Hello There
I thought I would "branch out" and read a few more of the boards that I fit into! I am fairly new to Low Carb (about a month) and started because my DH was diagnosed with diabetes... and I need to lose a lot of weight. So far I am doing great and feeling better.. though I am still tired and take a nap with my toddler, though it could be *because* of my toddler that I am soo tired! LOL!
I find it facinating that I am able to "beat the cheats" on this WOE... I think part of it is because my DH *has* to be good and I feel like I just can't eat stuff he loves, it wouldn't be fair to him! The other reason is because I just don't have the cravings I used to (I was a *big* time chips, potato, and french fry muncher) with the help of pork rinds. I occasionally crave sweets, but since I am not big into sweets... a small square of carbolite chocolate or a small bowl of SF ice cream does the trick. I am not saying I am perfect.. I have only been on this diet for about a month! But I am just amazed that I have not had the horrible cravings that I have had on the many low-fat diets of the past!
I am looking forward to getting to know all of you!
