The sleeve PLUS developing better habits is key to this! On my days I stay strict low carb, my day might look something like this:
BR-coffee with sugar-free creamer, bacon and scrambled eggs with heavy whipping cream. I sometimes add cheese-lots of it! lol
LU- leftover meat of any kind, a few stir-fried vegetables. This helps when I actually cook and have leftovers!
DI- Some type of meat and stir-fried veggies with cheese
Evening- later when I am watching tv or whatever, I will save my carbs for a Breyers Carb-smart bar ot Danin light and Fit Greek yogurt with cut up strawberries.
Snacks - I generally stick with nuts, cheese, or berries. I have pretty much given up snacking, because I found myself raeching for them even if I am not hungry. That is honestly pretty much it. I do this for about 2 wweks, and then take a 3-4 day break. One time, I dropped 10 lbs in that time-I literally felt my clothes getting bigger at one point. That was all the motivation I needed to keep going. lol. This is only what works for me, so no promises. Hugs to you!
