Decided to again try carb cycling this weekend. No, we are not talking about "bad" carbs that set off my cravings - but small servings of complex carbs that satiate hunger and are often very low in fat such as oatmeal, beans, rice, quinoa, corn tortillas, or sweet potatoes. I still avoid the breads, crackers, cereals, and all other refined "white" carbs that are considered notoriously bad for us.
So, the cycling incoporates low-fat/higher carb one day and then low-carb/higher fat the next day with a good amount of proteins every day. And, the fats should be healthy fats such as olive oil, a few nuts, peanut butter, a little avocado, etc. Of course, as usual, I stay within RDI and drink plenty of water and fluids.
I am really watching the "high" fat days since I already know from past "experiments" too much of a good thing slows down my weight loss.
I tried this over three days earlier in the week and the Idiot Box moved downward - so here goes the "experiment" to see what happens at my next weigh-in on Monday.
Still grateful for:
- The people I love who love me back!
- The good health of my loved ones
- My FS Buddies who support and encourage me to continue
- "Butt-kicking" myself to a smaller size today
