OK MTP... I don't recommend HCG unless you are hardcore about it and it doesn't sound like you would be able to dedicate yourself as needed. I lost 55lbs and have kept 50lbs of it off... I haven't dieted since November. I still feel like I could stand to lose another 40 lbs or so, but I am going to do it without a diet. I contemplated doing another round, but I loss muscle as well as fat and HAIR (which freaked me out). The main reason however, is I decided I don’t want my daughter to see me dieting anymore. I do not want her to develop food issues.
I took a fitness class this semester at our area community college which requires me to work out for 1hr and 20 mins twice a week. I knew if there was a grade involved I would stick with it. I am a binger and haven’t been great about controlling my intake, but I have to give myself some credit for at least balancing it with physical exertion. I am making an effort to only have carbs that are low glycemic, high fiber etc. I literally ridded the house of any white sugar, flour etc. I do not buy processed foods… not even yogurt or flour… I make my own. I try to eat 60% raw at every meal… including breakfast. If I do not think I will have time to eat I bring a protein shake with me into which I add berries, mint, and spinach. Or as Limey suggests I bring veggies and fruit chopped up to snack on. Raw food is the original fast food.
Don’t get me wrong I pig out from time to time, but not in my home… which helps me limit that behavior.
I am trying to pick my P90X up again… if you would like to make a copy PM me or Flint. Here is my favorite workout… it requires no gym and it will kick your ass.
