gonna try something old ..lol

starting to day no carbs!!   going to  try detox myself this week.   I have noticed  they are creeping up on me again snacking here and there ..lord help my co workers today!!!...any one have any suggestions???... I am going to try my 1st week post op plan not sure I can manage that much of a change but here I go ...lol

 

Good Luck!  I don't think I could do it.

Good idea!

Suggestion:  four small meals per day if possible, each one lean-protein-dense and protein first.  Leave plenty of time before AND after meals for your fluids.  Hot tea can be very helpful. 

From what I understand you just have to white-knuckle through carb withdrawal for a few days until that little thing inside you stops screaming for them.  Literally tell yourself "no."  If you have to you can employ the old idea of imagining your child self wanting to eat that stuff, not realizing it's not good for them.  Gently but firmly tell that self-image, "no, that's not good for you, and I care too much about you to let you eat it."  Like I said, old psych stuff, but it's helped me.

Go for it!!

Sugar free Jell-O. It's the only thing that got me through my pre-op low carb diet. Good luck! That detoxing is nasty!

In my case I just focus on meat/protein. When the cravings start I try to analyze my feelings for a while to see if it is real or head hunger. Then if I do eat, I eat meat until satiated. Then I'm too full for carbs. After a couple days I feel like an inmate coming out of solitary.

Meat meat meat!! This is what I do best with when I crave carb!

Recognizing is the first step and action plan then follow through. Looks like you have got this just follow through wich can be hard!

YOU CAN DO THIS!! Just remember where you came from and where you never want to be again!!

Hugs!
