OK veterns....
I need to drop 6 pounds by my pre-op appt on 5/16.  I have already lost 4 just not eating sweets and portion control/good food choices.  Yesterday I told myself that I needed to do something different to get the 6 pounds off.

I am shooting for 1000 cal / day with very low carb and walking as much as possible.

I need more ideas.  I work 12 hour shifts as a nurse so I need to eat something for energy.  I need some portable snack ideas / small meal ideas. 

HELP!

 Try Atkins or Southbeach for the 2 weeks. You normally lose atleast 8 to 14lbs in that timeframe. Southbeach you can look at the plan free online. (southbeach phase 1 plan - I think)

 Two protein shakes (Premiere is the best!) and one small healthy meal. Lots of water.

When I do the induction plan for Atkins, I lose at least 10-15 pounds in the first 2 weeks easily. It sounds like you are planning low carb anyway. The first few days are tough, but after that I get lots of energy. Good luck! You can do it!
