196- 2 lbs this week. Woo Hoo! Back on track! As I mentioned in previous entries, I have been tracking my Carbs/Proteins/Fats- I definitely believe there is a correlation to this ratio and weight loss. I have been on a mission. That is probably understating my mission. I am a person that hates the unknown- I need answers, NOW, damn it. So along with my needing knowledge, I am excessively impatient. Great combination, huh? Well, for me, yes, cause I am optimistic I will find the answers, and it keeps me going. I bought a book yesterday, “The Metabolic Typing Diet” , and spent hours reading, and taking a test to identify my type. It’s something I have been researching for years. Does anyone remember “Eat Right For Your Blood Type”? I have been writing about increasing my protein, over my carbs and if this book is correct, so am I. I am a Protein Type. I am to eat higher amounts of proteins and good fats, and lower amounts of carbs. The reason being, I metabolize thru carbs way to quickly, causing additional hunger and cravings. It all makes complete sense to me. I tried it the other day(see my blog entry) and my weight had been stagnant. Two days later, I dropped 2 lbs. I might be onto to something. It’s a great book. It really talks about individuality, and that no one program will work for everyone. Even with their program, he highly recommends listening to your body. I have to find the right balance for me. So , I will continue on my journey- feeling much better having seen a 2 lb weight loss. I am going to give this metabolic way a chance, and see if I notice a change in not only weight loss, but my emotional and physical state. I have been lethargic and wonder if it’s from lack of significant protein. Stay tuned for new discoveries………..
