Don't worry, be happy :)
Hey all,
I'm a bit of a loner in here as it seems no-one else is on this diet at the moment so its just me and the tumble weed at the moment!
I'm currently following the low GL diet and my weigh in days are on saturday.
Just thought i'd start up this thread to show progress as it may perhaps inspire someone else to take it up.
If you want a nosey at my daily menus I write them all down in my blog (link in my signature), plus i'm trying to write up some of my homemade recipes aswell.
I 've so far lost 25lbs just by cutting out junk and eating smaller portions and i'm looking to lose another 25lbs to get to goal.
Week 1
The first 3 days were very hard, I was 'mentally' hungry for refined carbs, had a stonking headache and was very moody.
By day 4 I was feeling so much better, my cravings had gone and I was feeling refreshed and alert from all the water I was drinking, plus my concentration has improved I got a great nights sleep and I was rarely moody.
So today was my weigh in and i lost 3.4lbs and 5.5" all over (must have been all that water retention). The result was purely from changing my diet and uping my water intake from basically nothing to 1.5-2liters a day.
This week I'm breaking out my workout DVDs and am adding exercise into the mix. Lets hope my loss is just as good next week.
