Well, as threatened I added a few new CDs to my work listening rotation. I'm pleased with this new selection.

Of all the things I have done in my life to try to eat healthier and/or lose weight by far the most successful has been Sugar Busters. Since I started eating this way last summer I am down 45 pounds. For anyone who is unfamiliar, SB is an approach that avoids all refined and simple sugars and saturated fats in favor of complex carbs, unsaturated fats (particularly a balance of omega-3, -6, and -9 fats), and high protein.

But lately I've allowed myself to creep off of the straight and narrow. It started with a few cookies here and there, sometimes eating pasta or even rice with meals to keep costs low. Finally last week with the move going on -- pots and pans and dishes all packed away, no time to fix things -- I didn't even pretend to adhere to this plan. For the first time in months I ate french fries and white bread.

As a result during the move I actually put a few pounds back on.

So, now that things are settling down, and finances are looking a bit better, I am going to rededicate myself to low-carb.

The first few days will feel like withdrawal. God help us all.

when avoiding saturated fats, be carefult hat you don't substitute hydrogentated fats

Good catch. I generally use olive oil anyway. [livejournal.com profile] alobar extolls the virtues of coconut oil.


good luck with it, and thanks for reminding me what a lardass I've become.

Actually you brought up low-carb first. :-p

the only virtue i can see to coconut oil is that it would make anything inedible. Oh wait. That maybe because I hate it. Remind never to go healthy.

Healthy doesn't require coconut oil. You don't get off that easy. :-p
