Today is Friday and I've been having a difficult week...and overall a difficul time losing weight. First of all, I ate half of a Carrot Cake....but was on plan prior to that eating Whitecastle Pie...but that seemed to be a lot of calories...and cheese!

When I was on Atkins I stuck to it but I was tired all of the time and I was eating a lot of fat, but especially a lost of cheese.... I've been reading a lot of diets on this forum trying to figure out just what is right for me... I like CAD and lost initially 5 pounds, but nothing after that. Then I started cycling and kept gaining and losing the same 5 pounds... Then went to South Beach and lost that 5 pounds in a two week period and nothing since....that was around August 9th...

Based on what I know for sure, I know that when I switch diets I lose weight initially that week but afterwards nothing. So that is telling me that I need to switch things up to continue losing, however, that could simply mean adding in some good carbs and not switching plans...

Plans that I am considering are Eat Fat Get Thin, Barry Groves, and Suzanne Sommers, Sommercize Program....

Today Fawn suggested that following these guidelines would result in a good weight loss program....

A solid weight loss plan that most will not have any problems losing on would include:
animal proteins including eggs and fish
coconut oil
olive oil
butter
vegetables all other than root veggies and corn
avocado

Now that's pretty boring but it's a guaranteed weight loss plan.

Eat Fat Get Thin, Day 1....

Okay, today is day one of Eat Fat Get Thin. Today I combined it with IF and had one meal which I ate at 7:00 p.m....my eating window lasts for an hour so today that was until 8:00 p.m.

I entered my calories into Fitday and was surprised at just how few carbs 40 carbs is... Heck one cup of cooked broccoli is 13 carbs...that is a lot! One apple is 19 carbs...medium... The fajita seasoning that I used, Kroger Brand was 12 carbs for half of the package... I definitely need to find a recipe for my own low carb Fajita seasing, after reading the ingredients it was full of crap that I don't want to eat again!

Overall, I am satisfied with my ratios... I evcen had 2 T. low fat sour cream on the fajita.... I said I was giving up dairy, but have decided that I can have it in moderation..... Today sour cream was my only dairy so if I limit it to possibly once a day I can see how it is affecting my weight loss...

Have a great day everyone! I did well today and I should be proud of myself...
