Shannon_21's Journal, 08 August 2008

I am considering my current diet of low carb/high carb. I havent been counting my calories..and Im scared to feel hungry..so I make sure my low carb meals are filled with fat to keep me satiated til the next meal.

There is a fine line here..and I have to make some adjustments. The things that are important to me are:
1. I never have to feel deprived.
2. I dont want to be snacky at night.
3. I dont cheat and snack during the day.

Eating in a way that fits the above will keep me right on track. I dont think I really want to change my routine...getting about 5 carbs in during the day and whatever I eat at night. Im tempted to count calories, fat, and carbs for the next few days to see how much Im REALLY consuming.

Since Im not on a very low carb diet, I need to be watching my calories. I have gained a pound since the weekend..I think its b/c I ate whatever I wanted over the weekend. Eating low carb were all but impossible when the breakfasts consisted of bagels, those Otis muffins, and juice. So I just said..who cares.

So now I have to tweak my diet just a smidge so I cut out a bit of the calories...without taking away from 1, 2, and 3. 127ish isnt bad..It could have been worse!
127.0 lb Lost so far: 2.4 lb.    Still to go: 2.0 lb.    Diet followed reasonably well.

I love journaling my food on here. I find it's really helped me stay on track. It's proven that dieters who journal their food intake lose more weight then those who 'wing it' :)

I have read many articles on this..I think the most recent was those who journaled lost 2x as much weight... But I KNOW when Im over my calorie limit. And I have been since Friday. But when I got back home, I was good for B and L..and went a bit carb happy for Dinner...so that is where Im going to cut back..that and using Pam instead of Butter for my eggs. MAYBE Ill cut out the coconut oil in my coffee...I havent decided yet on that..

Let us know what direction you go. I enjoy reading your journals about the changes you make. You are so insightful!! If I may offer something - it seems like the way you were going was going well. Why not just stick with it and forget your indiscretions of the weekend? Just a thought.
