Carb Cycling- An Experiment Gone Right!



Recommended Posts

I made some of that taco Soup which comes in handy on carb days (today was my first one). How about a whole grain English muffin with Peanut Butter or quinoa

Lapbandster....what would be the right amount of carbs? I think I hit 79 today. I haven't really pushed high carb, just it's a day with carbs and tomorrow will be a day without.

Grats Maddy!! that is great!! :) and you are too cute! in fact.. You ALL are dolls omg!! and thanks all.. I felt I needed a jump start in my metabolism.. and hoped this would be great.. I'll slow it down.. although I haven't been able to eat much, so I was going a bit insane.. I love ya guys.. you all are so helpful truly..

Minime.. so what are you doing to keep the weight coming off every week? I walked 30mins today and danced for 30mins.. and also, I can definitely relate.. not about the self sabotaging.. but everything else.. I really do see it all in a different light now, it's not the same as before when I would hop on a diet, it really does feel like a life change, and I watch everything I eat now.. though I do get discouraged a bit when I don't see results.. I am definitely going to only weigh myself once a week. I was weighing every morning only.. but yes it's not working. lol.

again.. thanks all.. and patty I am sure you will receive some emails from me throughout this journey! <3 thanks all. :)

I'm just sticking to the program. Watching fat intake. I eat Greek yogurt for Breakfast, grilled fish, eggs, or chicken and veggies for lunch and dinner. I rarely snack. I rarely eat cheese or pork or beef. Those are things that have always slowed my personal wl. I don't eat processed foods like Mac n cheese or frozen meals.

I just keep it light and fresh. I will eat Beans, humus or toast once in a while when my body tells me I need something more.

I'm taking TRX classes 3 times a week and jogging 2 times a week. I don't now, it just seems to work for me.

I pretty much eat the same as Minimi. If I get hungry between meals I have sf hot chocolate or chai tea and that takes the edge off.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention tea! Hot wonderful, herbal tea! It is my drug of choice now. Morning, night and anywhere in between. My favorite for the moment is red leaf chai tea, tastes good and is caff free! If I'm craving sweet I put a little sf pumpkin flavored Syrup in it. Calms all the demons!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
