The other day I read that mister anchovy had shed himself of 50 pounds since last October, basically by following a low-cal, low-carb diet. And he inspired me to try the same. As most of you know, I’ve been whinging about being overweight for years and have started various eating/lifestyle change plans without any weight loss success. Well, I did lose about ten kilos after the emergency op, but that is hardly an ideal weight loss method. And so, for the past ten days I’ve been seriously low-carbing to see how well I could stick to it, and it turns out that it’s pretty easy to do (though I did allow myself one slice of toast yesterday).
So starting today I shall add low-cal to the low-carb plan and see how that goes. There are just so many reasons that a low-carb diet makes sense, especially for cancer survivors. And for the past month I’ve been going to the gym five days a week (doing pilates and cycling as well as yoga) so I think I’m all set up to finally do this for real. I’ve been wearing this uncomfortable “fat suit” far too long…
Wish me luck!
