worked at a Curves
Curves is a geat diet...yes it is alot like Adtkins...but its a lower fat diet or quality fat diet diet. Eating things like EVOO, chicken breast and turkey breast meat...using butter sparingly and avoiding margaries....Its also about finding protein sources from plant based foods as well. They have free foods alot of veggies and fruits....and yep I love the protein powder drinks. If memory serves, you do it in stages, "detox" so to speak, only 20g of carbs then it goes to 40 and 60 ( at leats thats what it was a few years ago when I did the diet the first time...and EXERCISE was a must....I lost 50 pounds, got sick, got lazy, went back to garbage foods, and packed on the pounds again and even found my fat had some friends that it brought along when it came back.
The thing I loved best is that Gary tells you about eating quality foods. High volume foods...prepare ahead foods...so that meal time is pretty quick and easy. Curves teaches you how to hanle the non dieting people in your family, how to handle the kids and junk foods...My kids loved Junk food day ( thats what I called it). It started out a big pain to retrain the brains...but after 2-3 weeks it went from a box of little debbies...to us having dinner out once a week.
As we know, its about changing your life forever, not getting to size??...If you can live this way you will keep it off, if you stop and give way to old habits you will fail...and what I have done now this time is really add exercise in that is the missing link.... anywho...hope that helps...and yep I rejoined curves again, and I am loving it... ))
