I completed Phase One and I am almost done with Week One of Phase Two.
I haven't read of anyone else having had this experience or posted about it but I seem to have lost almost all taste or desire for carbs. I thought I would be ready to add them in when the time came but when I did I was disappointed that what I used to eat and love the taste (or so I thought) I would want and maybe even crave but I didn't!
I am taking this as a cue that my body has really detoxed from some of my former taste preferences. I have decided that I am going to follow that cue and only add in the carbs that I need to keep me going to the bathroom and forego some of the ones that I really don't miss.
I have found that the sugar free Jello, chocolate pudding and hard candies that Dr. A. recommends in his book have satisfied any residual desire I have had for anything sweet. I plan on keeping it that way.
I have lost 12 lbs since starting this and I am psyched to keep going so all of those goodies you ladies are eating I do not even want to "go there". There will be none of that in my kitchen as long as I can help it. In the past, I allowed myself some cheats and all it ended up doing for me was weakening my resolve and stalling my weight lose.
In his book, he did say that on occasion you could have a piece of cake or bread but in my experience that only works in theory.For me, in practice, it doesn't work. I was following WW Flex Points prior to switching to SBD and I was allowing myself things that I shouldn't have both for health reasons and to aid in my weight lose. For me, and I am only speaking for me, this doesn't work well. I have to follow the plan as it is written.
Besides, I want to reach my goal weight by Thanksgiving of this year and I can do it if I work the plan the way it was meant to be worked.
Thanks for sharing though,
