I need to lose weight quickly as a requirement for a hernia operation. The hospital suggested a low carb diet, which I tried. One month later I had lost twenty pounds from 191 to 171. The diet was hard for me as I drink at least one coke a day with a chocolate bar, I love pasta, and all kinds of bread. The diet was a success, my operation is over and I am two weeks into recovery.
The diet did two things, I lost weight (to be expected) but more importantly I started watching what I eat. It was a complete change in how I thought about food, it certainly made me more mindful of when I eat, why I eat and portion sizes. I don't follow the same restrictive diet but I do follow a similar approach by keep it low carbs. During the diet I was always hungry and even now I find myself hungry quite a bit but I don't' indulge. As Jon said above, it's alright to be hungry. Sometimes I know I am hungry out of boredom more than anything else and that isn't a reason to eat. I haven't figured out the meat portion of my new way of eating but typically I don't eat a lot of meat as my Japanese wife cooks mostly Japanese food which usually means very small portions of meat. So I don't know about the bacon part. I am looking forward to reading Grant's new book. Somehow I think it will be similar to his first book. Some of it I will agree with and some of it I think will be hogwash. As for bike related overnights, can't help you there. You couldn't pay me to camp. Like grrlyrida, I am a hotel kind of person. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
