Weekend Thought!

Good Afternoon!

It has been quite awhile since I have written, many things have been swirling around in my mind. One of  the things swirling around in my mind; what am I going to write about. There are so many topics and finding just one is very challenging! I have been following a site that focuses on low carb high fat diet and the ability to lose weight.  SO many members have lost so much weight since they started his/her weight lose journey. It truly is amazing some have lost over 30-40 pounds in three months or more. Some have lost over 100 pounds in a years time frame! It truly is amazing how once you begin to accept the process of changing your lifestyle positive things begin to happen!

Changing your food habits helps the process of losing weight. For example eating high carbs keeps the weight on and eating low carbs helps to trick the body into losing weight by starting to burn the fat that has been stored in your body.  For example when you eat a "bagel" with cream cheese it will take the body 2-3 days to burn off the bread.

My weigh in coming up this week and I have been working extremely hard these past 2 weeks to eat less than 20 carbs per day. I know  you are saying "less than" 20 carbs that has to be hard. You are probably asking how do you eat less than 20 carbs. Well it all depends on the food you are interested in eating. I was able to make some "oopsies bread" which has no carbs and can be used to eat hamburgers, or eat with salad and dip in your olive oil! Oh yeah. I did make some "cream cheese" pancakes with zero carbs! SO go on with your bad self and keep eating all that high carb bread food!

Some other good food choices are around vegetables and protein. Using Atkins milk to make milk shakes and then freezing them make a really good ice cream treat!  Eating chips are based on using zucchini and frying them.  SO for everything you feel you cannot give up I have found an alternative!  A good snack is "green peppers, cucumbers, tomatoes together with some salt and pepper and submarine salad dressing.  I wish all that take the low carb route the best of luck in the weight loss journey!

One thing to remember is to add some exercise into the lifestyle changes. It can be just walking, swimming, running or weightlifting.

God Speed!
