Sorry for missing so many days.
Day 3 was supposed to be the "worst day" - word on the street from "everyone"... it wasn't all that bad. I mean, I was ornery just like usual, but nothing -- no dreams of brownies or anything like that.
Day 4 I took El Presidante school shopping and he wanted to go for Italian for dinner. I talked him into Fuddruckers, where I got the cesar salad. It came with garlic toast and croutons. I almost cried pushing all that onto Conner's plate. I love me some delicious oily home-made croutons. {sigh]
Anyway, I made it through.
I'm staying under my calorie limit (which is 1200 plus whatever I workout, a dietician friend, as well as myfitnesspal both recommended I eat what they tell me to, so I am). I've lost 4 pounds as of today... so, that's good.
Part of me wonders if I was sticking to the calorie counts, if I would still lose, regardless of my lack of carbs.
Thoughts on that? Why does a low carb diet increase weight loss?
So far, so good.

Because we tend to eat mostly carbs, which increases insulin production, which increases cortisol, which makes fat. It's not ALL about calories in and calories out. You can eat some carbs (I think if you keep it to less than 25 carbs a day, it's fine). The problem is we often eat hundreds of carbs a day. I think that's why it works.
