How to eat Low Carb - Lifestyle Diet

Let's get back on the subject of losing weight. If you were like me I used to weigh 190 lbs and stayed that way for 4 years after I had my first child. I tried diets such as the cabbage diet, and another diet I saw on Oprah that was still packed with carbs - no wonder the cravings never went away.


It wasn't till I met a girl at my work, who tried a lifestyle diet called Atkins. I've been using it's principle with a little bit of my own for about 2 years now and have been able to maintain a weight of 155-160. It's not my goal weight because I didn't take it far enough and kinda lacked a little bit of motivation - I figured it was my little plateau. My goal weight is actually and ideally 130lbs. I'm only 5'1 inches tall so that would be a good size for me. I'm actually using my reason of becoming a Zumba workout class instructor my motivation for that. Hey, I have the energy and the moves but I'd prefer to look the part too;)


I would like to help yawl along in to losing weight like I did so you can increase the quality of your lives. I cooked up a little somethin' somethin' for lunch as a low carb alternative so you can have an idea on how to eat in a better way so you can lose weight easier as you work out. Oh yeah, and exercise is non-negotiable, it will not only speed up your weight loss, but it's really great for your body in reducing major health risks, and you'll be happier and feel less stressed out. Make sure you get an ipod - I mean ...who doesn't love music??? Get some great tunes on your ipod to keep you motivated as you're working out.


Here are step by step photos of a dish I cooked called: Chicken a la veggie











So don't be afraid of taking on a lower carb eating lifestyle change - It's healthy. You'll eat more vegetables, nutrient rich fruits , and healthy proteins. Try to aim for lower fat, lower carb and you'll be on the way so a sexier, hotter, and more confident you;) Watch out world because here you come!
