Day 4

...off the carbs train, pretty much.  I've scaled WAY back on the carbs/sugar and have almost quit snacking altogether.  Well, first of all and most importantly, I feel better.  Gone is the middle of the day "drag" that has plauged me for the past couple of months, I also feel like my engergy level has increased.  Also, because I'm a numbers guy, I'm back at goal after bouncing between 202-205 for the past few weeks!  200.4 this morning!!!!  I'm also not so blasted HUNGRY mid-morning and after supper!  Dalton was right...carbs ARE evil!  LOL  Now, how about 195?  Hmmmm.

Like Dalton, I believe carbs are the evil monster.  I find that the only way I can maintain is by limiting my carbs to about 40 grams a day.  I don't care if they are healthy carbs or not, they do me in every time and I just can't take that many of them without feeling terrible and gaining weight.  Good work on day 4, it does get better and easier.  You have pretty much de-toxed yourself by now.  Eat more protein and those cravings will be GONE!  There is even a low-carb grads group on Yahoo groups who can share their experiences and recipes with you.  Have you ever tried Minute Muffins?  Might be best to wait a while but they are carb "legal" and downright tasty!
