| Carbs? Ew? |

Before I started training with my trainer, I had a slice of multigrain toast or a bowl of cereal every morning. I almost always had a banana. On weekends, sometimes I'd make pancakes. I love desserts. I love baked goods. Now my breakfasts are some sort of meat and vegetable (well, fruits like cherry tomatoes or cucumbers). I don't miss toast, and I don't miss cereal. I don't miss carbs. But when I do eat something carb-y like a scone, rice, noodles, ice-cream, I don't find them satisfying! At my friend's wedding, I ate only half my desserts. I've eaten one bite of fried rice or noodles, and I don't want more (I used to make fried rice for dinner). Last night, the scone I ate just seemed sub-par. Why don't I enjoy carb-y food anymore? Is it my supplements? Did I get them out of my system? Was it the actual food? I didn't weigh myself today. I haven't weighed myself in 4 weeks, but I went for my pinchy-pinchy fat test yesterday. I'm down from 23.6% body fat to 21.9%. That took about 4 weeks. My trainer said that percentage would be lower if I followed her prescribed diet to a T (and got more sleep). It's possible for me to drop 1% bodyfat per week! |

I think it would really hurt to get calipers pinching the head!! Ouch!!
I've never been a fan of a huge plate of pasta...But I am dying to have some pesto, and I like it with rotini best!

Thanks! I still have a bit of that muffin top on top of my ever growing muscles! BWAHAHAHA
Your diet sounds exactly like what my trainer prescribes! She has told me to read The Paleo Diet.

You actually don't miss bread? I have always loved bread and can't imagine not 'wanting' it, even if one doesn't eat it ~ you are a stronger person that I.

In our country, carbohydrate is the most wanted food. In that case, we eat rice. Rice had become really expensive lately and people are looking for cheap one. What's important is to 'satisfy', and most of us here don't care about the quality. I think we should be selective with our diet/food, yes, not just carb but other nutrition like protein, vitamins and mineral are also important.

I'm with Coni. God, take away anything but fresh bread. Please..... Okay, Okay, I'll cut down anyway.

What country are you in? I grew up eating a lot of rice and noodles -- typical Asian diet. There is definitely a smaller selection of food for me when I go eat at a Chinese restaurant now!

Sometimes I think back to the smells and aromas of baking and how much I used to enjoy it...I still have fond memories, but when I actually eat that stuff now, it's not the same! In fact, it's downright disappointing!

I rarely craved that stuff before (especially lasagna). My cravings tended to be chips or chocolate or baked goods. MMM!
