Is the problem with fluctuating weight metabolism or diet consistancy?
Other than being a great round number, any reason for choosing 100g a day? Seems like you can get a lot of blueberries in your diet with that many carbs. (The blueberry crop failed the prices are expect to go way up  ).
Wish you the best in your journey. |
Thanks nawchem! The problem is definitely diet consistency. In other words, I know the difference between healthy and unhealthy, but my willpower (or lack thereof) sometimes gets the best of me. It's also a matter of how difficult it is to keep weight off once you've lost it. Even eating decently means that I end up putting weight back on.
As for the 100, I'm seeing studies describing a "sustain weight" level of carbs at 75-125, so I just hit the middle. Truthfully, I'll probably just end up adding back until I hit a level where I'm putting on weight again. In other words, if I start regressing at 80 carbs, I'll bring it back down.
The more I read about low-carb diets, the more nervous I get. Reading Gary Taubes makes it sound like I'm never going to be able to eat again!
