I did the south beach diet (to go from 190 to 160, and most importantly, a 32 inch waste again) and found that I no longer desired junk foor, fast food, and sweets. My body, mouth, and mind had become so acustomed to not having high carbs and sweets that it kind of just "turned off" its desire for them. People who dont diet well think that if they go without those goodies for weeks or months, that one day they will binge and go crazy. In your case, you might. Stopping by to have "just one little meal" at burger king while trying to diet will keep the 'taste' of high carbs and sugars on your brain and body. You will never lose a desire for them fully until you go cold turkey on them. Once you hit your goal wieght, THEN and only then can you feel free to "induldge every other week or so for a Burger King meal, for example. Jerky is a good snack, but in moderation. You are doing well to have some light snacks between breakfast and lunch. It helps big time. Think of it this way. You are in college, Your girlfriend of 2 years breaks up with you. Yet, every week or so she comes by your place to hold hands and make out. You will never get over her that way. Now, if she moved to Alaska (assuming you dont live there) and had no computer and cell phone and gave no address to anyone, you would likely get over her in about a month. Carbs are that girl :) 700145@blogcritics.org Thu, 6 Mar 2008 10:36:20 EST
