Right now I'm doing the "Eat to Live" Diet. It's a low carb vegen/vegitarian diet. (BTW I am not a vegetarian)
I read on another post here about how someone combined diet plans to make it work for her. I did the Atkin's LC diet years ago, I lost 20lbs but didn't get anywhere after that. I couldn't seem to get past the Induction phase and move on to OWL. Eating on Induction for so long got very old after a time so I quit and gained it all back and then some.
I'm wondering if I can combine these 2 diets to somehow make it work for me. I love the veggies/fruits/beans. And I love to eat meat.
Eating vegetarian causes me to cheat with meat.
Eating meat, the low carb way, causes me to cheat with carbs.
I do have to watch my carbs as I am on the line of being diabetic. I'm so desparate to lose this weight that I'm doing it by going on these drastic diets.
I'm not saying that Atkins and ETL are bad diets but in my own opinion they are drastic because of all the foods that are off limits. I like both of these diets but I don't want to do them in such a drastic way that I lose interest because I can't eat meat or I can't eat the veggies/fruits.
Is there anyone that can give me advise on how I can make these 2 diets work together without going overboard with only eating meats or veggies?
