Hey everyone!! I just started a low carb/carb conscious plan last week which has yielded great results already. To get a better perspective, I was wondeering what plan many of you are using, your results, and if you are in maintenance, how do you maintain?
I am loosely following the Trim Healthy Mama plan, minus their use of sweeteners.
I lost my weight doing a homemade version of IP.I had at least 2 protein shakes with water a day and sometimes 3.I kept the carbs low by eliminating all grains and eating the low carb veggies like cauliflower,broccoli,cucumbers.The vegs were 2 cups at lunch and supper.The meats were 4 to 6 oz of chicken or fish at lunch or supper and often 1 boiled egg with salad and powdered seasoning (no dressing).
I lost over 30 lbs and have maintained it by eating a paleo type diet.
I follow the 3 s rule...no sugars,no seconds,no snacks and allow about 1400 to 1800 calories.So far I have been able to maintain for over 6 months and I am not any hungrier than I was when eating all the carbs.
I am 5 ft 6in and now weigh 135 and am a couple months from being 70 years old
I'm following Optimal Ketogenic Living on facebook. There are TONS of reference pages (which I like b/c I'm a research geek) based on peer reviewed scientific studies.
My macros are 20-25g carbs or less, 100g protein or more, 75-85g fat for loss (more fat for maintenance but I'm not there yet).
What plan are you doing?
I've been on Atkins 10+ years, have lost over 100 lbs. and have maintained using Atkins as well.
