So it has been a week(7th day) on phase 1 of SB. I have not lost any weight. And now I am starting to have incredibly low energy. I made another thread stating that I was exercising everyday(until about day 4) and have completely stopped exercising hoping that it was one of the reasons why I was not losing any weight.
I tried to add more calories everyday since I also thought this may have been another reason why I was not losing weight. Still no weight loss AT ALL.
At this point I am thinking about giving up this SB diet/lifestyle and just create my own type of diet with less carbs/ lots of veggies/ lots of fruit and GO BACK AND EXERCISE the way I was before. I used to exercise about an hour a day and was noticing small differences in my physique but no actual weight coming off.
However this SB diet limits almost all the food I eat(i am asian I miss my rice and other goodies! I miss eating PHO, I miss my Korean food. Heck I even miss pizza!) and have been thinking of splurging on just about anything at this moment due to my frustration.
Can someone please give me any good reasons to continue THIS particular diet?? Cuz I'm seriously thinking I'd rather have a low carb diet/lifestyle while being able to splurge here and there(with rice, pizza, pho, cookies) and just EXERCISE my butt off doing kickboxing and water aerobics.
I weigh 137 lbs and am hoping to get down to 115-120 lbs. And the SB diet seriously is just pissing me off. (I lost 15 lbs during phase 1 doing adkins 4 years ago and lost 5-10 lbs during phase 2-3 doing adkins for 3 months total, but I weighed 150 so was a little bit chubbier. Gained back to 140 after I stopped the diet and stayed this weight for past 4 years)
