Phase 2: Scared To Add Carbs!
| Sat, 01-24-2004 - 2:39pm |
Hi everyone. I am on Phase 2 (since Tuesday) and I am totally scared to add the good carbs back into my diet. I am worried that as a result I am eating more than I was on Phase 1 (for example, I've been having 2 snacks after dinner: strawberries & peanut butter and then the ricotta dessert). Is anyone else scared to add the carbs and if so, what are you doing? I am really worried that I'm screwing up my metabolism! Thanks in advance for any advice you can give!

The journal is a good idea because it gives you an idea of you like or don't like and also what your trigger foods might be. Sugar in any form is my trigger. Fruits don't satisfy me as much as veggies do. I'm usually hungry right after eating fruit. I still enjoy them as a snack. But if I'm really hungry and want something to satisfy my hunger I always choose veggies first. For some people starches are their trigger. Even brown rice or whole wheat pasta might trigger some people. So just start slow and pay attention to what your adding and how it makes your feel. You'll be fine. I hope this helped a little.
