I've Been Thinking Hmmmm

Terri, I decided to take a bath and while doing so I was thinking about you. The first thing you need to do is decide what plan you want to follow and decide to stick with it. It needs to be something you can stick with for the longhaul. Now I want to share with you what I am doing and I hope others will say what they are doing. Then if you like one of these just adopt it for your own. For me - I was having too much trouble getting off carbs and I am a carb addict. The more I eat the more I want and it does not matter how full I am I still want more. I remembered when Charlie went on the low-carb diet several years and we felt so much better. The only problem was when we stopped we gained it back. I read an article which said that people who kept their carb count 60 or under lost weight. We had tried to keep our count under 20 carbs. Here is a typical day for us. We eat bacon, sausage and eggs for breakfast and sometimes I cut an orange up for us too. Then for lunch we eat a salad with meat, eggs, cheese, olives and ranch dressing on it. I do not buy fat free anything. I have found that the taste is so much better and it doesn't take as much to satisfy. Then for supper we eat meat and salad or veggies. For dessert we eat jello with berries (with artificial sweetner) and whipped cream or cool whip. One thing we like to is to brown hamburger meat and then add chile powder and tomato sauce. We top this chili with sour cream, cheese and chopped onions. Today for breakfast and lunch I drank a low carb slim fast. These satisfy more than the regular slim fast. Also we take a multivitamin. Anyway we have been doing this for a little over a week and we feel so much better. Well that's about it.
