Carbs, Diet & Weight Loss

It's 8 am in the morning and Betty just arrived at work - on time by the skin of her teeth. Her cube mate, Esther has been there since 7:45.

As Betty fights to wipe the cobwebs out of her mind, Esther is a solid line of endless prattle. A morning person, just Betty's luck. She used to really enjoy Esther's company in the morning, but lately it was nerve racking. And things seemed a bit more sluggish for her than lately. In the beginning of her low carb diet plan, Betty had felt energized and excited about dropping those 10 pounds so swiftly. But over the last couple of weeks, her get up and go had done got up and gone. What was wrong with her?

At least she wasn't hungry. Those 3and 4 egg breakfast omelets smothered in cheese certainly kept her satisfied for a long time.

When 10 o'clock rolled around, Esther returned to her chair with a cup of fresh fruit in hand. Betty shook her head, wondering how in the world Esther could possibly be hungry. Perhaps she hadn't eaten breakfast.

"No time for breakfast this morning?" Betty asked, finding her question a bit comforting in challenging Esther with the time factor.

Esther smiled and eased out, "Actually, I never miss breakfast. It's the most important meal in my day. Nothing energizes like breakfast!"

Yuck, Betty pondered, finding Esther's excitement too much this early in the morning. She paused to take stock. Betty had always been pretty much a morning person herself - more so than Esther - so why was she suddenly so lifeless?

She glanced at her friend, Esther and her thoughts continued on a new trail. Esther was thin, and when Betty really thought about it, Esther was always eating. She ate a morning snack, an afternoon snack and a good lunch....but it was always healthy food faire.

She winced as Esther casually told her, "Betty, I know that you're on a popular carb diet. And I know that you've dropped a good amount of weight. But I also know that you're so tired these days - you're not your same old self. And I also know that carbs are the sphere of energy in the diet. Just think about that, my friend. I want the old energized Betty back - but I know that you don't want that weight back."

Betty did ponder her friend's words, as they had come from the heart and were not offered in a lecturing way. Betty loved her low carb diet plan. She loved her weight loss. But she also wanted her sense of energy back.

She was a bit surprised as Esther suddenly suggested, "Betty, why not take a good look at your carb diet plan and see if you can keep out the bad carbs and allow a few more good carbs into meal times? It's just a suggestion. Okay, it's back to work to me."

Betty was thoughtful for a long time after that. She decided to heed Esther's suggestion. And a few days later, Betty beat Esther to the office.
