Well, I am pleased to say that after 7 days going low carb,/high fat (only the good ones), I am feeling quite well. I still have a lot to learn and have made a few mistakes along the way, like eating clementines or tangerines, not realizing how loaded they are with carbs. and yes, I gave in yesterday to half a slice of Panera Easter Bread, didn't even enjoy it like I thought I would. So much for folks with good intentions giving great bread to me, and the Easter Bunny left me a tiny size, mini M&M package, which I felt compelled to eat a few to see if I really miss it, Walla, I did NOT need to eat the rest.
The first few days on this eating style, I seem to have been releasing lots of fluid, and my digestive tract began to work like a normal person, which has never happened for me. Hope this is not TMI, but I am concerned that things have slowed down in those 2 areas and was wondering if this is normal.
I am still kind of concerned about the fat I am eating, as I work with a lot of younger adults that are health buffs and do the low carb/low fat diet. I am wondering how long to continue the LC/HF, before I know if I should reduce the fat.
Thanks to all of you for keeping this thread alive, as I find everyones experience and advice helpful.
I'm on Spring Break, so I hope to do more reading and tweaking of the LC/HF plan.
Have a Super Holiday Season!
