How did I put on 4 lbs in one day?!?!?! In fact... I don't think I ate enough food yesterday to even equal 4 lbs! Ridiculous! Anyways... we're seeing the cycle Curt always goes thru. He loses a nice chunk of weight, then puts some back on but loses it again. We're seeing me stuck at the same old weight. Bah!!
I found when I stopped drinking diet soda, I started losing again. Some say aspartame inhibits fat loss. Also, Tim Ferriss, who wrote "4-Hour Body", noticed that as long as he stayed under 16oz of diet soda, his weight loss continued, so when I do drink diet soda w/aspartame, I keep it at max 1 can. Have you tried making quick lemonade w/stevia? I pour in some lemon juice out of a bottle into a tall glass, 1 packet of stevia, and then water, and I can drink as much of that as I like.
ReplyDeleteI don't normally drink more than 1 soda a day. That day was abnormal for me. I woke up thirsty and all I had in here was a can of soda, then had one for lunch and a kid brought me another for dinner. So... I just got lazy. I normally have my water on me and drink that like crazy!
