Big Boys Need Love Too!

as long as you don't do it past the point where your body doesn't have enough fat to maintain energy levels then there's no danger. people doing low carb diets tend to eat more fatty diets as a result to provide the energy the body needs... that's why people can continue doing things like atkins after they've lost weight. the reason vlcds involve going up plans once your bmi reaches a certain level is that once your fat stores are depleted, if you are eating a calorie and carb controlled diet then you will basically starve... so yes. it is a mild form of starvation. not a healthy thing to do unless you make sure you get all your vitamins and minerals for good health. that's why people who misuse low carb diets and basically live on cheese and high fat products get slated. if you eat lots of veg on a low carb diet you get all the nutrients that cutting out most fruit gets rid of... if any of that makes sense?

[elle2585]

yeah, me, i am having an annoying day at work, i'm tired and it's too hot in the office. ah well. so i've spent the last 5 minutes working out my calorie intake for the day. Turns out that so far i've had 600 cals exactly, which is pretty good methinks. p.s. i think that calorie should be spelt calory unless it's in the plural form haha. maybe i should contact the OUP get them to change it x

 

[Taz]

The Tazster is still here!

 

[Gemstone]

I'm here abz but not for long cos I have to go again soon. Lots to do x

 

[Gemstone]

Hi there elle. What's anoying you at work then, just being there? Dictionary modification is an admirable profession I've heard. Are you missing them sparkly shoes? x

 

[elle2585]

haha gem spot on. just being here has got on my nerves haha... it's just a bit stuffy in here, ive got an insect bite itching like crazy on my hand, not entirely sure what bit me but its on my palm next to my thumb and its making it hurt when i write which is ANNOYING. and my glasses are irritating the bit where they rest behind my ears, which is unusual. and my leg hurts. and ive been sat down in the same place for ages. hahahaha shall i go on? i'm just being a moaner. only 2 hrs left though, yay. how's everyone elses day going? any sun in wiltshire, leeds or norwich? we havent heard from jenn today have we. x

 

[Gemstone]

There's sunshine in the West ooo arr! God elle you sound a right mess today! x

 

[Taz]

I think we have some sunshine here. I guess I would know that if I got my arse of my computer and went outside!

 

[Gemstone]

Ha :character00238: You've caught the big boys bug like the rest of us then x

 

[Taz]

What can I say, I just like the madness of it all!

 

[elle2585]

have you managed to get through it all yet taz? haha. yeah, i'm having one of those "rather be in bed" days. which is strange because usually I hate staying in bed all day, even when I have days off. i cant wait to go home, i have a 'fantasy' of going home, getting into bed and putting a dvd on hahaha. but that wont happen as i have to cook. BOO. x

 

[abz]

hi guys. sorry. it got fairly busy for a bit there, ha. the sun has made an appearance!! amazing. it's the first sun of the day am out of here in half an hour hopefully. woohoo. think i have an evening of bath and book tonight

abz xx

 

[elle2585]

well miss abz looks like you've nicked the sun from the midlands. grrr!!! you know what i was just thinking (besides from my clever thought about how calorie should be spelt calory)? I was thinking, weightloss should definitely be over night. i feel like im a child waiting for a birthday. or worse. christmas! x

 

[abz]

tell me about it. totally impatient. want to be thin NOW... please?

 

[elle2585]

yeah pleeeeeeeeease. who are we pleading? hahaha hahaha. except you know full well that before we know it it'll be christmas time. and for example, if i gave up now (which im not even considering so dont worry haha) christmas would come faster, and i'd log back on and most of you will have lost your weight and maintaining and feeling amazing. and i'll still look like this hahaha. so i say we just take the time on the chin and keep going. grrr. but the short term targets are helping i have to say. x

 

[abz]

well someone on here said something that i keep thinking about. that the time passes regardless, it's what we want at the end of it that makes the difference. so i figure that the next two months will go by whether i'm dieting or not, and if i stick to the diet i could be far thinner at the end of it than at the beginning, so there we go... on i slog. still. being able to eat occasionally would be nice. i'm craving sandwiches with salad in them... chicken salad would be nice am also craving ribs from the chinese
