Great conversation on the board.
WE ARE all so different in how we must approach. It comes down to our physical cravings for carbs, our resistance and more on what plan we must adhere to make it.
Carbs are my enemy at all costs. No doubt about that.
I am literally a zero carb eater! It is where I MUST be, not by choice........but more and more it is by choice in that I am now finding it is ALSO about healthy food. It is about chemicals, processed foods, junk, high sugar intake, non-nutritional crap I put in my body.
For me I can never see a treat day as junk. To treat myself to junk that makes me want more junk and gives me little to no nutritional value? I can't go there anymore! One reason is the more I researched about food and how I react to it, it became clear it is ALL about what quality of food you eat also.
I get it Nicco!
You are one who can experiment a bit and have what ya want and do it how it fits you. Go for it! Not a thing wrong with that. It is 100% about how we make it work long term and fit our lives. No doubt about that!
WE ARE A WILD group....some can have so much more and control, some can't have even close to 10 total carbs to handle that control over our plans, but we get along and we chat fine and we have a fun good group!!!!
JAZ, this Porkchop best be looking like friggin' Cary Grant and Clark Gable and all to get another chance
Like you said, IF he is already doing this, down the road you are screwed more
Should be interesting to see where this goes, but do not be too off if he disappoints, I mean his track record sucks already.
I haven't had a crab cake in years now. Most are carb central, just loaded with the crumbs. The Dockside Restaurant near our beach cg is the only ones, fresh made with no crumbs, it is a mass of crab with flavorings, omg the best I ever had. Boy now I want some! Gotta plan a trip that way to get them tho LOL
hey no rain came. 80s here too. AC back on. We need rain bad, but no show for a while I think.
Blue, smart for you. If you choose a 6/1 plan then you must make it work without the nibbles. The nibbles killed me for a bit there, I had to say NO and hold my ground to get off those again. It is rough but we can survive, I mean it is only food, it isn't like we are being deprived of air~
I have to keep that in mind alot, it is only food~ It is not, not, not a life threatening situation LOL but I swear some days it is HA
Charms you are fine. No one is ever gonna be 100% in a agreement with what food is good or not for them and one size doesn't fit all of course on any diet plan or way of life eating.
The more I researched (and this is good and for me) the more I found it is about quality of food I eat. Most can lose lbs. eating anything they want, I did it before. Strict calorie restriction to the max, and where did it get me, fat again
cause I was starving. Mostly I was starving cause my food choices were junk. No nutrition for the body, it wants to be fed, not given junk and if you give it junk, and nothing of substance, then you start to eat more and more to find nutrition. I think I fell into that category for sure
To me the more I read the more I see sugar as an absolute food to be eliminated and avoided along with wheat, soy and tons more.
As long as I feed myself so well then I am fine. If I toy with nibbles of junk stuff, I start to lose my grip. My food choices are what holds me to my plan easily, if I sway, then it becomes a friggin' fight to hold plan. I see it, it is real, therefore I see that junky food is not worth it for me, ever, nada, gonzo.
I guess it boils down to how it works for us and what foods we will allow in our bodies, and again, no 2 will be the same. I have to keep that in mind when chatting LOL
Meme I agree, groups like ours are great cause we can chat away, speak our minds, but we are friends, we just let go what we don't need to hear and do our own thing. We don't debate a green bean vs. a donut, we don't get into macros and more and should one do this or that, that is for the LC war zone
, we used to a little long ago, but now it is about finding others who are doing plans and rocking them out, give support to find our way and be big mouths just chatting about nothing
HI ALL
simple day. Was gonna go out with Barb, but she has to stick around the dairy, Rex is doing blood on the herd and she has to wait on this installation guy for hay irrigation pipes or something like that. 24/7, 365 is her farm, no way around that. So we are rescheduling for next week to go run around and be crazy and spend some bucks shopping.
My ribs were fab. I have 1/2 rack for today, I ate a small ribeye and ribs yesterday and I thought I could inhale the whole rack, but I couldn't. THAT is good, I actually was so full yesterday
today is ribeye and ribs again. Can't go wrong with that. Zero carb, you gotta be a meat hound and I AM TO THE MAX.
Might take doggie out walking or whatever, not sure how this day will roll. It won't be loaded with any kind of cleaning chores, that is for sure!!
everyone have a fab day. I can't believe next week the time changes again....wow life rolls on fast doesn't it?
