It's been a long annoying day at work. I've been reading my aunt's book called "The Cheat to Lose Diet" and I'm at once irritated and interested. The book explains an odd phenomena that I have experienced multiple times. Often when I'm sticking to my diet I see no result for several weeks and then I have a day where I eat terribly and suddenly my body drops 3-5lbs. This phenomena pisses me off and the book explains that it has to do with a hormone called leptin. Basically our bodies have an abundance of the hormone but like those who are insulin resistant, our bodies don't recognize it readily. The cheat to lose diet is supposed to re-tune our bodies to acknowledging and using this hormone. But I'm frustrated with this whole approach because I'm already looking at some recipes and knowing I won't be able to work them into my everyday diet easily. I also know that it's going to be annoying as hell doing the low carb phase...really any phase that doesn't allow me to eat fruit. I eat really healthy according to the food pyramid. My boyfriend says as much...but he also let me know that I eat A LOT. Which basically makes me go FUCK YOU to everything. I go from not wanting to eat anything to eating everything in sight, all because of emotions I'm trying to contain. I got so stressed out at work today that I ended up throwing up the little bullshit I did eat today. My weight isn't budging and my aunt says I need a shock to my system to kick start it into weight loss. This makes some sense, but why does my healthy-ish eating habits have to NOT help me.
I don't particularly want to do this diet, because I'm worried that the 3 week prep phase is going to be a waste of time and I don't want to waste 3 weeks. I also don't want to sit and count carbs and make out menus for myself that won't allow me the flexibility that I have with eating lots of fruit and snacky things as I run around like a moron at work. I can't even type right now. But there's your tiny update.
