Chris Powell 7 day carb cycle
Hello Is anyone following Chris' plan? I'm in the process of reading his book and looking for thoughts for anyone who is following his plan. I lost great on low carb many years ago, but this plan looks decent with the allowance of fruits/veggies and a controlled off day.

Hypnotherapy
I'm not sure if I have an eating disorder. I constantly eat out of boredom even if I'm not hungry. I was thinking of trying hypnotherapy to help with this issue and try and focus on other things before food. A friend of mine saw a hypnotist and was able to quit smoking so I may try this. Has anyone ever done this?

What's you best advice line....
This is actually advice I tell myself on a daily basis. I'm not on a diet, I can eat whatever I want, just not as much as I used to eat. I need to stop when I've reached my calorie limit for the day. And my favorite. I can eat whatever I want, I just chose not to eat that at this time. Please share your thoughts!!
