Trying to improve my health one day at a time. Doing a ketogenic diet, low carb diet. Losing weight over the age of 50 is not easy or fun but we'll all be healthier when we get there!

"Inside some of us is a thin person struggling to get out, but they can usually be sedated with a few pieces of chocolate cake." ! Anonymous
That used to be me... but I am now committing to losing it... no longer can the thin person be sedated... in fact, once she arrives she might be a force to be reckoned with after years in the pantry!
It is offensive to me that many people think overweight people do nothing but eat one goodie and another... I literally have nothing to eat in my refrigerator except eggs. I don't have cupboards full of bon bons... I don't order jumbo pizzas (or any for that matter) and eat them by myself. I don't hoard cookies. I don't eat breakfast, and often don't eat dinner... yet my thin friends eat constantly.
This started out to be my journal to record my journey on Medi Weight Loss Clinic's program - I lost 50 pounds on that program in 4 months... it all came back rapidly when I tried to eat "normal" - as in eating fruits and more carbs...the Dr told me it would but I thought I had it figured out. He told me I probably couldn't go over 1,400 calories a day... surely not! He was right.

Now I'm doing it all over again......without joining Medi Weight Loss - I know what to do without spending over $100 a week.

The Leptin Diet Rule
Never Snack
Never eat after dinner
Allow 5 - 6 hours between meals
Allow 11 - 12 hours from the time to stop eating dinner to the time you eat breakfast
Snacking - despite how few calories you eat, stops the fat burning
Do not eat large meals, finish a meal before you feel full - consistently eating large meals will turn off the leptin burning
Eat a breakfast containing protein...and make it very low carb - it will be the equivalent of a 2 -3 mile jog
If you are unable to make it 5 hours until lunch ... you had a bad breakfast - the good breakfast keeps you stable during the day.
If you snack, you will find yourself circling the refrigerator and will start looking for carbs like a wild animal.
50 -50 technique - 4 - 6 oz of protein for women and the same amount of carbs
If you feel you need more food, take fiber before you eat
When you eat is as important as what you eat
