My dieting has been going smoothly. If people are interested in how I'm losing my weight, here's how I'm doing it.
I'm consuming around 15g of carbohydrate a day, but I try to keep the carbohydrate concentration towards the morning so that I can burn the sugar during the day. For dinner I'll have very little carbohydrate, try to keep it under 5g.
I'll hit the gym for an hour of walking every other day, weight training for an hour the day after. The more muscle you have, the more utilization of caloric energy your body will use. It goes hand in hand. Walking at around a 5-8 incline at 2.5 speed on treadmill will burn around 300-600 calories, depending on your weight. My personal experiences at the moment are around 520/day.
Water intake is high, about 8 16.9 flOZ bottles of water / day. If you must have a sugary drink, drink an atkins shake or use a half packet of crystal light in the bottle. Aspartame should be counted as 1/2 carb per sugar alcohol
Maltitol carbohydrates should be counted as 3/4 of a carb. For example, if an atkins endulge bar claims 3 net grams of cabohydrates but contains 10 alcohol sugars in maltitol, that would be 10.5g of carbohydrate, including the fiber + 7.5g of carb worth of maltitol. Be careful with the endulge bars! If you're going to "endulge", endulge during the afternoon with carbohydrates to spare.
Stay away from Julians bakery bread or any low carb bread/tortilla. They are all scams and will raise your blood sugar ( I tested it )
If you're having issues passing stool, eat an indulge bar, and keep your intake of carbohydrate relatively low.
Working out is a game changer, turn on some music and jam and walk. Building muscles makes that walk worth more caloric burn.
Watch your caloric intake, keep it around a little more than half of your daily reccomended intake. Burn 300-500 calories and it's below half of your reccomended intake. 3500 calories make a LB. That's 2lb of weight loss / week give or take depending on your age, metabolism, and weight.
Feeling hungry but can't control your urge to snack? Eat pork rinds, 5 of them and drink a giant glass of water. You can do it.
