No, cutting out all the "Vitamin" Water (which has about 150 calories per drink) and stopping eating when full (meaning before you've consumed too many calories) is what's causing the weight loss. There is no magic in deli meats with walnuts. I think that's all that some of the members wanted you to know. There's no mystery to losing weight on less calories, and less carbs are known to take off tons of water and fat too. Just recognize you can lose your weight on this diet or just by monitoring your calorie intake and eating a nice healthy satiating amount, but less than before and with healthier foods.
The bottom line is that if a structured diet like this is what it takes for you MLucky, then I really can't see the harm at all and I think you're doing a great job on it. Keep us posted! |
Hi Blancita,
I've analyzed the menu, and yes it's low in fat and carbs. My point is that it is not low calories being that calories is dependent on serving size more or less. Therefore the eating till you feel full part is not much of an indication of how many calories you have eaten.
'Full' is such a loosely defined word, and varies too widely to constitute any restriction on caloric intake.
With the constant reference to deli meat and walnuts I'm inclined to assume that you're poking fun at the diet
, there are other food available such as shrimps, fish etc.
With that said, I have to agree with MLuckyb85 that having a structured diet to follow is not really a bad thing. I for one would rather have my brain cells working on planning a romantic evening with a special someone than spraining a cerebral cortex planning out my weight loss.
