I have been doing Slimming World for two days, and I know it's too early to be anywhere near comfortable with it. Why am I not comfortable yet? Because of my brain which is never quiet, always overthinking and worrying too much. After being on Keto/Low Carb for several months, now not only am I allowed to eat foods that I wasn't allowed before. I also eat what feels to me like a gazillion of calories. I am not though. I tracked my calories for the last two days and I stayed below 1700 kcal which is actually less than I used to eat while doing Low Carb. But I used to eat a lot more fat which at 7 kcal per gram means a lot less food on the plate. Now my diet focusses on protein and carbs which at 3 kcal per gram leave me with lots of food. I am not complaining though. I looove food!! But it is a bit alien to me, being allowed to eat more and different. So I got on the scales this morning, expecting a gain. However, quite to my surprise, I lost! I lost 1.1kg (2.5lbs) in my first two days of following Slimming World ! All I have to do now is get my head around the newly found freedom. And maybe add a HEb to my daily food intake.. and maybe make friends with Syns such as carbs. Carbs and I are still on the warpath, and I don't think we will ever be friends. On a more negative note: lots of people on Instagram left but that was to be expected. It's just Instagram, right? I will post more updates soon! x

Dear all,
As some of you might have already seen, I have moved away from Keto a while ago and have found myself focussing more on calories counting and low carb. This has been fairly successful, but I am now going a step further, or maybe a step back or sideways.. I have no idea. Let me explain: My husband and I are on this weightloss journey together and he has been struggling with the whole low carb idea. He has not followed it at all which made my life a bit more complicated. I now came to the point where I have to rethink and restructure what we are doing, simply because he is eating an unhealthy combination of high carb and high fat. Inspired by my sister's weightloss with Slimming World - she has lost as much as I have but with a lot less effort and worry - I have now decided to join her with Slimming World. I have started a 3-months-trial and in January I will evaluate the progress and whether Slimming World is the right choice for me.. or us rather. Please understand, my husband's health is very important to me, as heart disease runs in his family and he is almost 40 years old. He needs to lose weight and I would and will do anything to make this easier for him. I will try to incorporate Low Carb with Slimming World - so let's see how this goes as I am sure it is a possible thing to do. If you are one of my Keto or Low Carb followers, and you do not agree, with my change of diet, then I'd fully understand if you leave my blog and/or Instagram. Thank you for following me until today and I wish you all the very best! I mean it! If you are doing Keto/Low Carb and stick with me, then thank you! At the end of the day, we are all trying to become healthy and lose weight, and how we do it should be our decision. And this decision hasn't been an easy one! But not only do I have to keep my health in mind but my husband's too. Thank you all for reading, and for your understanding. I do appreciate it. Love to you all and good luck with whatever your journey is x .. keeping this blog going, am I ??
Seriously, I should really add some more posts, not only recipes. I tend to cook the same all the time, so some reports of everyday life might be useful to keep you in the loop. I gained some weight during September, however considering that I went to Berlin and ate nothing but unhealthy stuff for a week, I am not too bothered by the gain. October will be better. I have a new goal: 3 stone until June 2018.. you know why? Because we are going to Mexico!!! So finger crossed ;) .. |
