New Years Jump Start

[NC Mama 23]

Does anyone have any plans for a New Years jump start to get back on track after the holiday season? I am looking for some ideas as I have not lost any weight in December. I was thinking of going back on liquids for a few days up to a week and then doing high Protein for a while. Does anyone else have any suggestions or ideas?

Granted I'm no doctor and this is strictly what works for me, but when I get stuck or need to regroup, I carb cycle for a couple weeks. If you'd like to learn more there's a very long thread on it here: http://www.lapbandtalk.com/topic/159669-carb-cycling-an-experiment-gone-right/

Again, this is just what seems to help me (and some others, as you'll see on the thread). I really believe the trick is figuring out what works best for your specific body and metabolism. Some do high protein/low carb, some just count calories, others just restrict fat. For me, the carb cycling works well getting me back on track and losing.

Whatever you did to lose the 49 lbs do that, seem to work .

Yeah, I need to get back on track as well. I have lost nothing in December and it's all my fault. I plan on doing some shakes, then maybe the carb cycling. I feel like I need to DETOX to get all of this sugar out of me

Are you setting a goal for January? I think I might do that as well.

I probably do need to set a goal for January. That is a good idea. I was thinking of doing the liquids for a few days to sort of detox from the sugar as well. I think I am going to look into the carb cycling thing. That may be a good idea. Thanks everyone!

I decided that i would make a semi long term goal to reach a certin number at easter while everyone else is eating choccie!!

I think im just going to be ultra strict on myself with chew chew chew chew chew, exercise and actually taking my multi Vitamin daily as opposed to maybe once a week! Its next to ny coffee machine so i dont really have any excuse.

When you guys have mentioned detox what do you do???? Please tell me its not like that fad from years ago having liqiud grass!!! But im very interested in tips for detox. Thanks!

No, no fad. I was just talking about fasting from food for a few days. Only doing Protein Shakes and liquids. I find that kind of helps in resetting your body after eating sugar, and rich foods that are not part of your daily routine.
