After years of eating bread and pasta, Brittney Custard was close to 300 pounds, a heavy burden for her 5-foot-1-inch frame.
The first step toward losing weight was journaling to identify behaviors and triggers that caused her to overeat, Custard says.
"Anytime I had an urge, anytime I had a craving, I would write down my state of mind. Why am I having this craving?" she recalls. "OK, I notice I (eat) bread when I'm feeling like this. When I'm stressed out here, I tend to order out. I'll get pizza."
By observing herself and analyzing her eating habits, Custard says she noticed she was eating many carbs and drinking a lot of soda. That's when she started looking into a low-carb diet.
This is what Custard ate to get her health back on track.
