Anyway, what do i plan. Well. First off, i need to lower my salt intake. Sodium levels are through the roof. So are the carbs. So i plan on eating more whole wheat stuff as well. I cant entirely cut out carbs...one because it isnt that ideal for you and two because i love them.
I plan on exercising but im slowly getting into that routine as well. I dont plan on this being a super fast weight loss as its not for a short term thing. Definitely long term plan. |
Yep I did just get back from there. It's even hotter where I am though.
Lowering salt is a good idea, and so is cutting out carbs, but you are right, not completely. What I have done to cut out carbs, is to get low-carb whole wheat bread (45 calories a slice), use low carb tortillas from Mission as a substitute for normal breads/tortillas (they have a ton of dietary fiber and are low in net carbs), and also eat a lot of the South Beach Diet frozen pizzas and lunches. All of South Beaches' items are loaded with dietary fiber and are very low in net carbs. The protein shakes I drink are usually sweet tasting but very low in carbs, as are the low carb Snickers Marathon protein bars, and I find that both help me reduce my craving for real sweets, all while being healthy.
You have the right mindset. This is a long-term committment, not a crash diet.
