Low carb in Negril?

[MissBlue]

i tend to agree rockrobster..... low carb eating does not have to necessarily also mean high fat, and a general diet high in starch is just bad for the body, especially now that i'm over 50 - it ALL turns right to sugar. I reduced carbs in my diet as a general change in my eating plan, so i take in less starch/sugar overall, and I also cut out the high-fat items like red meat and most dairy .... i didn't follow the 'atkins' plan per se, i just limited carbs to less than 100 carbs/day for a while, and lost 25 pounds. Once that was done, i maintained the loss by just not loading up on the starches the same way i always used to; i just keep it to small portions. so I still 'enjoy every sandwich', (LOL) - i just no longer have three of them in a day, or eat pasta every other day like I used to; cookies or pastries, or a cheeseburger, are a treat, not an everyday thing any more. I don't use cow milk anymore, just almond milk. Although I do love real cheese - so I have it, i just don't go overboard with it. it's kinda ruined me for things like pizza and calzones though, which just taste greasy and heavy to me now, dangit. LOL.

And after doing this for a while, i notice that a very small piece of cake, or one roll with a meal (instead of 3 or 4) is really satisfying now, and many sugary foods no longer taste good to me. the other day i thought i was gonna give myself a real treat and eat a donut and it just tasted horrible.... yay!!! hahaha
