You should be proud. That's butt kickingly well controlled and a fairly intelligent mod exception.shamrockmommy wrote:Lunch: Chicken stir fry with wild rice and side salad with oil/vinegar and water. One cupcake in celebration of my sister's bday. I do not consider this a failure, it's kindof a light yellow day.
Supper, 2 hotdogs, chips, apple slices with cheese.
I am kindof doing a mod that if I am offered a sweet during the week (not something generic, but homemade liek the cupcake) that I will accept it and eat just one.

August 15, 2009 I started the atkins diet, since I was desperate to lose some weight. I was going back up and FAST. I topped out at 237 before I did anything about it. I had done noS quite successfully and went from 245 to 206, but I stopped noS'ing (well had a lot of red days!) and gained most of it back pronto.
First 2 weeks on atkins I saw 15 lbs disappear! Also gone was symptoms of my fibromyalgia, spondylitis and extreme fatigue.
I then transitioned to PALEO way of eating and I'm trying to stick ot the noS 3 or 4 meals a day.
SO basically now I do: MEat, Poultry, Fish, Veggies, Fruits, Nuts/Seeds.
I do best without grain, startches (potato/swt potato) soy, DAIRY- which gives me so much trouble anyway).
I have a TON more energy, I don't feel so sleepy and out of it anymore. As long as I stay away from grains my FM and spondylitis does not bother me either. ANd a side effect- zero seasonal allergies! and great lookng skin (aside from the TOM breakouts). The acanthosis nigricans on my neck, elbows, under my breasts, on my toes is GONE. My feet, which have both been so swollen for years, are now NORMAL and I can even shop for shoes at regular shoe stores!! This has been very exciting.
I am trying to eat clean/stay clean because 1. I lose weight nicely (back down to 215 today!) 2. I feel better and 3. if I get ahold of any of my no-no's then I feel like crap (digestically and otherwise!)
I think I need to be more mindful of what I'm putting in me because I have had some red days since Halloween (trying to get over the carby crap). Even having S's on weekends is too much. It takes me off track so badly.
I still miss you guys so much, I don't sortof fit in here with the way I've changed my foods, but my body really responds to it
I also feel like my muscle mass has increased in my legs especially and I have a TON more endurance when it comes to exercise (which I don't do much of).
I hope that anyone having troubles even with vanilla noS might consider cutting out Grains Dairy Starch Sugar(SHall I call it the GDSS clause!) and see how their bodies respond.
Well there's my update now for today's food;
3 eggs fried in butter
turkey taco salad (no chips/cheese) plenty of the turkey meat
SMALL BOWL ICE CREAM (mom offered, I caved)
largehandful sunflower seeds
big, juicy, chubby steak
