Well, I have taken a major decision. I have decided that I am no longer going to use the CD packs to lose the remainder of my weight (only 20 or so pounds now), and I am going to move to a healthy diet (GL I think) and exercise to do the rest.
This is after extensive chats with my nutritionist friend, my Doc, and my CDC. My CDC pointed out to me that each and every time I reintroduce food I maintain - no matter how little I eat. I can eat hardly anything, or eat really well and I just maintain. This happened to me on LL the minute I finished SS, and it happened to me each and every AAM and as soon as I started up the levels. I drop out of ketosis very easily and then just stay where I am. Very strange indeed, but my CDC has pointed out that it happens the same every time.
We have therefore decided that I can no longer continue SS, and so it is time to break with the packs (as I had to go up the steps anyway after my spell with low sugars and BP) and move to a healthy diet.
So, I have made an appointment with a personal trainer for tomorrow, and will take it from there
Scary - a personal trainer ......
I will stay in here though, because I am still gonna need help to stay with this, even though I am not going to be officially on CD I still consider myself a CD'er ..... and I hope I can continue to give help and support to others.
