Changing Gears

Well, on January 1, 2012, I started eating low caeb and as of today, I am down 14 pounds. I started at 249 and am down to 235. This is very exciting to me. Officially, I have been off of all sugar, white flour products since Jan. 8th and am feeling so good sicne I made it through 3 days of headaches.
I have a very good frind who is also on this journey with me and she is such a support.
I have started some physical activity by dancing to Juke Box Gold music as I clean the house and am currently working on putting fitness exercises. I go just one day and one step at a time.
My plan is based on Atkins and also anti inflammatory diet, so I am working on fats as that is a big concern for kidneys and liver.. When my hubby had to have a liver transplant, I learned a lot. Fatty liver leads to cirrhosis. If you are too heavy, you basically would be turned down for transplant. Too much protein, especially red meat protein is not good for both liver and kidneys. If your kidneys are already compromised, do be extra careful....talk to you later..
