Starting all over again

[ajrsmom]

I found a diet in Women's World that I am going to try starting tomorrow.

I have plans to stay on it for 2 weeks and then jump to Atkins again for the induction phase of low-carbing. After I see how that goes, I will decide if I will stay on the induction phase or move on toward my own plan of low-carbing again.

Here is the first 2 week plan:

Breakfast
6 egg whites--scrambled or hard boiled
1 packet flavored instant oatmeal
1 C. tea or coffee w/ f.f. milk and sugar sub. if desired


Snack
1 low-carb protein drink
or
4 egg whites


Lunch
8oz chicken breast or tuna
Unlimited mixed salad, 1 TBS olive oil, seasonings to taste
1 cup cooked rice, preferably brown


Snack
1 low-carb protein drink
or
4 egg whites


Dinner
8oz chicken breast or salmon
Unlimited mixed salad, 1 TBS olive oil, seasonings to taste
1 cup brown rice


Drink at least 16 cups of water per day--this should be interesting!!

No salt or carbonated beverages


Each day-- Do 30 abdominal crunches, slowly raising shoulders off the ground to a count of 10 and then slowly lowering to a count of 10.

Add 20 minutes of aerobic exercises, such as walking, at least once a week. (I am going to start doing my Walk Away the Pounds dvds again)



Keep me in your thoughts that I can get back on track again with this!

Tami, let us know how it works out. I think I could stick to it as long as I could have my salt and caffeine. lol

i was on a diet that worked really well for me, it also helped me get in touch with signals from my body. It was Eat yourself thin. You only ate when you felt hungry and then you only ate until you were just satified. The cool thing was that you ate whatever you were craving. This usually means you start out craving icecream and chocolate, but if you do like the diet says and eat only what you are craving you eventually start to crave stuff that is good for you. The trick to the whole thing though is recogizing when you are hungry and when you are satisfied.

THere are so many different diets out there. I did low carb years ago and lost some weight but never stuck with it for a long period of time.

This time I am doing it due to diabetes diagnosis and have no choice but to stick with it and its working for both purposes.

This eat yourself thin diet doesnt sound too hard though and if it works it would be a pretty simple one to follow, I would think. I dont know anything about the one ajrsmom posted, unfortuntely, but would like to hear how it turns out.
