Hi Paula. I am finally joining. I knew I couldn't " do it" before Christmas . So here I am ! I have been a slug for atleast a year or so. and although eating well, I was drinking too much alcohol and eating too many sweets, working too hard at work and not exercising at all!My goal is to lose 15 pounds, but 10 would be ok. So this is what I've started. No beer at all. No more wine with the occasional lunch. Actually no more alcohol during the day.No more desserts, cakes cookies, etc, etc. I've cut out all carbs except for steel cut oats that I have for breakfast. so no more potatoes, rice pasta bread. All the food I typically crave.
snacks are celery, carrot sticks, nuts. I only drink green tea as my beverage & sometimes tomato or orange juice. Only fish and chicken, no red meat.one glass fo organic wine ( red) at night w/ dinner.
Exercise, walk at least 3 x a week, aiming for 4-5. Light weights and aerobic too.
I am doing the diet for 6 weeks, and then will gradually ease back into some carbs. Hopefully I'll have more control. Wish me luck!
