FOURTH WEEK ON GLYCEMIC INDEX
OMG !!! For Week 4, scale is down 2.7 lbs.
BUT before I get TOO excited, Week 3 I had lost nothing. Zero. Zilch. Nada. So the loss of 2.7 lbs. is really for 2 weeks.
After 4 weeks, my loss is about 5 l/2 lbs. Still have 4 l/2 to go to meet my goal--and only 2 l/2 more weeks before May 31. So I really have my work cut out for me!
Besides sticking to low GI fare, here are some other factors that have helped me do well:
1) training to eat 3 meals a day with minimal snacking inbetween.
2) increasing protein. With bread, bagels, and crackers on my BANNED LIST, I replaced those calories with protein. Really helped.
3) added fiber. Tried taking 1,000 mg. of Glucomannan with at least 12 ounces of water about an hour before meals. "G" swells in the stomach, giving a feeling of being "half full" already when I start eating.
