So I have been absent for a while but have had a lot to deal with so I went into hiding. But I am back...
As you know I have been going to Curves and I have decided to do their diet and see how I go. They have the two options one higher carb and one higher protein. So I am going the higher protein option as this works for me and I dont feel as hungry either.
So the way they have set it up is you do a week of 1200 calories based on their menu or exchange tables, then 23 days of 1800 calories followed by two to four weeks of 2000 to 2500 calories. If in the final stage you put on more than 1.5kg you go back to the 1200 calories until you lose it again and then go back to 2000 to 2500. The theory behind it is by the time you lose the weight you want to lose your body is use to burning the higher amount of calories and you are not stuck on a low calorie diet for the rest of your life. In this you can also eat as many of the free items they have listed as you like i.e salad, veges etc.
I like the theory behind the way it works and the fact that it changes and you get to eat a variety of things. Plus after the thirty days you go back to normal eating for a couple of weeks. So I have started it today with the 1200 calories and we will see how we go.
I have been very slack since I started this whole thing but it needs to happen now more than ever.
And she's back in the game. I think there's a good theory behind it for sure. Good luck hun. Back on the wagon. Tell us everything. ;)
