Low Carb Lindsey Video 2: A Day w/o Caffeine & Aspartame

I'm Lindsey Root from http://www.lowcarblindsey.com and I'm losing weight by eating lowcarb and following the Atkin's Diet. I'm starting my 8th week of eating lowcarb and so far I've lost 16lbs. The last 3 weeks my weight loss has slowed down and I've lost about a pound a week. I've reread the induction phase in Dr. Atkin's New Diet Revolution book and reevaluated my diet and I realize that I've been consuming way too much caffeine and aspartame. In studies it was observed that people consuming excessive amounts of caffeine and aspartame found that their weight loss slowed down. I'm cutting them out completely to see if my weight loss picks back up. Watch my latest video on how I'm doing cutting caffeine and aspartame out of my diet regimen.

So, will the caffeine in green tea cause you to stall, ya think? Btw thanks so much for your videos. I lived lc lifestyle for a while but since moving to Kansas city, I've been eating very starchy/sugary diet. It was no surprise when I started gaining and feeling blah. Your videos are helping motivate me to get & stay on track.

@hempychik Thanks for watching! I'm so glad I could help! :-) I would just try it to see if the caffeine in green tea effects you, if it doesn't then I would say drink up. I still enjoy drinking diet coke, but I try to make sure and drink plenty of water too.

Thank you for recording your story and supporting others in fitness. I wanted to share some ideas for atkins friendly beverages. I do not like crystal light. But they come up with a new product sweetened with 'inulin'! Inulin is a real food probiotic derived from chickoree root. I only use 1/3 a pkt in a 12oz tumbler. It's plenty sweet. There is this lovely Chai Tea by Zhena's Gypsy Tea, that is caffeine free. I like to sweeten my lemonade with 'Now's stevia, inulin & chromium packets.

That sounds so good! Thanks for sharing! I'll have to look for the Crystal Light with inulin when I go to the grocery story. I invite all advice! Thanks again!

I was drinking soooo much diet coke and diet dr pepper. I'm embarrased to even say how much I was drinking each day. I knew it couldn't be healthy how much caffeine and aspartame I was taking in throughout each day so I just felt like it was time to cut it off.
