Focusing on high-protein foods makes keeping calories low so easy... And when you think of it, it makes sense, since all the things that are so easy to overeat ARE carby and rather high in calories: cereal, crackers, juice, etc. I know that most recommendations for a low-carb diet say not to not count calories, just to keep the carbohydrate count within a certain range. But I think many people go about it the wrong way. (But true, lose a lot of water weight quickly, which is what happens when the body metabolizes a large amount of protein.) Not only eating just too MUCH meat at meals, but snacking on cheese and eggs and lunchmeat, and things like that all day long. Then what happens when the diet ends? The appetite hasn't been changed at all. In my feeling that would make it so much easier to put the weight back on, even if on a plan like the Dukan Diet where the carby things are introduced gradually and in a heathy way. I would much rather learn to control my appetite and eat at mealtimes.
I know I could eat more than this and probably be okay, but there isn't much I want right now and I'm not going to work out tonight. Tomorrow should be another 1000-something calorie day.
Went to Sam's Club (one of those warehouse stock-up stores) and got a supply of canned salmon, frozen salmon fillets, cooked chicken, shrimp, eggs, herbal tea, and vegetable juice. I also found these packets of vitamins from GNC that look pretty amazing. I've been neglecting taking a vitamin for a while now so I feel better now that I'll get back into that habit.
