Getting Healthy - The Beginning 02.01.14 Official Start Date

By Mark

And we're off.... We have completed our official weigh in and measurements on Saturday, February 01. Both Tara and I are following Phase One of the Adkin's Low Carb Nutritional Plan until we reach within 15 pounds of our goal weight. We try to eat four times a day plus two snack times. We allow ourselves between 20 - 25 net carbs per day. Phase One allows our body metabolism to reverse the trend of storing bad carbs as body fat into burning this stored fat. Results after one week: Tara has lost a fantastic 12 pounds... I've lost 9 pounds... Tara has worked out three times a week at Fitness one. I've yet to start working out. I'm not working out or two reasons; 1.) I have not set the time aside because my extra time available has been working on improving our finances and 2.) I am expecting my weight lose to diminish at some point in the next two to three months. I plan on restarting the fat burning with exercise. By the time we reach Phase Four, we should have changed our eating habits to only consume the net carbs to maintain our goal weight range which will be within 5 pound average of our goal weight. This will be a life time commitment !!!
