My One Month Report Card
Started January 4th, the day after the College Football National Championship game.
I have not followed any particular plan to the tee, but what I've eaten probably tracks most closely with Atkins. For breakfast I have a 3 egg white cheese omelette with two strips of bacon. Lunch varies but usually some sort of salad with meat (turkey, steak, or chicken.) Dinner early (4:30-5:30) of some meat dish with olives or a small lettuce salad. I've been pretty good with the booze, an occasional gin martini or glass of wine. Except for the Super Bowl when I completely let myself go! Beer, chips etc. My body went into complete ketosis after only about 4 days of low carbs. I feel great! After the first few days I have plenty of energy, sleep better, and I have not had acid reflux (was an occaisonal problem.) I also notice that I'm not hungry. I often have to force myself to eat dinner. Been working out 4-5 times a week, always in the morning on empty stomach. I drink at least 120 oz (5 24oz bottles) of water every day. I'm down 30 pounds to 230 from 260 and fitting in clothes that I had not worn in quite a while. In fact I had a belt that one month ago I could not even get to the first notch and now I'm on the third one! Wish me continued success on my way to 190!!! |
Congratulations!!
I am almost finished with my first LC month. You have made great progress. I expect that I will be down 20lbs at the end of my month. Enjoy your new WOL it is really working for you!!

Way to go
Awesome! Continued success to you...
Personally, I can't handle the alcohol any more. I like the taste, but even a small amount gives me a hangover. Otherwise I feel like a million $$. Donald :wave: |
