Going Low Carb Again
Hi everyone, I am new to this forum. The first time I did low carb I did Atkins about 6 years ago and it worked, but I couldn't stick with the diet. Then in January of this year I decided to start a low carb diet again. It worked, but I tended to give in to cravings, I am a college student that lives with 3 other college students and all they eat is high carb junk food, so sometimes it is just too hard to resist. Well I decided a few months ago just to cut down my calorie intake, but guess what... I have gained weight!! AHHH!! So I have decided to start back on low carb again on Sunday October 31st. Halloween, boo! Anyways I have heard, and experienced, that each time you go low carb again it gets more difficult to lose weight. I was wondering if this has happened to anyone else out there, and if anyone knows of any tricks to help this problem. One other question I have is about alcohol, I know, I know... you aren't supposed to drink during the first few weeks of doing low carb, but I am in college and I like to drink, that is what we do on weekend nights, so I was wondering if anyone knew of any good cocktails or anything... other than the rum, vodka etc... mixed with diet soda, cause I really don't like those drinks. I know all about the low carb beer too which isn't bad but even those carbs can really add up. Well I just wanted to say Hello to everyone, and please reply if you can answer any of my questions, thanks a bunch!!
