Hey everyone! I just started today. Decided over the weekend it was time for a change and ran across this diet....and it looked like something I could do! I'm about 5' 11", about 285lbs last time I checked. I'm only 29. I was a college athlete and when I graduated I was at about 235, but some of that was muscle. Since then it's just been on a down hill swing. I feel terrible, I look terrible, and I have no energy to play with our 3 year old son.
I started up with my nuts and berries today and LOTS of water and so far so good.....no terrible cravings. What I love is that if you do get a craving you just have to tell yourself "make it until the feast meal." But I know I also need to be careful with this....I know I can't go insane, but I also don't have to stop cold turkey and immediately start eating baked chicken and steamed broccoli. That's why I think I'm going to succeed. I know I need to eat healthier, but this gives me the chance to work up to that. I didn't have a chance this morning, but I'd also like to do some walking (hopefully everyday) just to get back in the swing of things. I want to put on some muscle like I had in college, but I don't want to burn out early. First I want to see weight come off.
I hope everyone continues to check in periodically....I like reading about everyone's experiences.
