No more doubt about carbs making the difference. My calories have been 1100-1300 but my carbs have been 120-130. The scale has not moved downward, but upward. Up a pound down a pound because of the carbs, but this morning it was up 2. With all the rehab exercise one would think I could get away with more carbs, as they are healthy carbs, so to speak. But to be honest, a few tortilla chips, 3 tablespoons of trail mix (with sugar in it) --
Well, there you have it. I'm being too lenient. Even though I measure and count (9 tortilla chips -- 3 T. trail mix) It creates a feeling of huge disappointment when I get up and the scale is up two whole pounds, and "weigh day" is coming.
From experience I know that no-carb ketosis makes me feel really grouchy, especially when my body is having to convert ketones to energy for exercise.
The task is how many carbs are necessary to keep my disposition intact, and not block weight loss. The Atkins magic number for level 4 has always been 80, I believe.
So let's see how I do with calories under 1200 and carbs under 80. If the scale moves in the right direction, fine If not I'll drop to 1100 & 70, 1000 & 60 etc., until I reach my goal.
Of course, knowing myself as I do, I'll probably go right for the lowest number possible and still stay upright without kicking the dogs.
Slow, steady, moderation . . . these words are foreign to me. Which is why I have not been able to lose all the weight I regained years ago. wHICH BRINGS ME TO A HUGE REVELATION:
REGAINING 50, 60, 90 POUNDS --- AFTER LOSING 100 AND KEEPING IT OFF FOR 9 rather it seems to me now GLORIOUS years, is so disappointing I have not been able to forgive myself. I must stop that at once.
