I'll have to check to see if I have some of the stuff I got as a patient, and if you're interested I'll send you copies. Good luck! |
That would be so great of you thanks! I'm on the website and I've got a book that tells me what to do. I don't think I'll ever go back to eating the way that I used to. I realize that it's unhealthy and I am getting really sick from it. From what I have read, there are great ways to reincorporate carbs back into your life, and with all of the low/no carb options I don't think it will be that bad. Plus, being 90 lbs overweight is brutal!
Villette- My mom did a low carb diet ( just eliminating the sugar and starch) and she lost a ton of weight. She looks better than she has ever. I am so overweight, and my boyfriend's family is full of tiny people. I feel like they are staring at me and thinking I am gross. And I kinda think that about myself too. I want to be able to walk upstairs without getting winded, and sit in a desk at school without being self-concious. Low carb just seems to make the most sense biologically to me. Your body naturally uses carbs for energy first, so when you eat fat and carbs, the fat stays in your body and enver gets processed. If you eliminate the carbs, your body is forced to look to fat as an energy source. It takes more fat than carbs to make the amount of energy you need, which is why you can eat so many fatty foods on this and still lose weight. Your body starts burning the fat instead of storing it. I learned all of that in my 9th grade bio class, and just applied it! It's logical to me, and I thrive off of that! I got a book from Barnes and Nobles and then went to
www.atkinscenter.com. I think it really helped me to know what to do!
Thanks to you all for the help and advice. I really appreciate it, especially when I feel like going to Olive Garden!
