Well, I'm back to tracking my food here instead of WW website. WW was trying to starve me. Seriously, I think I was eating about 1100 calories a day if I stayed within my target. The problem with WW as I discovered these last couple of months is that it punishes you with higher point count for foods that are high in carbs and fat - and it rewards you with a lower point count for foods that are high in fiber and protein. The only problem is that I can't eat all that artificial food that's chock full of trans-fats and bloated with extra fiber to get the point counts down.
I don't think that there is anything wrong with eating fat - as long as it's from a healthy source. I don't consider crisco to be one of them.
Here's one example of how WW points was starving me: Every morning I eat a gf waffle with peanut butter and honey before my workouts. WW said that it was 6 points - in calories it's only about 205 cals. So, that's all I've been eating for breakfast because I like to save more points for a bigger dinner. Well, I'm super active. I run, swim, play soccer, walk, and do hot yoga. I exercise about 2 times a day. I was eating 6 pts for breakfast, lunch, snack and then 8 points for dinner which took me to my total of 26 points.
When I did stay on plan for a whole week, I'd lose 3-4 pounds. But I couldn't sustain it more than one week. Then I'd be making up for all that calorie deficit the next week - having a yoyo pattern to my diet. Really driving me crazy. Well, I'm back to eating right and trying to be more successful. I'm back to my 1600 calories/day, which would be like 40 WW points. YIKES!
