Apparently your bodies ability to burn calories is disrupted by the presence of alcohol in the system, or so our naturopath says.

The main problem is your body converts alcohol to sugar.

You can still dine out and make healthy choices. Veggies instead of fries etc.... Fast food is tough though because it's mostly processed and low quality ingredients in general. That's how they sell a double cheeseburger for less than you can make it yourself.

Not too shabby. One of the reasons that this is appealing to me quite a bit, is tackling staying at home more than not too. We used to go out 3-4 nights a week and it was getting out of control. We both enjoy cooking, have great tools to do so and I am loving it. However with my travel schedule that plays a major role in it.
Glad to hear your 1st full day doing so well.

sounds like Weight Watchers.
I'm on Tapatalk so can't search, but I know that JB mentioned an app he liked a few pages back.

Morgan and I are doing Weight Watchers Plus system, but not the program.
I am using an app called ProTracker Plus Weight Watchers. It was $4 in iTunes and works really really well.

Thats actually a myth. Your body uses alcohol as a fuel. It's essentially ethanol. So while you have alcohol in your system your body can't use other sources of energy you consume.

Wow! I always thought it was true. It's still bad for you though, lol. I do t really drink so it doesn't matter to me either way honestly. Can't deal with the hangover.

I have better luck with the gold.
Also, a singular beer at the end of the day fits quite well into whatever diet you're doing.

This is why tequila is required!

Weigh in today and I am down 6.5 lbs. I also went from 41 points per day to 39, which still wont be an issue.
Feeling good, eating pretty much the same stuff, with some tweaks and enjoying where this is headed.

Yeah, and if you follow paleo articles, I've seen several that say go with the fuller dark/gold tequilas and not the more refined silvers. The owner of Marks Daily Apple even says go with mezcal.

Be careful with weighing yourself every day. Your weight can fluctuate 5 to 10 lbs easily due to water retention etc.... Once a week isn't too bad but everyday is a setup for disappointment. Congrats on the 3 pounds though!

I weigh myself every single morning and chart it every 7 days on the app. Most of the time in the beginning, huge flux takes place because of water weight, but thats okay. Stick with it and you are going to be burning it off every single week.

Bowl of bow ties and red sauce tonight.
I even measured out the dry pasta and sauce. Two portions of pasta and one of sauce with a tablesoon of parmesan was 13 points or so. Not terrible and still way under my day in points.
