Food Log - April 15, 2012 - WB

I am having to put a period at the end of the Induction. label, because otherwise auto complete makes it into pre-induction.  What the hell?  I hate when something that is supposed to be a shortcut turns into a huge pain in the ASS!!!

I weighed myself when I woke up, and I'm down to 168.5, I was 177 at last Sunday's weigh in, and before that my highest weight was during my last period, at 185.  I've lost 8.5 pounds this week and 16.5 lbs total.

Bleagh.  I went off the rails today.  Just a little bit of added carbs along the way got me all the way to 35!  And I'll probably want to eat again today before I go to bed.  Dang.  I don't quite have the hang of balancing the carbs out, and I haven't had the foresight to buy enough variety in low carb fruit and vegetables.  Cauliflower and greens are the big winners.  Cucumbers, strawberries too.

I'll figure this out though.

Today I hit a wall in terms of feeling very bored with food.  I miss the roller coaster ride of eating carbs.  My meals used to be so much more enticing.  I don't even feel hungry anymore....well I do, just my hunger is so slack in comparison.  I can understand those people who forget to eat now.

Progress - 3 days = 11lbs!!!

This morning,  I was looking in the mirror and thinking hey, is my belly smaller? It is!  I've lost 2" around my bellybutton circumference.  Then I figured ok, I must have lost weight and I had to jump on the scale a couple times and then get Carbo Face to do it too, because I thought it was broken.  I've lost 11 lbs since Sunday, and some of that might be water weight, or period weight, since I got my period over the weekend too, but even so...

It's only been 3 days, and I'm not even doing the low carb thing seriously, I've simply been cutting back on carbs.  I think I must be doing something right.  :)

I'll be doing this hard core pretty soon.  Carbo Face is talking about going on a meat only diet for a month or so and seeing where that takes us.  I dunno, the idea isn't particularly appealing, but I could probably do it for a month.  Maybe it's  good way to do induction.  Swear off carbs altogether and then graaaaadually reintroduce them.

I'm almost certain I will be avoiding fructose like a poison because the liver turns that to fat immediately, and if I don't eat carbs at all, I'll be able to figure out which carbs I tolerate well by introducing them one at a time.  I'm thinking about it anyhow.

Also, this is one of the most concise videos I've come across in terms of explaining how you get fat.

 Also, this one from Fathead.  Why You Got Fat.
