When Alana Nappi’s weight hit 190 pounds in 2017, she knew it was time to make some changes. She wasn’t happy with the way she looked physically — or the way she felt.
Nappi decided to limit carbs, added sugars and food additives such as colorings. She doesn’t eat “diet” or “sugar-free” foods because she finds that they actually make her cravings more intense. She also increased her protein intake and added fruits and vegetables to every meal. With fewer carbs and more protein, she lost two to three pounds a week at first and dropped a total of 65 pounds.These are some of the other health benefits Nappi has gained:She doesn’t feel as hot or sweat as much.
After she shops, she’ll cook some salmon or another type of fish and a vegetable for the week, with a sauce like teriyaki. She mixes up her choices weekly, so she’s not always eating the same thing. “People think it’s all chicken and broccoli, but there are a lot of options,” she said.Courtesy Alana Nappi
She admits she struggles with cravings: “Cravings are hard for me even now. If I crave sugar, I’ll have fruit or dark chocolate.” But she doesn’t rule out other treats altogether. “I love cake, but now I have it in moderation, like a small slice at a party,” she said.Nappi aims for protein and a fruit or vegetable with every meal, and a healthy carb with one or two meals per day. She chooses foods like these:A protein bar, eggs or a smoothie.
