight, so I'm instituting a routine and minimizing stimulants to reassure my brain that I'm no longer in chronic fight or flight mode. Even blood sugar, even mood, and consistent (albeit minimal) exercise = even weight loss. Ah....summer; it's gonna be a good one.
