Starting CAD!

[gonabslim79]

So I did a search on here and couldn't find much on 'carbohydrate addicts diet' at all.

So I've read the book, and now on day 1. Starting this morning!!

I'm crossing my fingers n toes I can get to grips with this as want to lose a couple of stone before we fall pregnant. And being off the pill it could be anytime really!!!

Those of you reading this, that don't know what I'm talking about its basically in a nut shell 3 meals a day. 2 of which are low carb. The 3rd is a 'reward' meal where you can eat what you like! But only for 60 mins! Strictly!

Now I've read that some really go to town with this but I do 'plan' on having a nice balanced meal at this time, so we will see.....

So far

Breakfast
2 scrambled eggs with cream & one sausage

Lunch
Chicken wings, lump of cheese, radish, spinach leaves, salami slices and a blob of mayo

Tea
Roast chicken, carrots, brocolli, peas, sweet corn, beans, new potatoes, gravy & Yorkshire pud. And a bag of tooty fruity sweets.

I have to weigh everyday, so I'll report this on here.

Oooh sounds interesting! So are there any restrictions on your low carb meals? Shall be following your progress with interest!

 

[gonabslim79]

Well the book says at meal times stick to foods with carbs under 4g per 100g and to eat sensibly.

I have found this evening a bit hard. As I usually pick around 8pm after lil man goes to bed. We had strawberries & cream after dinner and a hand ful of tooty fruity sweets.

I just took the remaining meat off the chicken for salad tomo & it was really hard not to pick at the chicken whilst I was doing it!

I had a black coffee instead & that seems to have done the trick!

 

[gonabslim79]

Well I'm down 0.8lbs this morning so I guess it's a start!!!

Today's menu should follow as

Breakfast
Scrambled with cream & a sausage

Lunch
Leftover chicken with mayo, spinach leaves, radish & cucumber

Tea
Chilli & rice and something sweet? Prob more strawberries as they need eating up!!

An working today so this is a test for me as usually have a snack around 11 and then maybe about 3!

3 o'clock I seem to need that kick so have something sweet. Hopefully I won't get like that now!!!

 

[gonabslim79]

Survived my 3 o'clock slump with a black coffee!

That kept me going till tea Time & I can say I wasn't starving but just ready for tea.

Had chilli n rice followed by a choc moose.

Yummy!!

Still got 17 mins of my hour left but not sure if I need anything so gonna go without.

 

[Phoenyx]

I am so impressed! I thought itd be a license to go mad!!

There is an increasing body of evidence to show that eating too frequently is bad for health and weight (releasing insulin six times a day instead of three promotes fat storage and can increase insulin resistance).

Am loving your diary

 

[gonabslim79]

Yes that's what the plan is about. Insulin.

Stopping eating by 60 mins slows down the insulin release or something like that!

I'm at that time of night now that I would wonder into the kitchen for a biscuit. I keep thinking about it but I really don't need it cos I'm Still full from dinner!

Waiting for OH to come home with my green tea bags. So I'll have a cuppa instead!!

Can't wait to see what the scales say tomo. I've drunk a gallon of water today so hopefully I'm flushed out today!

 

[Phoenyx]

Is the book interesting? I'm happy on paleo but love reading about other stuff!

 

[gonabslim79]

Yer it is basically talks about how eating affects insulin release.

Kinda think of that when I think about snacking. I don't want a 2nd release!

I'm hoping I can stick this out. The 1st 2 weeks of starting a new plan is really hard for me.

 

[gonabslim79]
