[QUOTE="Winnie53, post: 1464518, member: 160246"] You're right of course. The first time I did it was in 2011, the second time 2015. Coming off a high carb diet is crazy making. It's really hard, takes time and a lot of determination. It's much easier when you're only eating 50 carbs a day. What I didn't know then, but do know now is eating foods that contain fat really helps. And I should have added, leafy greens with raw vegetables topped with a vinagrette helps too. Fat and fiber combined help. Another trick is to eat something sour, a pickle perhaps. In 2015, the cravings were so bad, I had to keep a box of 9 peanut butter cookies in the freezer for those moments when it got so bad, I had to have something. That's what got me through those early weeks. Months later, threw the box away. I think it still had 4 or 5 cookies in it. I think it was my second box. I really like your strategy of first counting the carbs that you're currently eating. I can see how that would be really helpful. To got from hundreds of carbs to fifty carbs is a huge change. It's important to have that validation. It's hard. [/QUOTE]
