Things have gone surprisingly well so far, given my previous experiences with trying to do low-carb and/or calorie-restricted diets. I do still really want to eat bread and sugar and such, but I assume those cravings will be curbed with time. As it is, as soon as I eat something with any kind of significant carb load (like a piece of dark chocolate) in order to reach my 20g goal for the day, I immediately find myself wanting to eat a lot more food.
Having read a few books about this stuff, it's interesting to finally be aware enough to experience the sensation of being "full" after eating only a small amount of food, unlike my carb-heavy eating which tended to involve eating until I felt like shit or thought "Why did I eat that?"
Weight is down to 331.4 pounds, marking almost 5 pounds since Monday. A consequence of the drastic change, no doubt, and I don't expect this pace to hold for long.
This weekend will be an interesting challenge, with a dinner at a friend's house Friday night and a wedding (no doubt replete with foods I cannot, or should not, eat) on Saturday. Maybe I'll bring some nuts.
