A 'typical' food day for me is for breakfast maybe a hard boiled or deviled egg, lunch is a small salad with lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes and olives with about 2 tablespoons of salad dressing,(usually ranch) and maybe a piece of chicken and dinner is another small salad, chicken, beef or fish with either green beans or broccoli. I use only butter or olive oil (no diet or 'light' foods).
for a snack maybe a handful of dry roasted peanuts or a couple of pieces of hard cheese. I drink dry white wine with ice in it, so it is pretty watered down. During the day I drink water and I'm down to 1 diet coke a day.
Even when I first did the Atkins plan a few years ago I never exersized and I went from a size 10-12 to a 4 in a relatively short period of time. This is the first time I have done any 'structured' kind of exersizing plan. Have I put my body into somekind of starvation mode?? Are all these diet supplements doing more harm than good?? Thanks
