Carb Conscious Peeps - June 2009

hello all, just discovered this link thiis morning(Aussie time) i used to control my weight using Atkins a few years ago with great success and have followed various versions of this regime on and off since. my problem is I AM SO OVER MEAT, TUNA, HAM ETC.! I only want to lose about 6kg and have been counting cals here for a few weeks without success so am going back to low carb eating as i know it will work for me. i have no problem with eggs, cheese, veges although i do miss my fruit -i or 2 pieces a day. i get so frustrated as i consider that i eat well and have tried to avoid" "extremes" as so many people refer to low carb eating. anyway just wanted to say hi and hope that you are all still progressing.

hopefully as from yesterday? i started low carb yesterday with 17 gr and overnight i lost the 500g i have been struggling to lose for the last 3 weeks or so. i know it's fluid but i haven't been able to shift it by any other means. a natureopath told me that people often feel so much better on low carbs cos they have a wheat intolerance. i am not a big bread/pastry lover and never have been even as a child(used to throw my sandwiches away at school much to my mum's disgust) and always left the pastry on pies etc. and i wouldn't give you a thank you for a piece of cake! what i do find though is that when i make myself eat these things on a conventional 'little bit of everything plan" that i crave cakes/ biscuits and sweet stuff generally. so maybe my bod is telling me something!
Have a great day all!
