Yay!!! Back on the train:)
I started this journey about a year and a half ago with Atkins at 221lb. The results were great! And easy! I followed the net carb intake rules strictly, using a scale to measure EVERYTHING! I wrote my own recipes with precise weights of ingredients and measured out portions. It was a bit time consuming but I did everything on weekends and had meals ready to go for the week.
But, I stalled between 190-195. And I still felt bad- body aches, intermittent depression, suffered from frequent sinus infections, stomach "bugs"...
I did some research and found Mark's Daily Apple. Game changer!
I cut out all grains, fake sweeteners, reintroduced pasture fed full fat dairy, some mod carb veggies, and started losing again, slowly, which was fine. It was still progress.
The body aches have definitely diminished. No sinus infections! No stomach "bugs"! I haven't gone this long without some sort of illness in as long as I can remember.
Following the Primal lifestyle, I lost about 10 lbs. But, I've been fairly liberal with carbs, gained 6lbs back that I can't seem to shake.
Time for a new plan.
I'm cutting out the higher carb dairy, am decreasing my fruit intake, and will stick with the lower carb veggies. My goal is 30-40 net carbs per day with huge amts of lower carb, high fiber veggies.
I've also downloaded a plethora of bodyweight exercises. Time to get off my butt and devote myself to becoming a healthier, more active me!
