Sunday~!

Well today is Sunday and that means the week is over or just beginning, totally depends on the person's perspective. So for me this is the beginning of the week, and so I have survived another week, with two days of traveling and I must commend myself for being strict! I was able to survive the road trip and stay away from the "junk" food so to speak! I eat salads and steered away from the fired greasy foods! "GO ME"! So how did you survive the week? Were you able to steer away from the food demons following you around? I know it very hard to make good food choices when we have SOOOOOOOOOO many wonderful food items we can choose from.

If you are following the Low Carb/High fat process were able to keep you carbs under 100, 75,50, or the best number 20 per day?  How many fully understand the Low carb/high fat program, and how this helps you trick your body into burning the stored fat? This process puts your body into "KETO" burning mode and will begin to target the fat cells thus causing the immediate weigh loss and once you begin this process and continue to follow the low carb process your body will continue to stay in "KETO" mode and continue to burn the stored fat. You may seem hungry at first that is your body's way of saying "yea" something is different and if you eat some "protein" or "fiber" check the carb count....this will help you to feel full or fuller longer!

When reading the labels remember to check the total number of carbs and the total number of sugar content. The sugar is the item that will slow down or stop your "KETO" mode from burning your stored fat". This I learned from the "DR"!  There are many food choices you can eat and still maintain your carb count for the day. When you feel like munching-----choice celery stalks and apply a little cream cheese/peanut butter in moderation...this process makes you feel like you are eating "chips", and you are still maintaining good eating habits.

For the sugar tooth make "sugar free" jello lots of it and purchase some "Cool Whip" and not the light cool but the real deal! And add this to your jello and go to town! There are many recipes for cakes, juices and other sweet tooth foods that will satisfy your craving! The important thing to remember is not to fall back into the path of "junk" food for one day or two days, as this will pull your body out of "KETO" Mode and then you must begin over.

I wish you well on your journey of food choices and or diet choices you decide to follow! Each person's body is different and what may work for you might not work for all! Just remember WE all must be true to the path we choose to follow and must stick to our regimen of eating properly.

Dr. Atkins program does allow for fruit in moderation! My Dr. does not allow fruit as it is high in sugar and is "Natures' Candy! Just keep that in mind in when eating an apple/orange or such! Count that has your carb for the day!

Good luck to you all!'
God Speed!
