I have been doing Atkins for 50 days now and have only lost a few pounds. I have never cheated however I do eat out a lot and am not always sure what is in the sauces or salad dressings. Tomorrow I am going to try the macadamia nut/cream cheese suggested by Dr. Atkins. I must say I feel a lot better, have a lot more energy, and look a little better too. In June I weighed 205, in September 196 and today 188. Any body have any advice for me? I love reading the posts. :)

Hi gigi,
I moved your post to the Introduction Forum, since it's your first post. Can you give us some idea of your daily menu, including how much water you drink? I too, have problems when I eat out a lot. I think it may to do with the wide variety of food that you can eat in a restaurant and rarely eat at home. There may not be hidden carbs, but I have a hunch that it slows you down to have a wide variety of proteins in your system at once. Karen |
welcome gigi
This is a great place for info and support. When I have eaten out I usually stick with broiled meats, ceasar salads no crutons, deep fried chicken wings or pork ribs that dont have the sauces on them. I do have most of my meals at home so it is easier for me to control. There are many recipes on here so U should be able to find lots to eat. Good luck with this new way of life, its sounds like U are on the right track.

Slows you down?

Karen... Could you explain this please? Are you saying that eating eggs, cheese, fish and beef in a single day slows you? I'm curious... Marlaine |
Yeah Karen, I was going to ask what Marlaine just asked you. That's very intersting. It's easier in the kitchen,too I might add. :)

variety of proteins
Hi, Thanks for your welcomes. I was also wondering if it is not a good idea to vary my menu too much during the day.
My typical day is Breakfast--sausage and cheese omelette or high protein drink Lunch--salad with hamburger patty and cheese Dinner--Salad with steak or chicken or fish or hamburger I also have been eating a lot of cheese for snacks and sometimes those high protein, low carb bars which I just read are not a good idea. I drink 80-100 oz. of water a day. Any new advice? Do you think I should do a one day fast? Do you think I should do the macadamia nut/cream cheese deal that Atkins talks about in his book? Thanks for any help you can give me. |
gigi many resaurants use MSG it may slow you down
Also you may want to cut back on the cheese. |
Hello Whiplash
It looks like you and I are about at the same place right now. Maybe we could help each other out.
Where do you live in New Jersey? I have a son in Madison. He works in Newark. How many days have you been doing atkins? Gigi |
