I absol...Angie, I will be cheering for you as well. I absolutely feel your frustration. It happened to me as well. I recently had a genetic test done to see what type of dieter I am. Supposedly the test is very accurate, who knows. It showed that I am a better balancer type meaning I do better eating high fat high carb diet. I am still not going to eat 50 % carbs as the genetic test recommended but I did start eating carbs. I added quinoa, some low carb bread and few other things. I already feel so much more at peace. I love low carb and I know it works majic especially for people like me who have been overweight for a while indulging in carb overload. Not only it causes insulin resistance but it also causes many millions of new fat cells to be born. Not a lot of people are aware but when we gain weight we also give birth to many millions of new fat cells. And we lose weight those cells never die, they just shrink. Therefore it is so hard to keep the weight off. Once you gain those cells they will be starving for energy. And the best solution is low carb diet. However the only downside of being on induction kind of low carb is that when you do slip and start indulging back in carbs your body shifts back from burning fat for energy to burning sugar, from gluconeogenesis to glucose. And your fat cells looooooooove it. It means new energy storage. So are you going to make them happy those fat bustards or are you going to shrink them???? Are you going to be the boss or let them fat cells rule the show??????? I believe in you! You will get back on low carb and lose the weight again! But this time if I may suggest may be start slow, not induction but more like lower carb with some carbs allowed such as low glycemic fruits and a peace of bread here and there, this way if you do fall off it wont affect your weight drastically. What you think? Or you are so comitted and ready that you are going full force?Vadimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07676919768303339605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1626457481219722929.post-83965072365501529482010-05-04T11:46:09.582-07:002010-05-04T11:46:09.582-07:00You can do it Angie ... it's not a race so no ...You can do it Angie ... it's not a race so no one is holding up a finish line or counting which place you are in. It's just a path that we all walk and get there in our own time.
