always tired
We've started our initiation diet almost two weeks ago. I dont know when I
am supposed to start feeling energetic.... I was a fruit and salad person before, always eating healthily, never refined sugar, flour etc. Alway wholewheat, seeds, fruits,etc. Hardly ever any read meat or eggs, just fish and turkey or sometimes chicken. Mushrooms, salads, berries, etc. At age 24 I weighed 120 lbs Now at age 57 (and a new marriage, which is what did me in: all that cooking for each eother with bottles of wine and candlelight) I weigh 163 pounds and want to loose certainly at least 20 of those. But I am sooooo very tired. After we eat I am ok for about one hour. Then I drag myself on again through the day. Is ,my body just refusing to cooperate? Does it want to go back to fruits and verggies and healthy carbo's??? Gosh how miss my apples.... and my muesli/yoghurt breaksfast with OJ... help, can anyone advise me? thanks jopie (permanently tired now) |

Give up and stay fat because obviously you don't have what it takes to do
otherwise. -- Slink on back to assorted.stupid.whiners, enema breath. -- MFW "Jopie" wrote in message ... We've started our initiation diet almost two weeks ago.

Give Atkins (or whatever low carb you're on another couple of weeks at the very least). Hang in there. Another option that sounds a little closer to the way you used to eat is the South Beach Diet. I suggest sticking to whole, unprocessed foods as much as possible. Although I do eat a little splenda and there personally. I chose protein power as it suits my taste. There's more than one diet out there, but if you are going to shop around with them at least try each one for a month or so. Any less and you aren't giving your body time to adjust. Eating paradigm changes take a while for the body to adjust to. Do research and lots of reading, knowledge is power READ READ READ and get more than one opinion on things. Not just "bread is not low carb" D |

Mushrooms, salads, berries, etc. At age 24 I weighed 120 lbs I don't understand. In another thread you mentioned Atkins, so I assume that is the plan you are adopting. On Induction you can eat the salads, fish, turkey, and chicken. After a few weeks when you progress into OWL, you can slowly increase consumption of berries, nuts and seeds. And eventually limited quantities of grains. If you are not used to eggs and beef, and don't want to eat them, then don't. And make sure you drink plenty of water. Sometimes I think the latter is overlooked or underemphasized. |

The way you used to eat sound a lot like a maintenance version of Atkins. It
also sound like the problems came in when you started drinking a lot of wine and eating whatever it is you are eating during these romantic dinners. Why not tell your sweetie what's going on and switch to a healthier way of eating for your dinners together? Wine alone can add a lot of calories. If the old way of eating was working for you, I would go back to it and start getting more exercise to burn off the excess pounds that you put on. Atkins isn't for everybody. -- Nancy S+13 Atkins Off and On Since 1999 Back on the Wagon Since May 30, 2004 Gotta Remember This Is a WOL, Not a Diet! 180.5/177.5/125 "Jopie" wrote in message ...

Gosh how miss my apples.... and my muesli/yoghurt breaksfast with OJ... help, can anyone advise me? thanks jopie (permanently tired now) So, what kinds of foods are you eating now? I have found that overly greasy foods weigh me down and make me sluggish, so I tend to stay away from things like bacon and I limit my cheese and butter too. Also, I get tired after big meals, so I usually eat smaller, more frequent meals. You don't have to eat red meat or stop eating veggies on low-carb, by the way. I don't know which plan you're doing, but I made up my own and I eat lots of salad, spinach, and brocolli and it doesn't hurt my efforts at all. Now, when I pig out on nuts or eat too much cheese . . . then I stop losing, lol. -- Michelle Levin http://www.mindspring.com/~lunachick I have only 3 flaws.

I don't understand.
You say you ate "healthily" and were happy with your weight. Now you have a new marriage and have put on pounds due to "wine" and all that cooking? Why not go back to the way you ate when you were happy with your weight? Jennifer Jopie wrote: We've started our initiation diet almost two weeks ago.

I however am not on Atkins or South Beach I for the most part ( a few modifications that do not stall me have been added) follow Somersizing. I think you need to find what works for you and not just pick one because a lot of people recommend it or are on it. Check a few of the books out of the library to read about them before you decide to buy and get dissapointed in spending the money on something you realize will not work for you or you do not like. Atkins works for a lot of people my father in law has lost a ton on it, I like others thought it was all meat eggs and cheese etc. I read The Zone, Atkins New Diet Revolution, Eat More Weigh Less, Eat Great Lose Weight, and many others before deciding. -- Low Carb since 11/12/03 235ish/175/135 Goal for June: 165 for a loss of 10 lbs. |
