1 month and 1 day..... What is my secret? This is a copy of my atkins blogs!
start weight 230 and at one month 20 lost and 29 inches. Averaged that is 5 pounds a week, I am so ok with that!!!
What is my secret? I am going to tell you a few things I have learned in the last month.
1. The first thing is don't cheat it can set you back a day or a week depending on how many carbs you cheated with.
2. Ketones strips can vary in color by how much water you drink, you may be very purple and that is because you are dying from dehydration. As long as you not tan you are a fat burning machine.
3. the more sleep you get the more weight you lose, the magic happens when we are sleeping so an extra hour might be an extra ounce for you. Get your Rest make the kids go to sleep at 7:30 , just kidding, we know that would be impossible!
4. the forums are a great place of recipes and advice. But, Be beware a lot of people on there like to argue.
5. Groups are a great place for support. My most active groups are Stop being lazy!, A New year A new you, A new year on Atkins-- which is mine. All three of this have challenges set up and that can make your dieting more fun!
6. My best secret is fatsecret--- ON that website it is much easier to log in your food , and they help you log in your exercise and tell you how many calories you burned a day which is great. I love knowing how much I ate and If I did enough exercise to burn it up. Fatsecret also has challenges that are set up so you can see everybodies progress, and they are alot of fun. I recommend you check it out!
7. Water replaces where the fat was in your cells your weight lost can jump around because of this, don't freak ,eventually the water will leave as the cells shrink and the scale will move again!
8. Some of us have a low carb tolerance and need to lower our carbs to almost zero.
9. Atkins works and the support here is fantastic!
Have a wonderful carbfree weekend!!!
