Here we go.....
Hi,
I am new to the forum, and wanted to leave a post for other people who might be a little bit lost.
I have been on Atkins for about 3 months now. I was 242 when I started, and I am now almost 200. My goal is 180.
I have not had my blood checked, and I can't say if I am up or down. I was thinking about having this done, but am not sure where to start.
I think there is a Berstein clinic a block from work, do they do this kind of thing?
I am eating low carb, but I don't have enough variety. I need to have more salads and vegetables, but it is pretty far out of the way to get these things.
I am also a picky eater which limits me even more. It is weird. I love certain foods and detest others. Before the AFL I was drinking 3 or more liters of Pepsi everyday, skipping breakfast, having a high carb lunch, and eating junk all night.
Things are improving now though. I drink lots of water, some diet 7-up. I have bacon and eggs for breakfast, small ammount of fruit or nuts for snacks. I often miss lunch or just have some nuts (somthing I will be changing). Dinner is usually meat or a low carb tortilla wrap. I need to ad more salad in. I am also thinking of limiting carbs after 6pm to 2 or 3 carbs maximum.
Does this sound like you? Any advice? I'm basically looking to meet some people who are also new on the plan, but are looking for a little more discussion about bad habits. Feel free to email me, I'd love to hear from you.
Steve
