Hi Everyone
I started a low carb, high fat program last Saturday. And I got on the scale this morning and lost a total of 11 pounds!
I realize it's only water weight, but wow.....what an incentive!
The last time I went on this program - by the 4th day my blood sugar dropped and scared the life out of me. I quickly ate carbs because I had no idea what to do. Looking back, it most likely was lack of electrolytes (I don't think I was eating enough salt). So this time, I asked a LCHF dietician what I should do so I don't ever get that way. She told me to carry glucose tablets with me - and to get enough salt, potassium and magnesium.
Because of such great advice, I only had a slight headache the very first day. Was a bit tired the second day. Other than that, I had a really good week!
This program will definitely be my new WOE, for sure
And no, I don't miss carbs one bit. That's because they would bloat the heck out of me. And who wants to feel like the Michelin Tire Man after a 'innocent' bowl of Cheerios?? Not me!
