Ok, so after months of going in a completely different direction with my life, I am back to trying this dieting thing; or should I say lifestyle change? Because afterall, you can't lose weight until you change your mind. Right? Well, I hope so!
I weigh about the same, so I haven't really gained weight in my absence, so that is a good starting point for me. I have been doing a lot of reading and research, and am now finding that the body needs nutrition rather than starvation. I bought 2 books by Dr. Furhman: Eat to Live" and something about immunity. He has rather radical ideas to a fat lover like me. I am trying to still wrap my head around eating a pound of raw and a pound cooked vegetables a day, along with a handful of nuts and seeds, 4 fruits, and a cup of beans. Grains are only allowed once a day. No Fat At All!!!!
I tried this for a couple of days and became rather ill. He says that this sickness is just your body detoxing from fatty foods like meat and dairy. He says to do this for 6 weeks, and then you can add back 10 to 20% of other foods like meat, dairy, fats and some refined carbs.
I have decided on not trying the 6 week program, because, well, it is just too scarey of a concept for a fat lady like me!
I still have some investigating to do, and I will keep you apprised as to what I have been up too.
Until we meat, get it? meet again. LOL!!
