The struggle is real cutting carbohydrates from my diet!



Recommended Posts

I never new how much of a carbohydrate junkie I was until I tried to cut them from my diet. I'm really trying hard to change how I'm eating. But all I keep thinking about is pizza.

The only times I have really screwed up was eating carbs at a party. bread and some dip. I can just not let myself eat carbs like Pasta or bread. Protein and vegies and fruit. It gets easier.

The thing about carbs and even sugar is that if you stop eating them you stop craving them. I no longer eat bread, pizza or starchy vegetables and I'm doing just fine. No cravings for carbs at all.

pizza, mmmmmm, yummy. Scrape the toppings off one slice, immediately through the crust in the trash, and slowly chew, chew, chew your very small bites. All of the flavor, no carbs, and you've scratched that itch!

Atkins makes a decent low carb pizza. It's pretty low in carbs.

Carbs are in just about everything so I assume your addiction is processed carbs like breads, pastas, etc... It's a learning curve. Like everyone has mentioned you'll have to be creative and come up with healthier alternatives. There's a recipe for Pizza Crust using cauliflower instead of flower. I make pancakes with Protein Powder & flax powder instead of flour. It can be done. Just get creative.

      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.
