Well the time has come. I am out of excuses and frankly my tubby frame is more then I can handle anymore. I have officially stopped pumping breastmilk and so the fear of losing my milk due to dieting is no longer a valid excuse. So low carb here I/maybe we come.
Why low carb? I don't know, it seems to work for me. I don't like calorie counting. It is exhausting and frankly I do better with an all or none mentality versus the "control" one. Anyone who knows me knows I go overboard with everything. Also low carb seems to suit my body. I have a feeling I am a little insulin resistant or something because eating lots of carbs really wears on me. Some people feel exhausted doing low carb, but I think they might be doing it to excess or not eating enough. I don't completely fall into one low-carb strategy or another (ie atkins or south beach). I don't tend to limit vegetables (potatoes are a starch in my book) and I avoid things that are white unless it is yogurt or sour cream. So ultimately we eat a vegetable and meat for dinners. This includes stir-fry, kabobs, steak, lots of grilled stuff, fish packets, and lots of different entree salads. Dessert is a huge weak spot for me so thank god I recently discovered brownies made from black beans and the old standby's of cheesecake, fruit yogurts, creme brulee, mousse,etc. If it weren't for stevia I would be destined to fail from the start!!
