I'm on day eight of a strict No Carb Diet. Trust me. I want carbs so bad I can't see straight. I'm talking about an endless stack of pancakes...a burger with patties stacked to the ceiling...yeah....I'm hurting. So what do I see on BuzzFeed? The following. Go there to see the whole list...
 |
| Bacon, Egg, and Cheese Eggo Waffle Sandwich |
 |
| Mac and Cheese Burger |
 |
| Spaghetti Tacos |
 |
| Double Bacon Cheeseburger with Grilled Cheese Buns |
WHY did you have to show those sandwich's to me??? WHY???? I was doing JUST FINE till I saw those!!!!!!!
ReplyDeletefeel my pain! but you got your revenge cause you brought me right back to this page to see all that yum yum once again.
Deletei know it seems tough right now but it does get much easier. I am not saying that the cravings do not go away, that is a pipe-dream. BUT the implications of forcing yourself to eat more veggies and fruits as your source of carbohydrates is a much healthier alternative. If I may be so bold as to recommend a book, this is what i am currently doing. Though is sounds insane at first it is actually much easier to stick to than the conventional "diet" or quick fix. Take the change as a challenge, not as a restriction. Rather than saying "I cant have carbs (or beer, candy, love, puppies, or all around sense of happiness)" trying telling yourself "I choose not to/ I choose to" this will help you stick to it. Lastly, take a day to yourself, there is a lot of science that much smarter people than me can expand on that proves a "Cheat Day" (i.e. weekly birthday binge-fest) actually helps you stick to a lifestyle change for a longer period of time, for reasons such as, oh i dont know sanity. Which brings me back to my recommended book: "Engineering the Alpha: Man 2.0" its a pretty good read. Good Luck and God Speed!
ReplyDeletethanks...i'll definitely be giving that book a read. still want those pancakes though. damn!!!!!!
DeleteI know every recipe that was linked to this post has been logged and will be consumed on my first cheat day
