Okay, I'm joining. Somewhat begrudgingly, but will try to be positive. I say begrudgingly, because my husband has been coerced into doing keto as they are trying to get to the bottom of food allergies. He's had hives for months & the keto diet has completely eliminated that. How does that relate to me? Well, making multiple meals/day is really starting to wear on me & while I was resistant to changing my diet, I've been super impressed by my husband's weight loss (and, he really didn't have much weight to lose) & energy levels.
So, here I am. I'd love to lose weight (15 pounds would be awesome, but probably 25 would be on the thin side for my frame). I already work out a lot, and know that I do best on a more low carb diet. I'm also raising teen boys, who work out a ton, and do love carbs, so it's a balance.
My plan is to do a modified low carb:
-Cut easy carbs where possible (bread, pastas, etc)
-Eliminate sugary foods (candy, treats). This is normally very easy for me, but I've fallen into a bit of a rut
-I don't plan to eliminate any fruit or veggies, and should instead focus on increasing my produce consumption
-Decide what to do with wine/champagne. I drink wine/champagne only on weekends, but I'm guessing this is not great
Next week will be my first real week of giving this a shot. I'll typically also try to provide a carb/starchy side for teen boys at each dinner.
