hey joette!
I agree with karen~! I believe a lot of this diet is mindset. You have to want to to lose the weight MORE than eating that piece of chocolate. I have cravings all day and every night before I go to bed. I am THEE carb junkie, not to mention sugar junkie!!!! Starting this diet was near impossible, especially when I went through carb withdrawal...
MY advice to you.. is to go out and FIND why you wanna lose weight to begin with. you need the DRIVE and the ambition before you embark on a journey that has restriction. I want to fit into a certain stores clothing .... right now I cant, but everytime i look at all the darling clothes, I'm reminded that I can do it, and I need to keep up my work!!!!!
Sure its a low carb diet, but with any other diet, you need the ambition to suceed. You have to want to lose the weight bad enough before you start cutting away the foods you enjoy. I've forced myself to FULLY enjoy all the foods I CAN have ... I got so EXCITED today when I realized I could eat a hot dog with a little cheese on top!!!!! oh and bacon and eggs for breakfast?? No other diet allows this. Take advantage of this diet... it will work in your favor, as soon as you want to try it BAD enough!!!!!! I've lost 6 lbs in 8 days... now THAT is motive right there!!!!
good luck! keep us posted!!!!
