Day 1
 

Well today is the big day. I woke up and had 3 glasses of water 2 pork chops (dang it bacon has sugar in it wahhhhhh) and a cheese omelette with lots of spices.

i just had a snack of another pork chop and 5 martini olives (no martinis ever again)

I can do this

Hippogut....
 

HEY HG...pretty good "handle"...

just a word of encouragement...don't stop...you'll succeed...just keep it up...

also, bacon is ok..although I noticed that it does say sugar on the label....

bob

For some reason there is this bacon at my local store that has NO carbs or sugar, and tastes great. Smokey and sweet even. It is very inexpensive also.

I buy No-Name bacon at my store--it's the cheapest, and it is the only one that doesn't have carbs in it. It's very tasty!

Best of luck in this new WOL!

Bacon carbs depend on how it's processed. Many are hickory smoked (or use a similar process) and contain no carbs. Others utilize sugar to promote a sweeter flavor (for instance maple flavored bacon etc). Just check the ingredients...find one without sugar, and enjoy! (watch out for sweeteners in sausages too...alot of them process with sugar)

HG, re: sugar in bacon. Food manufacturers can get away with saying something is 0 carbs if it is less than one carb per serving. If your bacon says 0 carbs on the label, then count it as 1 carb per serving to be on the safe side. Sausage is the same way a lot of times. This is what I have done since I started on LC and it has worked for me.

Damn it... I better watch myself with the bacon.
I had four slices this morning when I was eating out.

Hidden carbs everywhere.... :\

Sneakin' little devils, they are!

At GF's
 

Had a mongo huge salad for lunch and 3 pork chops (killed the package off and hey gotta love foreman grills) and a half gallon of water

tonight me and my lady are having stuff she cooked for us

we start with a tossed anchovie salad

then blue fish stuffed with shrimp

and cauliflower au gratin

and for dessert we are eating each other...followed by a series of specialized calesthenics i like to call rapid hip thrusts in forward motion repeated until maxing out.

Then I will go home and if I am still hungry I will polish off a plate of chicken and greens before bed.



anyway we are going to have a lotttttt of fun

If you soak the pound of bacon in a pan of cold water overnight in the fridge
it gets rid of the salt, sugar and nitrates in it. Pan fry as usual.

awesome tip

Day Two
 

I tried it and it works..I hope. I am on day two and feeling fine.

I woke up and had mommy over for brunch and my girlfriend and her mommy

We had between the 4 of us a pound of bacon, a dozen poached eggs a tossed salad salmon with tartar sauce (my gf's recipe) and water fopr me and her and champagne for the mommies.

Each mommy had 2 poached eggs gf had 4 and I had 4.

This was yummy

I made a chicken and brocolli casserole with cheese for dinner and will have that along with water and a salad.

question...


diet vanilla coke has aspartane in it not sugar and has zero calories and zero carbs...can I have it?


I am really enjoying low carbing and no side effects not even ones from going off alcohol. I just eat when I am hungry (always always and always) and hope that eventually i will not be hungry anymore


Happy Muddahs Day to all de muddahs out dere!

The best kinda dessert! ;)

Coming off alcohol, you are gonna have some sugar cravings....I know that some people advise against sf jello but, in your case, I think you should have some on hand in case. Better that than grab for a beer or drink.

as far as aspartmae, some people are sensitive and some are not. I'm not. Try it and if if you find you are not losing, kick that too.

One day at a time...one day at a time!

You are doing great...keep it up!

This is the morning and afternoon of day 4

This is really working. I feel great. I'll keep up with the psillium husks
