Thanks again everyone!!
I got some L-glutamine and some vitamin minus the iron so I think I'm set to go. Today is my first day and I feel great. It usually doesn't get hard until the 3rd or 4th day for me. I had my usual coffee this morning with a little bit of powdered creamer 1 carb for 1 tsp and some sausage and eggs. Lunch is going to be tuna fish/mayo/pickle/onion/egg. Dinner will be tacos with out the shell. |
I know this seems like a dumb question but what exactly is tacos without the shell?
|
I just have sort of a taco salad with the beef with cheese and lettuce.
|
That makes sense. Sorry, told you it was a dumb question.
|
It wasn't a dumb question!! I'd probably ask the same thing!! :roll:
|
Just to make things more confusing...I find chromium helps waaaaay more than L-glutamine for cravings. :roll: :roll: :roll:
|
I bet it's easier to find too, huh? I'll pick that up next time.

hello
. . .Hello everyone! I was just wondering......can we have cabbage on the Adkins (induction)? Any good recipes for casseroles? Thanks sooooo much. My Mom is also doing this diet w/ me......She is doing good too. Thanks for all the advice. We truely appreciate it! :roll:
|
Yes, cabbage is fine as long as you're carefully counting the carbs. :)
|
im on my 4th day with atkins and all i want to do is eat a piece of bread!!! but the water really does help with cravings, it fills the belly pretty well. also i try to remember that pretty much any craving lasts around 5 minutes so i just tough it out until i forget that i want it and i am doing ok.

Craving sweets
I use Whipped Cream- not Cool Whip. The kind in the spray can. Check the brand. No carbs. No suger. I either eat it right out of the can or put it on diet jello. Also, after about 10 days on the inductin diet, your cravings should just about be over.

Whipped cream in the can DOES have both carbs and sugar. Not much, granted, but enough to count it. If your can says otherwise, it is because the amount is not required to be reported BY LAW, not because it contains no carbs.

Avoidance
Maybe avoiding the aisles of a store with all those temptations in it will help.
I try to mentally picture a :skull: when I pass those aisles. They also have those candy stands in checkout lines, so tunnel vision can be useful there also. :) |
Hello everyone! Today is day 8 for me. I also started today, taking Xenadrine.....for a little boost. I need energy, and a little boost:) I think Xenadrine is safe with the Adkins diet, right? Well, anyone with any info, please fill me in. I hope the best for all of you....and keep up the good work :roll:
|
It's your body and your life. I, myself, am doing Atkins to get OFF of drugs and be healthier. If you think Xenadrine does that for you, more power to you.
