Low carb lifestyle day #5

So it's day 5 eating below 50 grams of carbs per day and I feel unusually run down.  My muscles ache and I just want to sleep.  I read that's common in the beginning.  Here's to a better tomorrow.

Low carb lifestyle day #4

Looks like I've lost a couple pounds so far, but I also don't have a good working scale.  That'll  be an upcoming purchase for sure. I do notice I don't feel like I'm starving.  I'm also sleeping a whole lot better.  I have noticed an increase in my energy.  It hasn't been hard to avoid carbs.  Staying below 50 grams still. So far, counting carbs is a whole lot easier than counting calories. 

If I feel like snacking, I can munch on mixed nuts which fulfills my eating desire.  Still feeling confident in my decision.  I want to thank my cousins wife, Elizabeth, for mentioning it.  I also want to thank my sister, Tricia, for letting me fill her inbox with lchf messages since she's been doing this for quite some time now.

Low carb lifestyle day #3

Today is day #3 of my low carb lifestyle.  I have yet to feel real urges for sugar, breads and pastas.  So far, I haven't seen any negative or positive effects. I've keeping my carb intake below 50 grams a day so far.  I know some days I'll probably exceed that. According to research, intake of 50 and below grams of carbs will maximize my weight loss and health. 

So far it's been easy though I've yet had to make dinner for the family and myself.  The family is not on a low carb diet, so I will have to figure some things out.
