Hi Lisa,
Been there, doing that now. It does help, but I'm having trouble with dizziness from lack of carbs. I have been following the Carbohydrates Addict Diet which is more lienient. It allows carbs at one (reward) meal as long as the portions are even protein, vegetables, carbs (in size), plate divided into three equal sections. I have also recently read the Glucose Revolution which discusses satiety of foods. What I have done is began eating my salad at lunch with a piece of pumpernickel bread (high satiety) and I'm doing better because meals are 5-7 hours apart, unfortunately. Breakfast usually consists of fake eggs with spinach, canadian bacon, veggies, etc.
I've been on it about 3 weeks, have lost 12 lbs. and I've been holding for about 4-5 days now (plateau time). I know how you feel about the loss of carbs, however, the swelling in my body has been reduced DRAMATICALLY! I can remove my ring now,no swollen ankles at night, and muscles are recovering quicker from my usual stupidity of overexertion. Take Care, John
