Healthy Weight!

I have 5 pounds to go to get to a healthy weight on the BMI calculator.  5 more pounds puts me in the normal range!!  I have now lost 30 pounds!

For those who wonder what I am doing.  I am eating a Paleo/Primal/Low Carb eating plan.  I am not staying completely Paleo because I eat cheese.  I eat meats, eggs, cheeses, nuts, and lots of fruits and vegetables.  I have also been following The 100 diet.  I don't restrict the amount I eat, I just eat when I'm hungry.  I have never been one to cut back extremely on calories.  

Following The 100 diet you eat a maximum of 100 sugar calories a day.  That doesn't sound bad but all carbs are sugar calories.  Each gram of carbs is multiplied by 4 to determine the sugar calories content.  So basically you stick to 25 carbs per day.  I haven't kept a close count on my carbs.  I do eat fruits and vegetables and the sugar calories add up.  I stay mostly with vegetables, but if I am wanting a sweet taste then I have some fruit.  Fruit taste really good and sweet if you haven't been eating sugar for a while.

I have noticed that if I eat something that has sugar in it I can tell it immediately.  It tastes way too sweet for me.  When I eat out sometimes the food is prepared with some added sugar.  I usually don't like the taste because it is too sweet.  And yes, I do eat out!  I have to have a normal life or I can not maintain my new lifestyle.  

The great think is I don't feel like I am on a diet anymore.  At the beginning I did.  On the first four weeks of The 100 the diet is very disciplined.  The give you a meal plan or food options to stick to. One of those weeks I dropped 6 pounds.  I guess if I wanted to eat like that long term I could lost much faster.  I am happy with the weight that I am losing.  The fat is just melting away.  I can't believe how much flatter much stomach has gotten!
