Sometimes a new perspective on things can make all the difference. There is no denying I am a carbohydrate lover. I crave sugar and strachy carbs. I have been learning how to curb cravings and I would say 80% of the time I am fine and go on to do other things once the craving has passed. But since starting the low carb my mind set changed and I kept telling myself I COULDNT have those things I wanted. A friend suggested I look into what is called carb cycling. I googled it and found some very informative pages on it and it sounds perfect for someone like me who can manage low carb for a few days but then the carvings kick in again.
I can cycle 3 low carb days then have a higher carb day. But I have promised myself that on a higher carb day the carbs have to be from clean, complex carbs. Not sugars. I am alot more happier now and I can see myself sticking to this to lose the bulk of my weight. :)
