This past weekend, I wrote about breaking hypnosis. I have, but I'm still in shock. How could I stop doing a program that was working? Well, I was dizzy, tired, weak and unmotivated, and I was apparently not giving my body enough nutrients to survive. My low-carb diet, which had been healthy and helped me lose just over 80 pounds, was no longer cutting it.
But it worked! But, I wasn't feeling well. See, since the beginning of 2012, my exercise increased, working towards 5 miles of walking a day and building up my endurance to run 5K races without walking. I was eating more of the meat and veggies that were part of my low-carb plan, but it turns out my body needed even more. My hypnotist, who also has a background in nutrition, was surprised I was training so hard while on such an intense weight loss program; it was too much for my body to handle at once. My doctors agreed. It's time to reintroduce carbs.
It's scary, and to be honest, I failed at my first week off hypnosis and a low-carb diet. Left to my own devices, I reverted to old habits. But, if I want to keep moving forward, I have to make better decisions and learn how to stay healthy.
So much for my plan to double my efforts and double my losses! In order to stay healthy and safely train, I had to make a change. I made the difficult decision to break hypnosis and change my diet, but I'm also stepping up my training.
