I spent a lot of years on and off Weight Watchers, and found I always lost more weight when I'd very my points day to day (high one day, low the next, etc). So, why wouldn't the same be true with carbs? I find that any time you do the same thing day after day, your body adjusts and won't burn fat as easily.
Yesterday, I was up 1.5 lbs (I'm a scale-oholic and weigh every day). I was over eggs and meat, cheese was making my gag reflex kick in, and I was just feeling a little yucky. Since Fridays are usually my errand day (at least until I find a job), I was out at lunch and landed at Jason's Deli. I splurged and had a half size taco salad, of which I could only eat half before I was miserably full, at a whopping 40 or so carbs. I was feeling uncomfortably glutonous for about 2 hours afterward, but it was soooooo good. This morning on the scale I was back down 1.5 less than it was two days ago (which meant 3 lbs gone in a day). Go figure, right?
What I figure is this: This lifestyle is crazy restrictive. I cannot live on low carb alone, but if I allow myself that one indulgence a week, I think I can make it. I also think it will help keep my metabolism revved up to burn more fat. Anyone else try this and have it work?
