I'm kinda going backwards but in a good way.
I realized when I started my new eating plan in January although I omitted grains and almost all processed foods I just could not get my carb level down without giving up my yogurt and some other veggies like squash which I really love. I was also consuming Werthers sugar free (about 10-15 carbs worth /day.as I adjusted to the loss of chocolate in my life.
Being 59 and having eaten a high carb cakey bready kind of diet a good part of my life and also high fat (nothing like bread smothered in butter) or even better cinnamon rolls it was hard to impossible to go low without serious cravings.
I was consuming about 70-100 carbs a day and still feeling good and losing weight and inches but I was also walking 10000 steps a day.
Mid feb came and the exercise stalled and I missed the emotional spirit lifting foods such as ice cream, chocolate and cinnamon buns so I went out and treated myself. I was in a bit of slump for several weeks and I can't recall exactly when I decided to try induction type but I think about 2 weeks ago..so I restarted and could not get through a week on less than 50 carbs...BUT hwhat I have noticed is that everyday that passes I miss carbs less and less..in fact I feel I could live on meat and fat alone...if it were good meat like prime rib or brbq pork ribs.
the last couple of days I don't think I have even eaten 20 grams of net carbs..or maybe a tad more..so the lesson from this is to trust and listen to your body..recognize what has changed and go with it.
I had those few days of hourly trips to the bathroom and now my energy is high high and my spirits good..
I almost do not even want chocolate..I definitely do not miss or crave it the way I used to.
I don't like counting things..but I can accept counting the olives in my greek salad.
everything else is more or less a guestimate unless stated otherwise.
