A calorie is a calorie unless you are diabetic. If it just sits in your blood stream as excess sugar with no where to go, then you are doomed. You must change what you eat. No breads....and no deserts. Call it metabolism or whatever, if your body is damaged go into damage control.
you have to remember- your body will have a reaction to this change in eating
dont give in to it! If you crave some food, stick with it and just go grab a piece of cheese or some milk and some sliced ham, or fry a couple of scrambled eggs with some onions and green peppers (mmmmmmmMMMmmm)
You will know it is working when you have to pee like a racehorse. You will lose 10 pounds of water weight the first week alone.
After a short time (very short, if you do it right) , you will not have cravings for anything like you used to have.
The only thing I ever feel hungry for is some more steak.
I am almost never ‘starving’ anymore even if I dont eat for a day or two (it happens all the time, when you get real busy, and I never have to stop to go gorge myself then fall asleep)
I had steak and eggs for dinner at denny’s last night and it just occurred to me that I skipped breakfast AND lunch today (so my $20 dinner saved me $20 from skipping breakfast and lunch)
After a good workout - it is time for some meat and vegetables.
Remember to be religious about it - one crumb or bread or wheat (there is flour in gravy!!) is all it takes to ruin it
I will be anxious to hear your results
Now I know where my right side went.
I'm an expert on that diet and also the sleeplessness and paranoia that comes with it for me. Could just be me but I remember reading something about competition for amino acid precursors of serotonin in crossing the blood brain barrier, specifically Trytophan. It's a big one.
The bad part is that people around me had to tell me about the personality changes. Once had a soft pretzel stuffed in my mouth by my lady friend.
I’m down almost 50lbs since last year and look better than I have in over 15 years.
Its worked for me. Not no carb - but low carb
Think of the no-bread, no-rice, no-pasta regimen as the “Al Sharpton Diet”. Just remember,
“White is not right!!!”
