Day 34. Net Carb Overdose Trilogy!

Do you want to know the good news or the bad news? Well I like to start with the bad news first because good news leaves a sweeter after taste.

So the Bad News is, I’ve eaten a tremendous amount of net carbs. The chocolate egg alone contained 70g of net carbs… shocking don’t you think!

The Good News, no more chocolate distractions left, therefore I cannot fly off the rails anymore ;o) Well I guess I still have a family splurge meal to attend, but still no more chocolate concerns.

This got me thinking too of my old eating habits, which you could say got me into my obese situation in the first place. This is a typical example of how weight can spiral out of control so quickly eating soooo many carbs.

Before I started Atkins I would have eaten so much bread, pasta, potatoes, rice etc and then I would have a nice desert to finish off (Mainly something chocolaty) And this would occur on a daily basis. No wonder I put on weight.

Keeping this log truly does reflect that keeping net carbs under control helps to reduce weight.
