jab.. Hi! I have been on the MM diet for nearly 5 weeks.
Don't let the "no" list scare you. If you eat as she says, you won't need to eat them, really. The cravings for those foods are gone and I feel satisfied when I eat like she suggests in Step 1.
Plus, I really like this diet, because you are ALLOWED 5 grams of carbs every 5 hours, and that is great! She sells a list for $3 of 5x5 carbs you can have, like 8 mini triscutts, or how many goldfish, etc, so every 5 hours you can have those 5 grams of carbs. I LOVE that since other low carb diets I have been on, not having ANY carbs is so very hard.
Do you not get a break at all? Maybe you could have a bathroom break and eat your small snack. It won't take long
I know we aren't supposed to weigh and I know why. My weight is going up and down all over the place. I do weigh and average by the week and last week, I actually gained. That is discouraging, but I realized I am eating too many nuts which are VERY high in calories, I must limit those.
My results so far are actually encouraging. I have only lost 2.6 lbs, but I have lost inches. I was to measure again after the 1st 4 weeks and truthfully I didn't expect much, but I have lost 2 inches on my bust, 1.5 inches on my bra line, 2 inches at my waist and an inch on my hips.
Part of the reason we never keep it off, is because once we get to the "end" of our diet, we start eating like we did before the diet. I have done that, but this system has to be for life for people with Metab. B, and that is what Step 3 is about.
I know I will have to keep this up for my life, and I have thought about it and decided if I do NOT do it, I will get diabetes, and then I WILL be on a diet for life!
This is a better road for me, to be healthy and hopefully, thin, without the health issues that are coming my way if I keep on the same path of eating that I have been doing.
so I decided this diet is for me to help me for LIFE so I don't have to worry about the other health issues which would force a more strict diet upon me.
ask questions, I will try and keep a look out for them. This forum stops sending notices if you don't come here or post after a short time, so I don't always get them, but I will try if you will be here, So will I!
DO commit to this for 8 weeks, you will be glad you did!
and look forward to feeling full and satisfied ...
