Hi Denis, What do you mean by 50/50?
I am now half way through week 2 and really enjoying the 10 week programme. I like the way one is not instructed what to do, but given choices of possible actions. It fits in with my rebellious side! By simply aiming to be aware of how much carb I am eating, I seem to be keen to try and eat less. If I was told I had to eat less, I would feel deprived and possibly eat more.
I am finding it very helpful coming on here also. Having spent decades trying and failing at all sorts of diets, somehow I have a different motivation now. I have always felt reasonably fit and healthy as I run regularly, and still do; my motivation in the past to change the way I eat has been to do with wanting to wear different clothes and run faster. Now I know my body actually is not in good shape and if I continue as I am, I will have all sorts of horrible problems, it is time to change my diet. And coming from that mindset, it actually feels easy to avoid carbs and decline all the high carb food that comes my way. I always thought that I needed to change my mindset not just what I ate that would make a difference.
