LightBlue62's Journal, 04 February 2014

Day two of carb cycling, but these are the low-carb days, so not too different from Atkins, really, except that I can have a whey protein shake, which has only 2 grams carbs and 80 cals. I doubled mine and mixed with unsweetened almond milk. Very filling, high protein. Tomorrow I do a high-carb day ... no slices of cakes or doughnuts, though, just adding in whole grains or a starchy veggie or piece of fruit, at each meal, and in reasonable portions. This way of eating makes sense and I think it will work better for me than strict Atkins. Combined with light weight lifting and the walking I'm already doing, I feel I'll continue to lose toward my goal of 115... will be interesting to see how it works.

I'm really excited for you. It sounds like such a healthy way of doing it. I have a huge tub of whey protein downstairs in my cupboard; never thought to look at the carb count there! Maybe I can have that on induction? I'll have to check the nutrition info.

I don't think you can have whey protein on induction, Babe53...Personally, I don't see a thing wrong with it, as it's pure protein, but if you're following Atkins religiously, I don't think it's allow. Thank you for the support! Looks like you are doing well on Atkins. Keep it up!!
