Day 1 of a planned 2 days of eating
Day 2 of 14 days of the "Challenge" with @SharonsVictory: No 'Binging' (more than 100 carbs) for two weeks
The challenge with @SharonsVictory is already working for me because I avoided the hamburger I wanted to eat at lunch 😊 I hit my ‘goal’ of less than 100 carbs with only 7 carbs to spare 😜 I just missed her goal of less than 2,000 calories, by 6 calories. This isn’t my goal, but, when I limit my carbs, I end up limiting my calories.
However, I am not surprised the scale still went up on me. The issue I feel is protein. ‘Excess protein’ (for me, more than 60g a day) will be converted to fat. While I don’t agree with all the things in this article, many things are true including the indigestion and nausea: https://www.eatthis.com/what-happens-when-you-eat-too-much-protein/
However, high carbs are still worse for me, so I am sticking to the plan. At least 'one' of the three macros has to go up when you eat. Higher fats (without increasing the carbs or the protein) is actually really hard and I do not find them ‘filling’.
The real answer is to just-eat-less but, that is what I do during the week. On the weekends I need to mentally let go. So, my hope is that the effects of the high protein wont be as bad as the effects of high carbs.
😎 Life is Good! Have a great day everyone!
