Okay guys... we've talked on other threads about all the things that we miss. So what do you LOVE about this way of eating?

So much has appeared on my plate that I haven't allowed myself in years. Roasted chicken, real cream cheese, a bowl of green beans with ham and almonds, steak, and salad with bleu cheese dressing.

But the things I REALLY love is not worrying about where my blood sugar is going to be one, two, four hours after I eat. Stability is a wonderful thing!

I love...
my new clothes
my new attitude
the way my stomach looks
my new smile
my energy
the compliments I receive
fats in food!!
my new walk
ME!! (and I'm only half way there, I can only imagine me 50lbs less then this)

What a great topic.

I love controlling the food not it controlling me.
I love my new low carb flax meal and whey powder creations.
I love all the extra energy I have.
I love Atkins

i love the control i feel when i am on this WOE. it will always be a part of my life.

I love getting on the scale and not cringing (too much, lol)
I love comments that im looking thinner
I love how i feel after i work out, even if i really hated it while i did it.
I love knowing that if i keep it up, ill be thin!

I love feeling that I am in control of food and not letting the food control me.

I love that I fell healthier and can look at the scale and see it going in the direction I want it to go.
I love that I have finally developed the will power to say no to food I normally would have gorched down in an instant before.
Also I love all of the new choices opn to me. I had never really thought of having so many foods I like and still loose weight.
Its great!

I love hunger pangs! Yes, I do! After suffering through 20 years of weak, shakey and dizzy when I get hungry, hunger pangs are great! I just wish they didn't come so 'early' in my morning!

I love the Strive Chocolate Raspberry bars...you should try them, they taste like granola bars. I love how I can be on this diet and still eat lots of chocolate (sugar free, of course). I love that I can fit back into my jeans that wouldn't even go over my butt 6 months ago! I love that I am not depressed about always eating. I still eat a lot but I don't get all these feelings of addiction and guilt. I love having hope that I will be the weight I want to be!

I love being able to go on vacation and eat in restaurants and come home with No weight gain.That is a first.No matter what restaurant you go to you can always find something to eat.I definetely love the way the weight comes off, truly different than any other weight loss plan, and I should know I tried them all.No one tells me I look starved or too thin they just say I look great.Wow eh.LC RULES

Oh THIS is a good one!

Theres lots that I LOVE about this way of eating! Its WHY this way is so easy to stay on-unlike OTHER diets where I would "cheat" within 3 days!

1) I feel SO much better!!! thats the BEST thing!
2) More energy
3)Clearer headed. Not sure what I mean by that I just know things just seem clearer!
4)No more mood swings!!! (I feel good like I felt when I was taking antidepressents about 5 years ago-Ive been off of them for about 3 years)
5)Its easier to "eat to live" rather than "live to eat"!
6)Feel less bloated and less gassy
7)sleep better
8)Not hungry ALL THE TIME
9)oh, and then theres the added bonus of clothing beginning to fit a little better.
10)Im sure there are other things I LOVE about it-but these are a few. Basicialy, Im totally hooked on LC!
Good post! L
