Introducing *me*! :)
Hi everyone
I'm new here and have finally decided which diet I am going to go on. I just got back from grocery shopping and I am going to do my own version of low carb.
I was on Atkins a couple of years ago and lost almost 50 pounds but I never was comfortable with the amount of saturated fat that was on that diet from all the meat, butter, cheese, bacon, etc. I also do not like eating dairy, pork or beef so I am going to leave those things out of my plan and concentrate on fish (I love fish!) and other seafoods, good oils like olive oil and avocado, lots of green veggies and low glycemic fruits once in a while for variety. I'm also going to add nuts and seeds in moderation as I think they are important to eat (good fats) as well as meats like lamb and bison and other wild meats because they are grassfed.
I'm lucky to live across the street from a wonderful health food store that has all this food available at decent prices.
So there you have it....my plan is modified low carb and I hope to do better this time lowcarbing then I did the last time.
Oh yes....I'm a former Torontonian (Etobicoke area) now living in Hamilton. I plan to move to Guelph in about 3 years.
