A couple of weeks ago I started a quick crash diet of fruit and a bit of protein, just for a week, to kick start my dieting (having been trying to get motivated for months). It was going really well until I got bored and put a couple of pounds back on. I posted on here and everyone said to do a low carb diet.
I bought the books, I bought the food, and I lasted ..... two days. It was horrendous. I forced down mackeral on day one for breakfast and a boiled egg that nearly made me gag on day two. I spent a fortune on food and the very thougth of eating it made me feel ill.
What's the point in being allowed cream if you have nothing to put it on but brocolli? I thought I would be allowed cheese and eggs, but reading furthher into the Charles Clarke book I bought seemed to suggest these were severely limited at the beginning.
I thought it was a diet that kept weight off until I got further in to the book and realised I would have to stay off carbs (I mean proper carbs, like cake 'n' stuff) for life. I would honestly rather be fat.
What do you all eat that keeps you motivated to stay on a low carb diet (and how do you afford to)?
