What diet are you on?
June 20, 2006 by Eliza Devroe
Diets work differently for everyone. People prefer this diet to that one. This one works, this one doesn’t. Which one are you on and how is it working for you? I am counting calories. I don’t have to cut carbs or worry about how much fat is in a specific product. I eat WHATEVER I want, just smaller portions. It seems to be working great so far for me. I am going to have a small candy bar tonight. I buy the small ones and they are working GREAT for me!
Gotta have my chocolate…
As you know I am doing the same one as you. I wouldn’t mind someday have a meal-plan diet, wherein each meal is very specific for the week. Takes the guess work and calorie counting and throws it out the window. Someday, near my goal, I might try that to help achieve my goal, though I’m not sure how boring that would be.
Just a healthy amount of calories and a healthy amount of exercise. Healthy being the key word.
I’m lazy, I’m taking pills and drinking shakes. I still have to watch what I eat at dinner though, that’s my weakness.
I should work on that whole lazy thing too.
I’ve never been much of a dieter. I tried Weight Watchers once about five or six years ago and I disliked it so much I actually gained five pounds the month that I went. It was pure passive-aggressiveness on my part.
I’m on a low carb food plan. Not necessarily because I think it’s the best or the quickest way to lose weight. It does, however, help me to feel good. I had gotten to the point where at every meal, regardless of what I ate or how much (or little) I ate, I felt physically ill. In talking it over with the doctor, we narrowed it all down to the number of carbs I was taking in so we chose to eliminate that as much as possible. Oh my god did that do the trick. I no longer felt like puking after a meal! Fantabulous. I’m not as strict about the food plan as I should be but the weight loss has been steady for the last five months and that’s what I’m focusing on. And on the days when I fall off the wagon so to speak and I revert to old habits and I feel that uncomfortable fullness it only serves as a reminder that I’m doing all of this for other very valid reasons, not just to lose weight. All in all, it’s all helped to keep me motivated.
oops. sorry. wow. my comment is longer than your entry. my bad!
