Since being on Atkins, I've found it hard to stick to the HF routine of "6 meals a day" as well as the menus. I was more used to the freedom of eating whenever I was hungry & whatever I wanted (or had handy). Also, with the amount of running around that I do, I often don't get that many 'meals' in. What I have been doing lately, however, is trying to keep my fat intake a little lower than what I did when on Atkins. I also bought myself this vanilla shake powder that I will make up for myself if I want a little something (it only has 1g carb / 1g fat / 12g protein / 60 Cals per serving. It also contains a bunch of enzymes, thermo-??? things in it [who knows whether or not they really work ...but it sure sounds great] ) ...the taste isn't too bad & it takes the edge off my hunger when I don't have the time or patience to make something proper to eat.
Last week was my first week of trying 'Phase 2'. I didn't loose a thing (except maybe a little excitement) . How much of the fault lies within the diet plan (increased carbs), or that I was getting closer to my TOM, or if my metabolism switched to a lower gear ...who knows. This week I'm knocking down my carbs a bit (sort of between the Ph-1 & Ph-2 allowances) to see what kind of results I get.
