It’s been three days in a row that I woke up before 5 a.m. I did could have go back to bed and have another nap but I didn’t want to. Things are on my mind. And it’s 1st July.
It’s always like this…
The 1st of whatever, Mondays, 1st days of the month, 1st day of the year. You feel like you have to make a change, a restart. Right now, I like to change my diet.
Since the COVID-19 began, I have been slowly and slowly putting on weight. I would very much like to go back to the body I know, which is at least 10 kilos minus.
As I love to cook and to try, it’s never easy for me to lose weight, not to mention now I have two kids, which means carbs and sweets would always be within the reach distance. I’m not saying here that carbs is the devil, but in order to lose weight (specially fat), you have to keep the carbs down. It’s just my personal experience. Look back when I first came to Iceland, I weight almost as much I do today. I successfully lose 10 kilos by keeping carbs and added sugar at bay! I hardly ate any bread and pasta at that time, and NEVER chocolate or ice-cream.
The reason I like to change the diet now is because my husband was diagnosis type 2 diabetes. So we have to act on that before it’s too late. Therefore I’m thinking why not do a low carbs high fat together?
It would not be easy, but being healthy is much more important than anything else.
I’ve been reading this book recently. It’s not as strict as ketosis diet, where no fruit and starchy vegetables are allowed. It’s much more adaptable, yet could be a good start kicker.
So let’s embrace the LCHF lifestyle from today!
