Noticing A Pattern With Carbs

[ShannonK 266]

This may sound REALLY strange.....but I put a few more carbs into my diet, and the pounds started melting off again! I was eating 60g of Protein, a day, but very few carbs...and stalled at 253-255 for 10 days! I made some broccolo, rice, cheese casserole for a friend, and kept back a few servings for myself. 1/4 to 1/2 a cup with my turkey steaks, chicken or shrimp and voila! I was 248 this morning! Now - I used LOTS of broccoli - so I am betting about half of the above portion was actual rice.....

Maybe we have to have more carbs to kickstart it back?

Anyway - school year is going great. Very busy......

Good luck everyone!

Yes, I have read this same thing in other threads and have tried it myself and it does work!

There is an entire new diet theory coming out which is based on tricking your body by alternating between low calorie and high calorie days.VERY interesting stuff!!! I have read a lot of posts about people getting so upset about their lack of weightloss during a stall that they have a cheat day or two and voila, weightloss resumes! I love reading these posts, it totally validates what I have been reading about needing to switch things up. I also have read the same theory applies to exercise!
