Carb Cycling- An Experiment Gone Right!

[PattyGirl66 1,243]

I have to say Missy, I've read the quote on your signature a thousand times - "I'm nothing special, just a fat girl desperate not to be fat anymore".

I want to tell you - - you ARE special. You're so supportive, so honest, so caring...your family and friends (and us!!) are very lucky to have you around. Thank you so much for helping us all along.

Missy is my rock, I wouldn't know what to do without this girl. The best thing that ever happened to me coming on here was finding her

On that note, she is a very special person who really does care and understands....

Angel that is amazing, I'm so happy for you!

I'm down another pound this morning too, for a total of 10.8 in just under 2 weeks since starting carb cycling! That's including a cheat day (per the book) too!

I seriously should cheat. I bet that would kick my metabolisim right in the big ole hiney, LOL

Well the 7th day is supposed to be a cheat day! I was scared to death to do, but I did, and I followed the rules.

You must cheat Breakfast and lunch, never dinner. You can go a maximum of 1000 calories over your daily allowance. You must eat at a table- no grazing, no distracted eating. No leftovers, whatever you don't finish from your cheat, throw away.

I did this last Friday. I had a package of Peanut Butter cups and I took my kids out to eat at Cracker Barrel. There I had some very fatty looking meatloaf and mashed potatoes smothered in gravy lol. But I stuck the cheat day rules, and sure enough, I still woke up lighter the next morning.

However, this week I'm not having a cheat day. With Thanksgiving next week, I figure I better behave because that whole day is bound to be one big epic cheat LOL!

Thanks missy for everything!!! Your answers to every ones questions are very helpful and caring, they have helped me tremendously on this journey.

Btw this diet is great!!!

I'm down 3.6 lbs since Sunday!!!!

[PattyGirl66 1,243]

You are all brave woman, I am going to wait my full 7 day to jump on the scale. I am tempted don't get me wrong. but I am use to getting on the scale once a week so I don't want to make a habbit of doing it everyday. I can't handle the stress like that, No really I may wand up throwing my scale at the backyard window. Imagine the neighbors watching a scale fly through the air..... hahahahaaa.

No you're smart to stick to your routine!

But if you do chuck it through a window? Have hubby take a pic as it happens please!

Hahahahaha!

Ladies, I wanted to share with you this. I found these mini whole wheat wraps. OMG, they are so good and so healthy. Especially on those low carb days, really any day, but especially those days because we need all the Fiber we can get, LOL

Thanks Missy! I owe it all to you! I had never heard of carb cycling until you started this thread. Reading your initial post and how successful you were with carb cycling your first week got me excited about trying it.

I had gotten into a rut the last couple of months and hadn't really felt all that "into" even trying as much as I did at the beginning. I was on a plateau, partially of my own making. I wasn't nearly as excited as I had been. When I read your initial post, I got excited again and it re-awakened my determination! Thanks so much for starting this thread. I really think it is helping quite a few of us.

PattyGirl, where did you find those wraps? I've never seen them at the store. They would be great to have my chicken salad or tuna salad on on the low carb days.

I found them at my local Shoprite store.
