Fourth Weekly Weight Update

It's really hard to imagine that 4 weeks ago I started doing LCHF.  It's just two days away from exactly a month of no sugar, and only 20g of carbs a day.  This diet/lifestyle is pretty successful in weightloss terms.  I'm really shocked that I was able to lose the amount of weight I did without starving myself.  I'm sure after four weeks it's not considered losing water weight anymore.   

My clothes are looser and I see a big change in my body and my face.  My cheeks are the first place to show if I gain or lose weight.  I'm starting to look more like the old me.  I feel more energetic and alive, not sure if it's the diet or the yoga, or maybe it's a little bit of both.  I feel lighter on my feet, but then again I am literally lighter on my feet. 

 I'm still not done with losing weight, but at least I'm a big step closer to my old bikini body.  This past week I was a lot more disciplined in LCHF, I cut out a lot of my onion and tomatoes.  I thought they were hindering my weight loss after the last weight update.  So I haven't used them as much the rest of the week.  Surely it was the right choice because I was able to increase my weightloss this past week.  I wasn't too thrilled about the last weight update being one pound.     

Here is the fourth weekly weight update:

-2.6 lbs (-1.18kg)

Total amount since started: -9.2 lbs (-4.17kg)

Third Weekly Weight Update

Three whole weeks have gone by since that first day I went LCHF. So far it's been good, but I had a blah day today. I was really wanting something sweet to eat or drink. I almost felt like just giving in and having a chocolate milkshake or a Pepsi. Thankfully my guy was there to help me stay focused.

Maybe I had a blah day because of the scale. I weigh myself everyday, but I only count Tuesdays as the offical weight. I have to admit it's amazing watching the scale going up and down everyday. Makes me wonder if it's working correctly. I know that I shouldn't check the scale everyday, but it's a bad habit of mine, and at least it's not a sugar filled cookie or cake.

Here is the third weekly weight update:

-1 lbs (-0.45kg)
Total amount since started: -6.6 lbs (-2.99kg)

Second Weekly Weight Update

It's now been 2 weeks since I started eating LCHF.  Two whole weeks without sugar, I would have never ever thought it was possible before.  It's been pretty easy so far, though there are times when I do feel a bit tired of making sure I eat enough fat.  There are also times when I just feel like oh just one bite of milk chocolate, well that was because everyone around me was eating Marabou Sensations (Marabou is a popular Swedish chocolate brand).  I thought about the carbs, and about if I cheat on the diet then it'll just adds more weeks to it.  Chocolate you yummy but evil  you!

So I'm still counting carbs, and trying to make sure I don't go over 20g of carbs a day.  The results are worth it, since I am starting to notice my clothes fitting differently.

Here is the second weekly weight update:

-2 lbs (-0.91kg)
 Total amount since started: -5.6 lbs (2.54kg)

First Weekly Weight Update!

It's been seven days of doing LCHF, and I have to say it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be.  I am eatting breakfast, dinner, and a snack inbetween.  I really don't feel that hungry inbetween the huge breakfast and dinner gap.  The first two days on the diet I noticed that by dinner time I'd get dizzy and felt a little strange, that's when I realized I must be hungry.  Thankfully the other days weren't like the first two.

There are times I have to force myself to eat.  We had a couple of really hot days when you just don't want to eat and if you did maybe some cold soba or a nice sub-sandwhich would be prefect.  I read that not taking enough calories with LCHF can actually make you not lose weight, your body will think it's starving and hold on to the weight.

Now it's time for my first weekly weight update. 

-3.6 lbs (-1.63kg)

That's -.6 lbs more than I did on one month of a normal workout and eat less diet.  The best part was that I wasn't starving myself.  I'm sure some will say it's water weight or something else, but most people doing LCHF do lose about half a pound to five pounds a week.  I can't wait to see what next week will be like!
