I have made an attempt to stick to at least one of my New Year’s resolutions: weight loss. I went from 117 pounds to 126 pounds within two months. Sad about the fact that I had gained 9 pounds over the holiday seasons, I decided it was time to diet. Whenever I get over 125 pounds, I tend to get over emotional and moody. My poor boyfriend, unfortunately, was victim to my weight gain rage. After whining to him, he decided he would help and support me on my weight loss goals. He even found a diet for me to try. This is my first attempt at an actual strict “diet”.
The diet he found for me to try is a “slow carb diet“, which means no white carbs. At first I was skeptical and upset at the idea of missing out on my favorite carbohydrate-heavy food. But when I tried to put on my jeans and they felt much too tight, I decided it was worth a shot.
The diet consists of mostly eating legumes, vegetables, and some type of protein. Being a huge fan on Latin food, black beans are what keeps me going on this diet. I mostly do egg whites as my protein. I haven’t stuck completely with this diet, but follow it as a guideline.
In less than a week, I had lost 3 pounds. I only worked out twice during that week. I had even cheated a few times and bought a bag of Cheez-its from the vending machine and had coffee with milk every morning. Plus, on my day off, I got to enjoy all the fattening food I wanted! That day I consumed: a reduced-fat chocolate chip banana bread and skinny vanilla latte from Starbucks, a chocolate-filled croissant, a WHOLE bag of Cheetos, popcorn chicken, a crabcake, chips and shrimp queso, egg rolls, and a long island iced tea. I felt so sick, I was actually glad the day was over.
