Decarbing?

would like  some help getting back on track...especially with the decarbing part.  i'm not sure on how to go about doing this...any help would be greatly appreciated...thanks

Cold turkey works best for me (literally and figuratively ).  When I feel like I'm eating too many carbs, I start tracking my food faithfully, and sticking to proteins like turkey, chicken, beef along with fruits/veggies.  I feel SO MUCH BETTER when I eat this way.

Whenever I need to de-carb, I make a few patches of my soups and live on them for three or four days.  Works like a charm.

what kind of soups do you make and could i have the recipies?

I cycle through the soups on my profile page.  If you look under my profile, you will find the soup recipes in the archives.

Here's what I am doing

B-premier shake or Synthrax cappuccino protein shake.
S-cheese stick or plain Greek yogurt
L 3 oz chicken breast 1 oz green beans
D 3-4 oz chicken 1/2 c green salad

96 oz water

Cold turkey for me too- I just go back to eating real food-food: meat, veggies, cheeses, chicken, shrimp.. low carb veggies.. and drink a lot of tea, herbal and black & green..

It takes me a couple days to get past the major head-hunger cravings. But- getting on a time-schedule, pre-planning so I have no leeway, and not grazing gets me back quick enough. I usually set my cals down to 1000-1200 or so, protein at 100g and carbs at around 20g, plus an additional 15-25 in fiber.. and a decent amount of fats, 50g and I lose it and don't feel overly hungry, plus I eat every 3 hours. 

 

 

I have to be diligent about carbs too or I end up in a frightening spiral of out-of-control eating.  I've started taking L-Glutamine though, and I find it really helps me with the physical side of the cravings.   It also has a side benefit of generally reducing my appetite.   There's a ton of info "out there" on it so you can do your research - run glutamine and sugar cravings through any search engine if you want more info...
