ten years later, now 50andstillfat
Amazing, I read a post today about fasting, eating one meal a day, and ended up back here, almost 10 years to the day since I joined 3FC. I'm fatter than I was then, fatter than ever. Nothing I have tried has been long-term. Low carb has (20 g a day / Atkins) has been the only way I've lost. In the past, hubby was a big reason I failed. One week into Atkins, he would talk about wanting hoagies or some other favorite food of mine. Now, HE started doing his own version of Atkins. He's LOSING LIKE CRAZY and looks great. He has coffee with French Vanilla creamer every morning, then a light salad for lunch, keeping low carb, under 20 g a day including eggs or steak for dinner. Then, this is the interesting part, he cheats every.single.weekend. On Saturdays he eats whatever he wants. Back on plan on Sunday.
I am going to try his version of the diet, but add in fasting. I have turned 50 and know that I live to eat. I love food more than you probably love just about anything. My biggest weakness right now is Asian food. There is so much great Asian food in my town.
Anyhow. That's my plan. Starting tomorrow. One meal a day, no carbs until that meal, 20 g a day. My biggest roadblock: hubby's weight is falling off, seriously. But when I last did Atkins, I lost 4 pounds in two weeks.
Perk: I've never felt better than when I reached that 4 pounds. I felt springier and younger.
Ends droning on.
