Let’s say that I’ve decided to eat low fat, I do real well at it for a while. Then, I start missing the stuff and pretty soon I think of the things I’ve read about carbohydrate restriction and can reason myself into a big piece of meat.
Truth be told, for me, I can’t be told I can’t have something. I’ll immediately start to crave it. I am just working on portion control, eating slow enough for my body to tell me that it is full and not getting the deprived feeling that leads me to overeating.
That coupled with some quality time with Felicia (my road bike) and I hope to control my weight.
one of the many wondeful aspects of low carbing is that you actually lose your cravings for sugary sweet things... hard to believe but it is absolutely true. must be because you are giving your body what it needs - fats and proteins. It's a scientific fact that your body does not actually need carbs, ask the eskimos, they know...
