So after researching the Atkins diet and trying to implement its "20 carb a day" rule since last week, I have realized something. All I eat are carbs.
It is time for an intervention. When I look back on how I have eaten for the past year or two, aka, when I put on the 50+ pounds, two things stand out in my diet: carbs & sweets... the two worst things to eat when you don't want to gain weight. :(
Yesterday I went through all of the food in my cabinets and refrigerator and threw away or donated everything that didn't fit into my new diet plan. It was actually quite refreshing and it feels great to be able to donate two full boxes worth of items to those who many not have as much.
Speaking of new diet, I have tried two of the Atkins frozen meals and OH EM GEE they are so good. I was completely shocked because the first one I tried was chicken broccoli alfredo (without pasta), which was surprisingly satisfying.
The next one I tried was the crustless chicken pot pie. It was literally as good as the regular! They added cauliflower to the dish which really set it apart. It honestly shocked me that not only did I enjoy the cauliflower in the meal, but I actually loved it as a replacement for pasta. I didn't find myself missing the pasta aka carbs in either dish.
