Prehistory
From the very childhood I was quite a plump child, to be more precise, I began to grow fat at the age of 9. I grew up without a father, and to brighten up the life of a poor "orphan", my mother stuffed me with sweets - I still remember how we went by tram to popular ones then wholesale food markets and packages bought Danish rolls, muffins, chocolate and other sweets. One more impression from my childhood - with me in the summer camp, my mother gave me a huge "bag of a shuttle" with sweets, so that I would not starve.
Of course, I could consider that the problems with my weight are due to heredity (this, by the way, is the most common position among the bbw), but it is obvious that their cause is completely wrong and quite destructive eating habits. To varying degrees, they are peculiar to all those suffering from excess weight: someone is accustomed to eat any dish with bread, someone for the economy eats mainly macaroni and potatoes, someone does not think in the evening without compulsory tea drinking with biscuits. These same habits and malnutrition are the cause of excess weight, but it all became clear to me just now.
So, by the 11th grade I weighed about 100 kg with a height of 173 cm. I can not say that it somehow had a disastrous effect on my life - I was always a leader in my studies and in extracurricular life, I had friends, young people, but, of course, life could be more fun, be I "like everyone else." Attempts to lose weight were episodic, I tried even Thai pills, but none of my weight loss campaign was successful - I either did not lose weight, or did not keep the result.

The first stage of losing weight
At the end of the third year of the institute, this was in 2005, I learned that in the west, it has long been losing weight not on low-fat, but on low-carb - low-carb diets. The diet with such diets is strikingly different from the traditional weight loss menu - after all, fats and proteins are not completely limited. Thus, it is possible in unlimited quantity to eat fat fried meat, watered with mayonnaise, and lose weight.
The meaning of the diet is that if the body consumes fats + proteins + carbohydrates, then it is much easier to split carbohydrates (they are already split by saliva), and fats that get into the body are delayed. If you do not consume carbohydrates, then you want the body - do not want to split the fats, and not just eaten (they are new, alien and difficult for the organism), but already laid aside in the sides, "adapted" for your body.
I decided to make another attempt to lose weight, and June 1, 2005 - the day of my first wedding - was the first day of a new way of life. I started my way to harmony with 114 kg.
I did not have any external incentive to lose weight - my husband married me fat and even loved me the first year of living together, I still had everything fine, and, it would seem, there were no prerequisites for change. Just a low-carb diet seemed to me so elementary that I wanted to try to change my diet because of interest - I did not need any special feats from me.
The basis of my diet was meat in any form (fried, boiled, stewed, baked, shish kebab, grilled) - beef, pork, veal, lamb, poultry; meat by-products; Fish and seafood; sausages, hams, sausages, sausages; cheeses - firm, curd, processed; eggs, butter - butter and vegetable. Permitted drinks - tea, coffee without sugar, soda without sugar, mineral water. Also allowed alcohol - dry wine, champagne brut, vodka, tequila, cognac, rum, whiskey.

These products can be supplemented with vegetables: cucumbers, celery, sorrel, zucchini, lettuce, broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, green beans, sea kale are allowed to eat. Allowed pickles - pickled cucumbers, tomatoes, sauerkraut, garlic, peppers. The only permitted fruit is lemon, berry is cranberry. Well, very little and with care you can use cottage cheese, sour cream, tomatoes, olives and olives, eggplant, bell pepper. Food is allowed to fry, salt, pepper, pickle, smoke, in general, any treatment that does not bring carbohydrates to the food is allowed.
Absolutely prohibited are any flour products - dough, bread, "dietary" bread, pasta, sugar, any cereals - rice, buckwheat and others, chocolate, potatoes, beets, carrots, peas, corn, all fruits and berries, juices and sweet soda, nuts, dried fruits, yogurts, curds, ice cream, any sweets, sugar, honey.
My approximate menu for the day was, for example, coffee with cream and an omelette with a couple of sausages and a few slices of cheese for breakfast, borsch and a piece of meat in French under a cheese-mushroom cap with boiled broccoli for lunch, julienne and grilled chicken breast on dinner. I ate snacks of cheese, sausage, cottage cheese.
No difficulties such a menu did not cause - in any restaurant there are always low-carb dishes, even in university cafeterias I baa
