Also, if you are walking an hour a day and implement LOW CARB dieting, you will lose a ton of weight fast. I am anxious to see if you will try this. You said fettucine is your favorite, so you would have to cut that out. However, like I said, get thru the first week or 2 and your cravings for carbs will be eliminated. You will also notice you eat less and will not suffer hunger panngs from eating less. You can eat steak, burgers (without bun), hotdogs (without bun), bacon, sausage, cheese, butter, mayo, sour cream, etc. One of my favorite things to make are salads - made with either spinach leaves or standard leaves - with fresh cooked bacon (or cooked Bob Evans sausage patties cut up), tomatoes and homemade Hidden Valley Ranch dressing. So good!! And you can add as much bacon and dressing as you want and still lose a ton of weight. ALSO, a great low carb meal I often eat are burritos - YES they make low carb tortilla wraps. I add cheese tomates, salsa, sour cream, guacamole...whatever. I still use the regular taco seasoning despite the carb content because the impact is too small over all for one or two burritos a day. Most grocery stores carry the low carb wraps. Safeway carries a large selection. You can also use the wraps for bread substitute. I make tuna fish and put it on a wrap. You can make so much with the wraps. Sometimes I put olive oil in a pan and fry both sides, add a little salt while cooking, until it is crisp and much on those either plain or with dips. Hummus occasionally or any other dip that is low carb. Egg and cheese wraps are good too. I usually cook the wrap in oil until crisp, take out of pan, then add scrambled eggs and sliced avacado.
