greekblondechic · 01-31-2004, 01:23 PM

i dont know what to add how and when so that i dont regain

**Jodi** · 01-31-2004, 01:30 PM

Eating more increases your metabolism. Eating less, lowers it.

I'm not trying to interfere with your plan its JMO.

Randy · 01-31-2004, 02:01 PM

Greek,

I've been there myself once or twice...
There was a point years ago I felt that way and decided to go to the doctor for a physical. Well, I found I was A ok and was told it was depression. It was like a depressing time of the year as well.
The weather was cold and rainy and everything in my life at that time was kind of blah.

Anyway...The moral of this story is that you probably are fine Greeky...You just need some sunshine and a little cheerin up from your friends...

Randy · 01-31-2004, 02:03 PM

Does this mean I can eat 12 tubs of ice cream today Jodi?

It could be seasonal affective disorder since this is the time of year for it.

It probably is the weather Greeky. It stinks, it's cold and dark!!! I think Jodi is right about not eating enough, I had the same problem, I was afraid to eat more.. but when I did (good natural foods) I actually got leaner! I SWEAR!! AND I felt alot better!! Listen to Jodi, not me, but I was told the same thing.... and it was true for me!!

Randy · 01-31-2004, 04:29 PM

Hi Sapphire

greekblondechic · 01-31-2004, 04:29 PM

Randy · 01-31-2004, 04:30 PM

Jill · 02-01-2004, 11:11 AM

Your funny greeky!

Fairly good cheat meal I must say. Dandelion greens??? What do they taste like???

**Jodi** · 02-01-2004, 11:18 AM

ALA wouldn't have done much anyway.

The longer you spend on a low carb diet, the more often you feel bloated and basically screw up your body to be able to eat any carbs. This I know from experience.

Jill · 02-01-2004, 11:20 AM

What is ALA, and what is it used for Jodi?

greekblondechic · 02-01-2004, 11:30 AM

i will try to add more slowly (ugh, dont want any regaining!)

and as soon as i get to read up all about carb cycling i think i may start that..seems to be getting good reviews all around

and damnit i need results!!!

SUMMER IS COMING - 4 MONTHS!

Dandelion greens..hm..i dunno how to describe them..my mom boils them..a tad bitter..

Jill · 02-01-2004, 11:33 AM

Your the best Jodi!

Thanks!

atherjen · 02-01-2004, 11:35 AM

Ive had dandelion greens before... sounds weird to be eating them but their not bad eh!! and really good for you too!

dont be afraid hun.. just slowlyy add in more food. nothing extreme all at once. and I defintly think that you would like TPs Carb Cycling diet. works very well!

greekblondechic · 02-01-2004, 11:36 AM
