I have decided to up my bites by 1 bite each day for this next week. Been doing some Reading in the Maintenance Forums on 3 Fat Chicks, and some poeple notice that they maintain on a lower amount of calories AND sometimes on a little bit higher too, they maintain the exact amount of weight ect. So I am expereminting to see how it affects my wieght, to add a bit more food. Of course, I am doing it very very very slowly, just one bite this week added to each day.
If I dont like it, then I can go back to what I was doing the next week. Its an Experemint-of-One.
I had major detox symptoms after trying to eat 3 Tablespoons of Wheat grass a day. I am trying to find a green powder that I can start small and work up slowly that I wont have side effects with
I recieved 2 Readers Digests and they were the wrong ones, so I have almost given up on finding the other bite counting article!

Questions and Comments are Welcome!
Do you count calories or just bites? How do you keep up the motivation? I usually find I can count bites and stay under 80 for a couple days, then I go crazy, and lose count then get off track and think maybe I should go back to calorie counting. Then I get frustrated, and think I should go back to bite counting. Do you have a link to the forum for the 3 fat chicks? Keep up the site and the good work, you are great for inspiration.
ReplyDeletemysavingstyle- everyone is different on what works for them. Bite counting works for me. I count bites. Sometimes I might look at the calorie count to decide how much to put in a bite, but I count bites, not calories as a rule 90% of the time!
