Hi everyone,
I have been ganing weight steadily on low carb for the past year so switched to low fat....gained more weight. Was litterally at the end of my tether...then I tried the Fat Fast. I have done this for about 3 days in the past before 'but' this time watched every mouthful I ate and followed it to the letter. And 5 days later I am 6 POUNDS LIGHTER!!!!!!!
From struggling for so long I feel like I am starting to find my way again...
When I lost tons of weight (over 5 years ago) now low carbing, I gained it all back again going low fat. Then when I tried to low carb again...its didn't seem to work anymore. This seems to have given me the kick I needed...am so happy for the first time in ages....
I am now keeping the carbs as low as possible (less than 5), and have increased my protein in take slightly, but still keeping the fat high for the next week. See what that does.
I have experienced some mouth sores while doing this (but) that may be due to eating pork rinds, as man they are tough to eat! So hard! But thats the only side effect, apart from the first day my legs felt very heavy, but now I feel fine.
Just feel like I have really been given a new chance low carbing, and the weight loss for 5 days is wonderful.
Just thought I would let others know that are experiencing stalls and hard times...that you can do it....I 'never' thought I would get back on track......
