2nd Try - Help - I had tried SBD and lost 0 lbs!
Hi,
Though discouraged, because on my first tried I failed, I’d like to
try the SBD again. When I started the diet on my first try, I was
very hopeful, I endured horrible cravings and except a few
adjustments (I’ll ask your advice on that) I followed it to the
letter, so I expected some results. After week one I had lost 0,
after week 2 I had lost 0… I went on to Phase II and after a week
on that I had lost.., you guessed: 0!
I gave up and have been struggling ever since with my own version of
the diet, and I managed to gain 5 lbs! (I wanted to cry!)
I’m not sure what I did wrong. I re-read the book and also just
bought and started to read the Good Carbs, Good Fats pocketguide,
and I now have renewed energy and motivation to start over, WITH
YOUR HELP, GOD BLESS Y’ALL…
PLEASE HELP ME, with the following:
These are the things that the book said that I didn’t do:
- I didn’t always had the mid am snack
- I didn’t always add veggies or meat to breakfast, but always eggs
(sometimes 2 or even 3)
- I didn’t always drink 8 glass of water, but close to.
These are the things that I did, that the book said I shouldn’t:
- I had low fat milk with my coffee, 3 times a day
- I ate quite a lot of nuts (didn’t really restrict the portions)
- I ate some low fat and also full fat cheeses, in moderation
These are the things that I wasn’t clear about:
- Could I have lunchmeat (ham, turkey, prosciutto, provolone,
mozzarella?)
- Do I have to restrict the portions of every meal, or should eat
until I’m satisfied?
- I used extra virgin olive oil liberally.
I really, really appreciate your help. If you could please give me
advice on the things I mention above. Thanks!
