Diet Change Up
I decided to alter my diet. I've been doing low carb off and on for more than a year. I would get to a certain weight and just stop. It's like my body got comfortable and said I'm done. I know I'm not done with my weight loss so I started researching different diets as the one I've always used had me stalled. I didn't seem to be stalled long as of 3 weeks ago but I could see the signs. So I came across the Johnson up day down day diet. You count calories which I've always hated, but it's different. One day you have around 2400 calories and then the next day you have 500, and repeat. 500 is a small amount but those are the days you lose weight. On the high calorie days you make those 500 calorie days easier. It makes it so it keeps your body guessing. Your body doesn't think ohhhh I'm down in calories so I'm going to slow down my metabolism to match what I'm taking in. Since your taking in different amounts each day it doesn't allow your body to get comfortable. I'm loving it. I don't have to "diet" everyday and I feel really good doing it. I'm losing at a slower pace but that's ok and healthy. It's something I can see myself doing long term. If I'm not explaining this in enough detail you can google it.
