Losing Weight with Starscream

[dannysguitar]

I started my lifestyle change in late July of 2008. To date I have lost over 40 lbs (the scale at the doctor maxed out at 350, I weight 310 now) with minimal excersize. Low carb is the way to go, I can eat until I'm full and have steak and eggs for breakfast everyday! In n Out and Carls Jr. has been a Godsend! The one thing I miss about my lifestyle is SUSHI! As far as alcohol goes, after the 1st 2 weeks, I drink all the wine/whiskey/lite beer I can handle!

BTW when I first started, my liver was enlarged and my enzyme count was high. After 3 months my liver counts are back to normal.

Isn't beer/wine/whiskey filled w/ sugars, which turn into carbs? I like some alcohol, but it's been my downfall for a while now.
Congrats on the 40lbs dropped!

Well beer has sugar/carbs, but Bud Select has 3, Ultra has 2.6, Miller Lite has 3.7. So its a balance. Hard alcohol that is not a liqueor (sp) has almost zero carbs but your body does use the alcohol for energy before any fat is used. So it slows down the weight loss but your body will get back on track. Ohh, and wine has trace amounts of sugar. You would think because its sweet it would have sugar but all of the sugar from the grape juice has fermented and is no longer sugar. Its weird how it works....

Dinner: Lemon pepper chicken, mashed potatoes (skinny), wild rice, and black-eyed peas.

Snacked on a couple handfulls of popcorn, some garlic herb wheat thins, and a few Light Lays chips.
Can't wait to check the scale on Monday.

Lunch = Beef Enchiladas
Supper = Sushi
Snacks = peanut butter on a whole wheat tortilla, some deer jerky

Did some more moving stuff around and my personal workout didn't pan out too much. I also need to work on my portions. I just love eating.
