Carbs vs. Calories (or: Transitonsing from the Zone, part II)
When we last left our heroine, she was wondering if Atkins Induction was necessary , considering the Zone WOE had already banished her cravings and gotten her through withdrawal. As we tune in now, she is sitting at her computer and scratching her head, wondering where all those carbs came from ....
OK folks ... Here it is my second day of this Zone-to-Atkins transition, and after entering today's meals into Fitday, it seems I've consumed 37g of Carbs, and only 1433 calories! Using the 10x rule, I should be right around 2000 calories!
Given the fact that I've probably already consumed more calories today than any recent Zone day, do I need to get those last calories in? I'm already way over in the carb department, and I want to stop eating!
Apart from feeling full, everything else is going well. I feel alert and energetic, and BFL is going well. Fitday has helped me see where the carbs are coming from (no more red peppers in the salad, or lowfat plain yogurt just to finish the container!) and I know where to make adjustments.
Suggestions anyone? Please keep in mind, feeling good is great, but I want to lose inches, too!
