Amen to that. Like I said, I was thrilled to maintain 259 +/- 4 pounds for a year: That has NEVER happened in my life... I've always yo-yo'd. Tells me it's possible for me to be stable on an LC lifestyle.
RE: your quote, yes -- being able to eat a few fats when cutting calories helps me (and I'm sure a lot of other people) feel fuller when cutting back for a while.
By the way, I've set up several spreadsheets for doing all this counting (carbs, hidden carbs, calories, etc). I just punch in how much of what that I ate and it does all the computing for me. If anyone cares to have a copy, let me know, I can email it. (Dunno if that's kosher to do on this site, but I'm sure someone will tell me if it's not). |
