Atkins and Low Carb Weight Loss
Wednesday/Thursday CARb Accountability Roundup, BOOyahhh!
Sorry I didn't post the Tuesday thread, folks -- busy, out eating a low-carb storm! (When you read my daily menu, keep in mind I'm on maintenance, so you'll see a fewer carby items mixed in).
TUESDAY:
B: Coffee, cream, cheesy onion-peppers-tomato omelette in butter
S: Gefilte fish with beet horseradish
L: roasted chicken, carrots with apricots, garden salad with greens from my own yard
S: chocolate-coconut macaroon (homemade, not that canned stuff)
D: mushroom-chard soup with a matzo ball,
gefilte fish, haroset, four glasses of red wine (it's a wonder I can type), fried chicken shnitzel, beets, asparagus, and a pecan cookie
WEDNESDAY:
B: coffee, cream, three poached eggs
S: chopped liver on celery
L: pickled herring with cole slaw
S: yogurt/berry smoothe (greek yogurt, artificial sweetener, frozen berries)
D: I absolutely have no idea yet

Interested in low-carb nutrition? Thinking of trying Atkins? Want to try high-fat and/or high-protein eating? Whether or not you have had (or are thinking about) WLS http://www.obesityhelp.com/group/atkins/
I have not been on the site for a while. Carb wise - not doing so good, and overall made a few really poor choices. But ... there is still tomorrow, and once i realized, I went back on the program. Not tomorrow - but today... had a high carb morning, but after that - not doing too badly.
After Easter - I will go back to my low carb style - starting with 1 week induction and then just follow the plan, Until then - want to make sure I do not gain any weigh.
Today (not so good) food choices:
Coffee + almond milk
biscuit with butter.
fruit salad with whip cream
from this point on - I did low carb:
protein bar
Greek yogurt + proteins
flatout wrap + cheese + pickles
chicken with mushroom sauce, salad.
LNS: cheese
I think it is important to go back on a proper diet once we realized that we are blowing it off. Not the next morning, not later... but just on the spot.

I haven't been on here for awhile, too!
As far as low carb-ness goes, I've done well!
Average protein per day is 95 g, Average Carb per day 28
Been doing Tae Bo for cardio and I love it.
FINALLY have lost another pound!!! Only 8 more pounds to my goal!
It WILL happen!
Typical 'Amy day':
B: Protein shake
S: Atkins bar
L: tilapia, just the cheese snack
S: Nuts of some sort
D: Salad with chicken and lots of cheese
S: Atkins shake
