For those of you that are new here and trying to be healthy and lose weight - WELCOME!
I know how you are feeling, that you feel hopeless - useless - fat - ugly - I can NEVER lose weight at my age - why bother - RIGHT?? I felt that way and even on occasion - still do. When you were as big as me, It never really goes away all the way.
If you are mentally ready - really ready - then this WILL work. YES even YOU! Your head needs to be right.
Follow Jorge's original BFC and start eating REAL FOOD... No more processed CRAP food, no diet or artificial sweeteners. Remember....REAL FAT is your friend.
Stop looking and counting calories - THAT Doesn't work. TRUST ME
Eat 3 meals a day. When you skip - you are only hurting yourself.
You don't need 2 servings of carbs at every meal if you don't want (1 serving is OK) and don't eat any carbs with dinner and be done with your dinner by 7pm. No food after that.
If you are not hungry between meals - then you don't need snacks.
Stick to under 5/2 (5 grams of sugars and 2 servings of carbs) for each meal. DON'T gio Over!
Don't let the food bullies influence you or talk you into eating anything bad. STICK to what you know is right.
Don't skips carbs commpletely or feel like you are limiting and depriving yourself. The way you eat now has to be the way you will eat forever - so do it right. I have lots of healthy recipes on here that I have accumulated. I always make sweet treats regularly so I can eat one every day. The sweet tooth monster resides within me for sure.
Never take a cheat day or even a cheat meal - that WON'T EVER Work!
You Can NEVER eat the way you did before - or you will look the way you did before. Its as simple as that.
And MOST of all... NEVER GIVE UP! - Never QUIT! You will lose weight at first - then it will come to a crashing halt. Keep going and find different ways of tweaking what you eat to make it work for you.
You CAN do it!!
Keep on BFC ' n :-)

Good to see a post from you this Monday morning:) I am hanging in, not gaining, not losing....but the sun is shining!!!
ReplyDeleteHave a great week and thank you for the good reminders!
thx. I agree with you. And...sadly...I slipped back to eating once a day...and that has sent me backwards. However...forward we go starting over and with DH back at it! xox ~melody~
ReplyDeleteHi Rosalie, was wondering if you know of any barbecue sauce that is Jorge approved? Thanks Angie.
ReplyDeleteI am pretty sure that Nature's Hollow makes a BBQ sauce - http://natureshollow.com/
Deletetheir products do have xylitol so you have to count the carbs with the sugar alchols together. But SOOO GOOD
I love their products.
I just go BBQ sauce from Nature's Hollow. Haven't tasted it yet. Also go ketchup, honey and maple syrup.
DeleteAmen!
ReplyDeleteI've really been enjoying reading your blog posts. I started on Jorge's Stubborn Fat Gone program March 3rd. I find it VERY easy to follow, and no cravings...and am not hungry at all!!
ReplyDeleteI'm down 11 lbs., 2-1/2" on waist, 1/2" on hips and 1" on upper thighs. WoooHooo!
THANKS for the encouragement!!!
Way to go - YOU GO GIRL!!
DeleteThank you, I sure needed to read this today! I won't give up!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the pep talk! Was in Barnes & Noble today and picked up The 100 by Jorge. Only count sugar calories. Had to put it down b/c I was getting confused, but then came home and read more about it online. Not sure if I want to do that or stay on the original BFC. Any suggestions or has anyone else tried this method?
ReplyDeleteI prefer the original BFC. That is what I started with and how I lost all my weight. However - I have found many better things to eat than are in his book along my journey which I always share on here. I hope that helps.
