Hi there!! Better late than never today...
I had an appointment with the nutritionist today who is PUTTING me IN LINE!
No more pop or juice!!! Ugh; torture!
I am allowed no more than 30 grams of carbs at a meal; I can eat carbs no close than 2 hours apart and I MUST have a source of protein along with the carbs to "cancel" the carbs out.
At dinner/lunch, I have to have protein (meat) some fiber (green leafy/veggies) then ONE carb serving- potatoes, small serving of rice, piece of WW bread.
Basically snacks need to be cheese, cottage cheese, fresh veggies with a bit of dip, etc.
She is letting me having only my Activia yogurt (cause it helps my tummy); yogurt is high in carbs.
The ONLY fruit I can eat right now is... pears, apples and grapefruit. (not a fan of grapefruit!!)
I NEED to exercise 3-4 times a week!! (I knew this!)
I have to do another 12 hour fast to have blood draw to check my lipids and tri-glycerides!
I am going back in a month to check in with her, go over my food journal, get a weight measurement, and a possible repeat on blood work to see how my insulin levels are.
I feel SO hungry today!! Oh, she did also mentioned Atkins Protein drinks- which are GOOD; I can have those for breakfast or a snack.
**My body feels like it is going through a withdrawl right now! This really SUCKS bad; but I know I have to do this. The nutritionist also said that if all of this doesn't help me to improve- I will have to cut out ALL carbs!! Can you imagine? **
(I ate a couple crackers tonite and I was LIKE IN HEAVEN!!!!! LOL)

Your body will sure withdraw and it isn't fun. Watch out for the headaches that come with it. I have done this and lost 50 lbs,But protein very bad for Fibro so im damned if I do and damned if I don't.
Oh, I so know what you are going through! I am still going through it! It really sucks, but once you see the progress your body goes through and how much better you will feel maintaining your diet and exercise you will feel like a new person! Trust me!
You will initially have withdrawls but then it'll become 2nd nature...This i know from experience.
The Fruit thing should chnage abit once things are in Gear as there are many good fruits that slow release,Ideal for diabetics,I was Insulin dependant so I know strict,But Gee never felt better...
it will be hard at first - to get into a new eating routine - to break a habit it takes about 2 weeks - you can do it ! For your healths sake and you`ll feel and look better .
The diet sounds abit like the slimming world one i did years ago , i did the red days mostly - where you ate protiens - ie meats with veg / salad and just a small potato or rice - it did work for me i lost weight , my tummy was the flatest it had been in years !!
if you get the munchies - try to distract yourself for a few minutes and you may forget about it - or have some water - boring i know - but it may help you , sometimes we mistake hunger for thirst .
Good luck !!
Thanks for the update, Noelle! You can do this! Just take one meal at a time. Drinking more water will really help. try making it ice cold and drinking it after you brush your teeth. That's how I got started. Now I crave water! ♥
Oh, I didn't tell you what I'm doing this week... Well- !'m grounded! Ha-ha! The brakes are going out in my van so Bobby says if I go anywhere, I have to do so at my own risk! Yikes! We can't put the van in the shop yet because the truck is already in the shop getting a new engine!
We were going to go to the end of the year home school picnic today but now Micah will just stay home and swim! You should see how brown he gets in the Summer!
Oh wow! You can do it! I know it will be hard, but we will keep encouraging you:)
My Triglycerides are high. 354. I should also be doing something.
Free cake topper, woo hoo!
I have an award for you on my blog. Check it out when you have time:)
