Low Carb/No Frills Diet To The Rescue

It's a new day and my Memorial Day weekend eating is OVER !! I am recomitting to healthy "Living Lean-Low Carb For Life" eating. Over the years, I have followed various low carb eating plans including Dr. Atkins but the very basic low carb/no frills was by far the most successful for me this past year. I lost 35 lbs very quickly with low carb/no frills after having lost 20 lbs previously on my "version" of Atkins low carb giving me a total weight loss of 55 lbs.

Life happens and pounds do creep back, thankfully I have kept up my fitness routines with "Coach Gloria" and I am trying to add more cardio.. So, back to healthy low carb eating!! It IS the plan that makes me feel great, energized and without the hunger when "ketosis" kicks in... Ketosis is merely your body burning it's own fat when you deplete the bad carbs in your system... It's a great thing !!

Playing catch up after a holiday does have it's advantages... Believe me - I do KNOW that it's best to eat on a regular basis throughout the day - I've just been too busy today... Water, coffee and an Atkins Advantage Chocolate Delight Shake so far but now I am headed out for a nice salad and some protein.... I'll be back soon with my progress.
