Facing reality-either do it or don’t.
So I am a low carb junkie. It seems to be the only way for me to drop weight. Even when I am heavily training I do not lose weight unless my carb count is low I am talking like under 40 grams per day. My problem comes becuase I cannot sustain this low level of carbs indefinately but I do not want my weight loss to stall. I have to find a way around this…..I am also starting to clean my diet up….it’s hard but I have to take this thing day by day…anything else and I become overwhelmed. My preliminary solution to my problem eat clean and watch the types of carbs i am eating. I also need to increase the amount of protien I am getting-striving for at least 200g per day. I guess I have to incorporate more lean meats and an extra protien shake in there…..I am so not looking forward to that. So I will have a protien shake in the morning before work in addition to two boiled eggs, another @ 3PM and then the last after my workout. I know I can do this it is just a matter of getting back on track and basically automating my diet. Can anyone out there provide their daily menu so that I can see if I am on the right track? Thanks!

take a look at my bodyblog and you can see what i eat on a daily basis.
The only carbs that I take in are some green beans and some blueberries.
I do drink 2 protein shakes, eat a lot of tuna, canned chicken, chicken breats and had some salmon last night.
you can do it. It isnt that hard to go without carbs.

I suggest you look into carb cycling. Going completely without carbs isn’t healthy or sustainable as you note (imo). Carb cycling allows you to deplete carbs (like 3 days very low carbs–veggies only and one day good carbs–you know the list–oatmeal, yams, etc). Which restores carb levels so your brain and such can function and give you a bit more energy. Look into it. It worked for me. If you want to see my progress you can check my website www.size10chronicles.com. I post some of my meals and pictures of food on there.
Good luck and kick a** girl.
