Who is Gayle McLeod?
My name is Gayle and after working for 32 years I finally was able to pack my bags and retire. Still to young and have a lot of spark left in me I could not just sit around and do nothing. Empty nester of 5 with a wonderful husband and two cats, I knew this was my chance to do what I want. I’ve had a passion for cooking and always looking for a healthier way to eat. For years I have never been happy with my weight (felt I needed to lose 30 pounds). My success rate varied with every diet I tried, only to gain the weight back after going back to my old ways.
Studies, statistics and reality show me that there are a small percentage of people that can keep the weight off. Let’s face it we are creatures of habit and gradually revert back to the foods that we crave, that are not good for us.
Speaking of old habits, my vice was that I loved potato chips. I would eat every crumb from the bottom of a large bag in one sitting, in place of a meal. I remember leaving work at the end of my shift and the first stop was the closet convenience store to pick up a bag. It would be empty before I pulled into the driveway. There was something about the starchy, salty, high carb snack that continued to draw me in.
I struggled to stay away from chips, but I kept giving into the temptation. For short periods I would completely eliminate them from my diet, but only to replace them with some other high carb substitute. I didn’t even really know what carbs were at that time. I had heard there were good carbs and bad carbs, but had no clue what the difference was. So out of curiosity, I started to search the internet to see if I could learn the difference, and start to educate myself on making better choices.
I found that good carbs are to be consumed in moderation and bad carbs are to be avoided as much as possible. Some carbs promote health, while others, if eaten too frequently or in large quantities, can lead to many health problems.
GOOD CARBS
BAD CARBS
So where should I go from here I wondered?
I stumbled onto the ATKINS DIET, I was so intrigued thinking that I could eat all the meats and salads and other delicious meals and lose weight. Whether you’re an old hand at Atkins, or just starting out, or exploring whether a low-carb lifestyle is for you, you’ll agree that gaining weight is easier than trying to loss those extra pounds.
This was a Revelation!
Stay tune, more to come!
