I was gaining weight very rapidly and read about the idea of restricting carbohydrates as an alternative to going hungry. I had a big appetite, so that was the only thing I would even consider.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
For me, it's all about moderation. I don't kick things out of my diet, like carbs. But I'm not going to eat fast food.
I'm gluten intolerant, so that automatically cuts carbs from my diet.
I don't believe in the no-carb diet... I have a theory. I think if you give up carbs, you get cranky. You must include them in your daily diet.
Reminded of what a diet really is, I began eating more slowly, being more conscious of when I was full. I started to enjoy my buckwheat bread with goat cheese and pureed butternut-squash soup as a response to real hunger.
I am blessed with a good metabolism, and as long as I work out, carbs don't add to my weight. If I need a leaner, meaner look for a film, I go off carbs for a bit.
The lack of carbohydrates can make you a little crazy.
I love carbs, but denial is good training for the mind.
I've been dieting my whole life because I have a tremendous appetite.
I keep my diet low in carbohydrates and high in protein.
One of the key things I did to stay on my diet is I never allowed myself to get hungry. As soon as I got hungry, I'd eat healthy foods.
