My Low Carb Diet

So recently my job changed my schedule and I had to start working overnight. It was very difficult to stay up, so I loaded up on carbs to help gain a zap of energy. I would have soda, milk chocolate candies and any sugar laden item I could put my hands on. Then, the holidays came around. I had parties at work and parties at home. At that time, I was on a cupcake diet - I made cupcakes for almost every occasion! Needless to say, I eventually came back to the 5'2, 165 pounds I once was.

As a result, I started to change my "eating lifestyle" (once again) just 25 days ago. Back in 2004, the low carb diet helped me tremendously but I didn't think it was safe to stay on the diet for an extended period of time. Not only did I think it was unsafe, but I've been living my life as a vegan, a vegetarian, and most recently, as a pescatarian - all of which has tons of carbs. Now, there's a new low carb diet called "The Paleo Diet", which just seems like a repackaged "Atkin's Diet" from my initial observations.

Since the low carb diet was previously instrumental in my weight loss success, I decided to develop my own version. The diet I'm now on is simply called "My Low Carb Diet". The name derived from a combination of MY experiences, MY eating habits, and things that have worked for ME. Maybe, just maybe, My Low Carb Diet can be Your Low Carb Diet.

On My Low Carb Diet, I incorporate a lot of fruits. On the contrary, fruits seem to be taboo on the Atkins and Paleo Diets. I've been keeping a record of my food in-take, exercises, and weight under My Low Carb Diet and will begin sharing my results with you over time.
