keeping down the calories

Feb 21, 2013

 Well I am coming up on a month left before I start my optifast. I have been trying to keep my calorie intake down as much as I can. I read on here that a few people ate as much as they could or didn't stop coffee,sugar's and red meats up till the night before optifast. They did not have very good things to say on how hungry they were or that taking out caffeine gave them the shakes. Even though I didn't drink much caffeinated drinks in the first place I cut pop and other sugar foods out about 2 months ago. I try to do a 30 min work out 3 to 4 times a week but I feel tired all the time since I cut back on my calories. I have also read a few peoples stuff on here about eating your last meal lol. I have my moments now where I crave things and wonder should I eat a few of my favorites' before the big day comes so I get it out of my system since it will be at least 6 months before I can eat anything like it again. I was warned by my dietician not to gain any weight before surgery or they may not do it. I am however 5 pounds down from my last appointment. I think I may have to once a week spoil myself. nothing to crazy I do enjoy healthy foods. The thing I crave most all the time witch everyone may laugh is brussel sprouts I can eat them all day long. BF and kids hate the smell of them though.
