Howdy All...
Just a LC interested starter. I have done a clinical LC program that did work, but the cost (dollars) and low energy level without a focus on exercise made it expensive and impractical for me. I worked a job on an overnight shift that totally messed up my sleeping habits for a year and 1/2 that was killing me slowly. I managed to put on about 50 lbs, and felt hirable. I have a daytime job now and feel so much better. I am trying to find a sane LC lifestyle not just a diet. I have purchased several LC cook books trying to find alternative eating options that fit into my lifestyle. My biggest problem is that the recipes that I have are real expensive, have long prep times, and don't keep well. I don't know if there are a lot of people like me that need quick easy inexpensive! meal alternatives? And exercise I feel is very very important. I am just riding an exercise bike that is part of a fitness center that is located at the apt complex that I live at. I do admit however that it can be difficult to go the 4 times a week that I want to (no excuses) I average 2 to 3 right now and am trying to make it a priority. I do a lot of things that seem to work well for me. I make my own "Protein Drink" using whey protein, powered milk and such. I buy meat products on sale bake up a bunch cut it up for salads and cooking then freeze it. If anyone has some advice or is in a similar situation I would love to here from ya. Any brown bag lunch options would be great seems to be a sticking point for me right now. Take care and good luck...
TIA,
