Ok folks....drum roll please....my total fat loss for my 1st week on my low carb/sugar lifestyle is.....
6.5 lbsYes, that is correct....6.5 lbs of that horrible fat is gone from my body. I have also seen improvement in my emotional and mental state...I've been in a good mood for a week (trust me that's amazing for me lol) and I feel more energetic.
I've also been getting better sleep which of course helps with
weight loss as well. I'm still taking my 1 oz of organic pure goji juice every morning even though it costs me 4 carbs. To me it's worth it for the nutritional benefits. I'm also still taking my Raw Greens supplement for 1 carb as well and my vitamins, fish oil, etc.
When I hit the 5 lb mark my husband came in with a 5lb bag of something and asked me to hold it. I said, "ok, what's this for?" He said, "this is how much fat and weight you've lost." It really sunk in then, the accomplishment of that much fat being gone from my body. I'm like...WOW and I started smiling. It gave me that visual just like Doug's visual with the sugar in his interviews. Visuals are a wonderful thing when you are dealing with abstract or unseen objects. It makes it real...very real.
I am so encouraged to keep going just for the change in emotional and energy levels.
I am trying a new recipe tonight. Spaghetti squash with a low sugar tomatoe sauce. Spaghetti squash takes the place of angle hair pasta-4 carbs 1/2 cup. It really took some looking to find a low carb sauce...5 net carbs per 1/2 cup is as low as I could find with no added sugar (Bove's all natural basil pasta sauce, gluten free, no preservatives, and no added sugar about $5.00) It better be good sauce. This is about 1/2 of my daily carbs just for this dinner so I will not be fixing it very often but it's an option for spaghetti.
