Been doing SB for 7 weeks and lost 23.5 lbs. It was reccommended for my
very high cholesterol in hopes to avoid medication along with running.
I eat all the time. My husband is in shock at how much and how often I
eat. You should never be hungry. I pack pistachios, cashews, peanuts,
walnuts etc. in my car. I keep SB breakfast bars, low fat, low cal
yogurt, snow peas, and hard boiled eggs around for breakfast when I
don't have time to cook. I have whole grain breads and pasta with low
carb peanut butter and homemade spagetti sauce. I eat raw veggies a
lot. Make sure you get your healthy fats because those are what give
you that filled feeling, ie: olive oil, avocados, and so on. Forget the
menus in the books and eat what you love to eat on the list and don't
count the nuts or skip the fruit flavor yogurt. Have 10 calorie jello
often, low fat, low cal pudding, low fat, low carb fudgesicles, and
Hershey's low car chocolate bars with almonds. Have things wrapped in
low carb tortilla wraps. Don't starve or your metabolism will shut down
and you won't lose weight. I did the induction phase for the full two
weeks and lost 13 pounds - water, fat, who cares as long as it isn't on
me anymore. Eat, and eat often and then eat some more but stick with it
because even though the first three days are hard, your habits will
change and you won't miss anything later on and you will lose weight.
That is coming from a person with a two pop a day, one candy bar and
always desert, bread, pasta, rice, sugar and more sugar a day person
who broke the cycle. Go for my cholesterol check next Monday and I'll
bet I broke that down a lot too. I have never dieted, have no will
power, and have a family that takes every second I have so if I can do
it and not starve and still let my kids eat junk food in front of me,
ANYONE CAN!
