Low Carb update: 4 pounds in one day!!!! Eating nonstop too!!!
My eyes just about popped out of my head this morning when I got on the scale. I had lost 4 pounds in a day and a half of low- carbing it!
I'm sure it's mostly water weight and I'm sure I won't lose 4 pounds a day from here out, LOL, but I am impressed.
And with these sugar cravings that weight loss is just what I needed to keep me motivated. I feel like I am eating FAT nonstop yet staying hungry. With reactive hypoglycemia I've heard that this is bc my body has always relied on a steady stream of carbs for energy. Once you cut off this supply the body has to start using stored fat for energy. Even though you are eating lots of fat on low carb, the body can't store it or use it for energy without carbs. I guess you go into ketosis or something...
I haven't had this much weight loss in a WEEK since college. ( Not counting childbirth of course).
Let's see....how skinny can I get by the end of summer???!!!!!
I've never gone this long without sugar in my life. Pray for me! This is my Mount Everest! Haha
