As of yesterday I started doing the GI diet/lifestyle. When I ate my dinner on Wednesday night, I had a very hard time swallowing down my food. I had a tuna salad with green lettuce and baby spinach. The tuna was made with a bit more mayo than I would have normally made it because of LCHF.

I wasn't sure what to do with my hives, and if my diet was causing my body to have a bad reaction or lower immune system. So I decided to look for another alternative diet. I thought maybe the GI diet could be something I try (look at my previous post about Other Low Carb Diets).

I thought it was shingles at first, and after a week it did go away with ugly marks. But this past Sunday I noticed red little itching and burning bumps began to appear on my upper thighs and arms.

It's just two days away from exactly a month of no sugar, and only 20g of carbs a day. This diet/lifestyle is pretty successful in weightloss terms. I'm really shocked that I was able to lose the amount of weight I did without starving myself. I'm sure after four weeks it's not considered losing water Calihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16120581771383379333noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5830831971050176782.post-69914190157407174522011-07-22T15:26:00.003+02:002011-07-29T14:08:41.282+02:00Hard to lose weight? by Annika DahlqvistHard to lose weight?

It was really good, but I didn't follow the recipe exactly, I put a little more onions and more crushed tomatoes then it said. I did make two lasagnas, one for me, and a normal one for my guy.

So far it's been good, but I had a blah day today. I was really wanting something sweet to eat or drink. I almost felt like just giving in and having a chocolate milkshake or a Pepsi. Thankfully my guy was there to help me stay focused.
Maybe I had a blah day because of the scale.

I guess it comes from eating alot of dairy based products such as cheese, creme and yoghurt. I used to hate the after taste and smell of my breath after drinking milk or having something dairy. Well now I get to have it almost every time after I eat.

Mayonaise - ALOT
Ketchup - a couple of drops for flavor (ketchup has a lot of carbs even the less sugar and salt ones)
Mustard - a couple of drops for flavor (Swedish mustard tends to be on the sweeter side)
You can use the lettuce leaves to wrap up the burger to hold it, or use a fork and knife to eat it.

It's easy to avoid the temptation of snacking when you're alone, but when you have guests over or your dearest is snacking next to you it becomes tempting.
Luckly there are some things you can snack on and feel pretty guilt free while on LCHF. For example :
Beef Jerky or any type of jerky - make sure it's low in sugar, or Calihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16120581771383379333noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5830831971050176782.post-56883832404595079562011-07-15T16:22:00.000+02:002011-07-29T14:09:58.040+02:00A little bit of exercise and LCHFWhen I started doing LCHF I wasn't exercising. I've read some blogs of people doing LCHF and exercising, and those people tend to lose alot more weight per month than people who aren't exercising regularly.
Three weeks ago I hurt my ankles, they were purple and swollen for a good two weeks. I had to stop doing my little workouts I began this year.

I haven't drank any green tea since I started LCHF, since I usually drink it with a sweet or salty snack of some sort. The snacks are usually something carb based, and well that's history now.
I don't munch with LCHF or get to really have desserts, I tend to drink coffee with heavy cream with Calihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16120581771383379333noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5830831971050176782.post-32681071843606947712011-07-14T13:12:00.000+02:002011-07-29T14:09:58.041+02:00LCHF Müesli

Two whole weeks without sugar, I would have never ever thought it was possible before. It's been pretty easy so far, though there are times when I do feel a bit tired of making sure I eat enough fat.

But I've ran into quite a few Swedish LCHF recipes that use sugar substitutes. A friend of mine last week had a bottle of Fanta Free Orange, so I gave it a try and it tasted strange. It made my mouth feel heavy and had a very awkward sweet and fake taste.

Then as soon as I finished eatting them I realized that I am doing LCHF and I can't have flour or breads. Talk about an evil tease.

I am eatting breakfast, dinner, and a snack inbetween. I really don't feel that hungry inbetween the huge breakfast and dinner gap.

I drink coffee only a handful of times a year, and it's usually made candy sweet (as my man refers to the way I drink coffee). Coffee in Sweden is made viking tough, which is thick and strong. No sissy coffee drinking here in Sweden.

Tonight we ate grilled pork, spanish chorizo sausages, halloumi cheese, with my homemade mashed cauliflower, and bernaise sauce. Then for dessert I had some LCHF chocolate ice Calihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16120581771383379333noreply@blogger.com0
