Judy from NYC has always said exactly that. She thinks a lot of longterm very low carb Atkinstype followers would benefit from transitioning to South Beach type eating.
I might look at that again after I lose 10% or more with the low carb again. Cause I'm not there yet. Just hit 5%.
My problem is, whenever I went to raise carbs in the past I immediately started eating more bad stuff (i.e., not sending away the breadbasket).

Thank you Sarah...for giving me the credit on this. 
I did use a cycling method to keep my weight loss moving and sometimes it was with a grain...sometimes starchy veggies.....always ate my fruits each day. But if I saw the scale not budge for a few days, I'd back away from grain and starchy veggies for a few days and keep the fruit.
I sometimes feel like freak around here, being one of the few who made it to my goal...and stayed there for the past 4 yrs now after losing 120 lbs.
Why me? What did I do different?
I followed my plan of choice and did not get stuck doing Induction/phase I levels of carbs....I moved on.   |
