Carbs are not my friend.
Feb 25, 2009
I am finding that carbs are not my friend. I have been hungry for days and I am not even 4 months out.
I have been experiencing those HUNGRY days. I track all of my food on TheDailyPlate.com and I looked back at my carbs and they were around 100 on those "hungry days." The things I was eating on those days included Kay's Bariatric pretzels and cereal. They are high protein, but also high carbs. I have cut them out of my diet (while I am still trying to lose); I am also watching my carbs in dairy products. I was using Lite Soy Milk for my shakes, now I am only using 1/4-1/2 cup of Lite Soy Milk and the rest water (this makes the protein shakes a bit richer but cuts down on the carbs). I am still eating 2% cheese and cottage cheese, but not quite as much as I was eating previously. I still eat veggies, but not much because I can't hold all that much. I am finding that all of this is helping to curtail the hunger.
I will see if this works and maybe it will get the scale moving again.

OK, this is funny: I just won $50 in Kay's Bariatric Products from the Mini-Challenge. I will save them for maintenance and then they may be good to keep my weight where I want it. They are packaged well so should keep for a few months. Wish it could have been protein since I am getting into the protein flavors and using them a couple of times a day.
