Hello everyone,
I finally got around to doing some bloodwork my doctor's been pestering me to get done for a couple of years. I'm terrible, I know. He wanted to check my cholesterol. I guess because I've been losing weight these few years and my blood pressure has always been immaculate, I never really made it a priority.
And yikes, do I need to make some changes!
I know of course the past few months haven't been me at my best because of quarantine. I'm actually eating out MORE because I'm bored and need diversion. I also gave up meat for lent this year so I leaned heavily on dairy and eggs (whoops). I've also had time so I've been baking.
Anyway, all this to say that I've finally been paying attention to my macros in MFP and what I've been logging and boy do I have a problem with carbs. I grew up in an Italian household so pasta, rice, and bread were de facto available. What's more shocking is that, despite me always asserting I don't have that much of a sweet tooth, I most certainly DO. I've noticed how often I go looking for chocolate or other sugar treat. I don't often keep such things in my house but when I do I channel some serious Cookie Monster vibes.
So, I'm trying to make changes to what I have in the house and cooking and reducing to eating out just x2 week max like before. Anyone have any tips for cutting carbs and sweets? I love fruit but especially around that certain time of the month I become chocolate focused and now that I've slipped, it's hard to being satisfied with a chip of straight up chocolate. I want cake.
