Default 30lbs in 6 months....

and trust me I fell on my face a few times during the 6 months...

I read EVERY low carb book out there...and some! But I decided to make my own plan....listened to my body....watched for changes...and BINGO...RESULTS!

I'm 5'5 and weighed 150lbs....I have a very tiny frame...so this was ALOT to be packing around...I was diagnosed with a hypothyroid 3 years ago....The weight had snuck up on me (ok I was pigging out)...I weighed usually 110-112lbs.

My plan: (might be to extreme for some...I work from home)

6am wake up....one hour of cardio....walking on my treadmill...3.5 mph.

8am (wait one hour before you eat) protein shake made w/ water and add 3 strawberries.

11am core training (I bought the core secrets workout) OR an 1 1/2 hrs. of Power Yoga w/ instructor (she comes to my place)

noon: 3oz. canned tuna w/ 1 cup cucumber and 2 tlbs. mayo.

3pm: another protein shake

6pm: salmon, white fish or chicken breast w/ 1 cup steamed veggies.

8pm: either 30 minutes or another full hour on my treadmill...depends how I feel.

10pm...small protein snack...or half cup raw nuts like almonds or a single serving sugar free jello.

It's extreme...but WORKED!

I was in ketosis from day one of this program! I allowed SUNDAY to be my cheat day...not to Crazy...but I would enjoy one good cheat meal...like a cheese burger for lunch.

It was good for my body to have those sunday's off....kept me on track because I look forward to that one cheat meal!

Good luck...it's a lifestyle...NOT a DIET!
