Fri (8-24) LOW Carb Day

I decided to try an alternative.

I read in Woman's World that LA Weight Loss has this accelerator plan where two consecutive days a week you cut back on carbs significantly.


It gives your system a "jolt" or some such thing. Anyway, it keeps your body from hitting a plateau because you are on the same level day in and day out. (Probably similar to the idea of the Wendie plan.)

If it works, I'll like it because it will give me a chance to eat some stuff I don't get to eat when I'm just counting calories. Like more milk. And more meat.

Today's eating was like this:
Coffee
Breakfast:Grilled chicken breast with collard greens and slaw. MILK
Snack: Didn't eat one. I wasn't hungry.
Lunch: A salad I picked up at Vincent's deli in the Southern Market. I actually combined their 7 layer salad with a chicken salad. It was very good.
Snack: Yogurt and string cheese
After work: Salmon with mayo, jalepeno pepper, celery, onion and a pickle.

I sure hope this idea works because it would help me not get tired of what I have to eat the other five days if I could eat more protein and milk a couple days a week.

By the way, LA's basic plan for weight loss is more of carb/calorie control plan. Your eating is charted out for you so that it actually controls both.

Excerpts from the article:

For many months now, [LA has] been slipping clients a special two-day menu plan that's so powerful, it accelerates by-the-book weight loss to the tune of 300%. Wow!

Most of the time [with the LA plan] you follow a filling good-carb plan that falls neatly within the USDA Food Pyramid guidelines. Here's the magic part: Two days a week you use a special acceleration menu. It's nothing fancy-- just a mix of ordinary super-market foods. The key is that they're low-carb, low-calorie and, most important a shock to your system....

WHY IT WORKS

Most people eat the same way every day with little variation, and our bodies very quickly adapt to these eating patterns. Any change in diet will shake up the metabolism and make it work harder....That means more calories burned and lots more weight loss.

I don't know how to check out if this is so, but here it says the LA of LA
Weight Loss stand for Lifestyle Adjustment.
