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!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
