The hunger is gone. FINALLY! I dunno if it's the shrinking stomach or the detox from my carb addiction. Either way I'm not craving like I was. YES! I have also developed a strong love for nuts and beans. WTH?
I will say that the struggle now is to keep up the fiber. "Why?" you ask. Take a wild guess. Gonna need to up the Benefiber and water. I'll be looking at those low carb veggies and comparing fiber as well. I use to drink a cup o' joe in the AM and that would 'move' things along, but I switched my coffee to a 'low acid' variety as I made this diet change and it isn't helping me out. However I am not going to throw away my 5 gallon jug 'o joe because it was not cheap. I'll just wait until it's gone and then go back to Dunkin' Donuts brand. It must be full of fiber!
I am proud of myself for keeping my calories lower than 1800, keeping my carbs at least 1/2 of the daily recommended, and my dairy is low fat. I am using this website http://www.everydayhealth.com/members/account/login.aspx?returnUrl=%2ffood-fitness%2fJournal%2f2010-07-01#/1#/3#/6 to keep track of all that btw.
Cheers to day 12 of 31 Hunger Conquered.
congrats chick, also, are you keeping tabs on weight or is this just to see if you could do the low carb/low cal thing?
ReplyDeleteI weighed myself once and then decided to wait until day 31 so I don't obsess. I wanna lose weight but I am trying not to go crazy about it. This is about a healthier way to live.
