General Questions / Re: Gained two pounds in two days!
« on: April 20, 2010, 07:07:28 PM »
I only drink soda when I am ill, usually 1-2 times a year, a habit I will replace with carbonated water.  I am feeling better now and actually have an abundance of energy, almost hypomanic!  The greatest thing so far is that I am not craving sweets intensely.  It is amazing to me as I have always had a sweet tooth that demanded sweets every day.  I actually do not get very hungry.  I realized at 4 in the afternoon the other day that I had forgotten to eat.  I like the 15 minute rule. I'm not doing so good at recording what I eat, will put more effort into it and post it once I get a full day's worth.  Take care everyone, talk to you soon!!

Hi, Thank for the responses!!  So good to have company on this journey.  For the past two days my head hurt so bad that I was in bed for 36 hours, but I am on the mend now.  So, I ate under 20 carbs a day Saturday through Thursday when my head hurt so bad.  Then I drank Sierra Mist and ate nothing.  Today I ate a 4 carb bread/cracker thing w/ 1 T. Marantha almond butter, 1 carb.  That's it, because I am still a little queasy.  I weighed myself just now and I've lost 3.5 pounds in spite of the Sierra Mist.  I wonder if the head hurting was withdrawal from sugar...I ate A LOTTTT of it before I started this change of diet.  I will write down what I eat for the next few days and post it.  I think it makes sense to write it down so I don't fool myself or miss counting anything.  I am hypothryroid and take levoxyl daily but I don't think it causes weight gain.  Thanks again, talk to you soon.

Hi, I read the book two days ago, cleaned out my pantry, freezer, and fridge and then stocked up on low carb foods.  I followed the less than 20 carbs a day faithfully for two days now and couldn't resist getting on the scale.  To my dismay, I gained two pounds!  Is this common?  I am vegetarian but it doesn't seem like that would be a problem.  Any ideas on why this happened?  Thanks...also, this is my first time to post to anything and I didn't really want to 'poll' anyone but maybe that's what a post is called??
