Thought I was a turtle... but...
I lost another 8 pounds for a total of 35 in 14 weeks. not bad stats.
I would like to share my experience with everyone in the turtle club. I thought I was a turtle. I went a month without dropping a pound. I also thought I was eating the right amounts of foods. Really keeping an eye on my carbs... Much to my surprise .. what I found out was that I was eating too much protein. Having too much protein(amino acids) can also cause an insulin surge. So I went to the Zone website and calculated protein grams for my lean body mass. I adjusted my protein and then upped my carbs a bit to about 40-60 a day. Some days I stay at 20. My weight is melting off...
It feels great. If anyone has any questions or would like support, please e-mail me...
Thinning together...
