re: Some Have Asked My About Weight Loss Journey

Mine hasn't been as dramatic as yours, but similar story. Once I moved out of the field and behind a desk, combined with turning 40, I put on too much weight. I had to buy new clothes. I was too stressed out to care very much, with other work/family issues. This Spring I said frick it. This isn't me.

Over the summer, I've dropped almost half of it just by avoiding carbs. I never eliminated carbs, just avoided and minimized. Instead of making a turkey sandwich, I make a turkey wrap with carb-balance tortilla. Instead of getting fries at a restaurant, I get slaw. Instead of every friday being pizza night, we just started making little flammkuchen type things on tortillas. Instead of frying fish in batter, started sauteing without batter. Little things like that, probably took 70% of my carb intake out of my diet without having to go hard core into any particular diet.


I've hit a plateau though, so I need to probably do a week or two of hard core zero-carb to jumpstart the remainder of the goal. But, I'm back into alot of my old clothes now, and I don't hate myself quite as much.
