Right, I can't belive that I'm here! I read all the maintenance diaries avidly when I was coming close to my goal. I loved to read about people who were maintaining as I was worried about putting all the weight back on.
I'm hoping to use this diary to keep focussed on my weight and keep it level as I go through stabilisation and maintenance.
I've been doing 790 for a few weeks now. I didn't have the milk as I wanted to do a low carb stabilisation. My CDC was OK with that, but I am taking a multi vitamin from 1000 cals onwards.
I am a carb addict and want to be on a plan where my blood sugar is kept stable through the day. Too much carb triggers off my cravings.
When I first joined mini's I noticed people resarting who said they hadn't followed stabilisation and wished they had, so I want to stick as close to CD as possible but have modified it for low carb. I've tried to make as few changes as possible.
I am having 2 CD packs a day
6 oz chicken or 10 oz fish
Veg
50ml single cream
2 eggs poached, boiled or scrambled
1 grilled sausage
or something around 350 cals and no more than 10g carb.
This keeps the carb below 50g which is high for Atkins, the main carb comes from the CD packs.
Went really well yesterday. It was great to eat again, but I really struggled to eat everything which is weird.
