As most of you know I have been watching what I have been eating in an effort to lose weight. I am on a huge weight loss journey. Right now I have lost 28 lbs and on Tuesday I will see how much further I have come on this journey at my next weigh in. I am following a low carb diet, I have eliminated potatoes, pasta and bread from my diet.
I will tell you this, I have a lot more energy than I had previously, I also do not have the pain in my knees that I had. I am on day 61 of tracking my food with My Fitness Pal. Right now I am allowed 433 g of carbs a day, I have myself down below 150 g of carbs a day. I am going to eventually lower myself to 50 g of carbs. I am not eating very many processed foods at all. I have cut out all sweets. But honestly I may allow myself something here and there if I want it (a bit of something). But I personally have found that if I have a sweet craving if I have something like fruit and cool whip or a smoothie I can usually satisfy my craving for something sweet.
I have found that being creative and finding great recipes are key to staying on the low carb eating plan I am following. I am so lucky that my fiance loves to cook! There are so many amazing recipes that I will give you links to soon! Most recently I tried Cloud Bread. It is phenomenal!

The recipe above has the option of sweetener I never use it, I omit that.
It is not too hard to follow the low carb diet, I have found following it, more than anything I don't miss the bread, pasta and potatoes. Now that I am used to eating lower carb foods. I do miss fruit, I don't eat it much it is mostly unlimited veggies. But for a treat I will eat some berries which are lower carb.
I am going to stay on this track, see where I go from here! :)
