Currently doing CICO!
F/ 5'10/ sw: 150 cw: 147/ gw: 128
I was thrilled to know I could enjoy sweet things while still losing some weight. Especially sweet things with added sugars such as donuts, chocolate, etc. However I think added sugars have been making cico hard for me, I tend to eat more than planned when I eat something sweet, to the point I eat over my calorie limit.
So I did a little experiment, I cut out all processed/added sugars out of my diet for 7 days, and I ate mostly grilled chicken and 1/4 an avocado per meal, I even had a mcdonalds hamburger for dinner most days, and occasionally some spicy/salty junk foods. For each day that week, staying within my calorie limit was so easy? Somedays I ate even more under my calorie limit cause it was so easy to just stop eating after a meal! I lost 2lb! However on the 8th day, I had one cookie after dinner, but then one cookie turned into 2 cookies! then 4! And so on.
So I think this is a sign I should cut out process/added sugar, and only eat it if:
-
I'm eating it with another person, and they paid for it
-
Someone else buys it, and offered some to me.
I used to think that as long as I was on CICO I could just eat whatever and everything would be fine, and whenever I failed to stick to my calorie limit it was my lack of self-control, but now I think the sugar is just too addicting for me. AITC? (Advice, input, thoughts, comments? )
