If you're getting nowhere, try eating less and exercising more.

Did you ever find anything that kick-started your weight loss? Or are you
like me, still getting absolutely nowhere?

===============
Hi Mogget. I was getting absolutely nowhere with strict low-carb after the
5th month. Nothing would kick-start it again. I maintained for 2 years and
finally gave it up in disgust. My diet was so limited at that point I
couldn't stand it anymore. I'm losing now on low-fat/low-carb Weight
Watchers. :-) I'm loving all the variety as well. I was to the point
that one more steak or slice of bacon would make me puke. Tonight I'm
having baked fish, 1/2 cup of sweet peas and as much low-carb veggies I can
comfortably consume (a mix of mushrooms, broccoli and zucchini/1 pat
butter). If strict low-carb doesn't work for you you may think about a
switch to another diet that may work. :o) I'm also walking 1 to 3 miles a
day. I don't think I would be losing this quickly if I wasn't doing the
walking. As for calories - I'm consuming about 1200 a day.

While I am not on WW (I've been doing BFL for a little over a
week...it took that long to get used to the meals) I am enjoying the
variety on BFL.

I still like steak (with the fat cut off) but no longer go near bacon
because of all the saturated fat it contains. My heart doesn't need
that.

Sounds good. I'm having that amount of green peas tonight with my
dinner but am swapping the butter with a couple of teaspoons of olive
oil.
Might have fish...not sure yet. If I can get a couple precooked
chickens the local store has on sale this weekend, I might buy a
couple of those and have a portion of chicken with my peas and
non-starchy veggies.

Have you ever tried weight lifting? It is hard at first to get my
muscles going (due to the slight paralysis in the left side of my body
from my heart attack) but I am *loving* it once I get everything
warmed up.

## What is BFL? Had strict LC kept working for me - if I was even losing
1/2 lb a month I would have stayed on it. But after 24 months and
NOTHING???!?!?!?!?! To it's credit I didn't gain anything either, even
those months I was housebound with the broken leg and related problems.

## Mine didn't either, but look at the choices I had: beef, chicken, turkey
and pork. Day after day after day... so bacon was a different "food" if you
know what I mean. Instead of yet another chicken/string bean dish for lunch
I would make some bacon or sausage. Taking the advice of others here I had
given up all nuts, all cheeses, milk.... and still my weight stayed the
same.

They're enough for 2 days and only $3.99 each. I have that with a small
potato w/pat of butter and 3/4 cup spinach or other low-carb veggie and 1
slice of Merita low-carb bread. Delicious! Before bed I now have a piece
of fruit. I missed fruit so much.

Walking and calorie restriction (portion control) seems to help get the
weight off me faster than any other exercise.

That is a great price. I bought 2 of them today and my 20 year old son
ate one before I even had the groceries put away. (He is 6'1 and
weighs 160 pounds)

They don't allow that at the YMCA. The only loud noises you really
hear is all the bodybuilders grunting and clanging weights. LOL!!

I don't know why you think you can't eat fish on Atkins. I eat several
kinds of fish, shrimp, scallops, even crab cakes occasionally.

I happen to *love* fish and any seafood. So does my father. However, I
have known (and know) many people who do not like fish at all unless
it is battered and deep fried and some people I have known (and do
know) do not even like it at all no matter how it is cooked.

They *are* out there you know.

There do seem to be a good number of people who say they don't like fish. I
think it stems from ignorance -- not having anyone make good baked or
broiled fish.

For some people it certainly does stem from ignorance. I've known
people like that as well.

With that said, I'm a pretty good cook and make fish a couple of times
a week. My oldest son loves my cooking and will have a couple of
servings of salmon or whatever type of fish or seafood chowder I am
cooking. My youngest son, who is a really fussy eater btw but is
coming around slowly, would rather not eat it but he will take a small
portion and eat it (and verbally protest the whole time he has to eat
those 3 or 4 bites of fish) because I refuse to make anything else
extra for him after I have cooked lunch or dinner for us. Put
battered fish in front of him....no *problem*. He will scarf it down
so fast you would think he inhaled it.
You should see the verbal battles those 2 boys get into because the
older one cannot understand why the younger one is so darn fussy when
it comes to food.

Yes. I love to swim but haven't in a long time, again because of the nasty
smell at the gym and that heavy rock music. The chlorine in the water there
was causing me some problems breathing and burned my eyes,... but I went in
the pool for those months anyway. In summer I used to walk to the lake and
swim, but that friend moved away and it's inadvisable to swim alone. The
nearest YMCA is too far away. My husband will not swim at the lake although
he knows how....

=============
I did eat fish on strict Low-Carb. I just didn't list every single thing I
ate. I also ate canned tuna once in awhile. I occasionally had chicken
gizzards in butter sauce. I would bake turkey wings when I could find them.
I had seafood only occasionally. It's extremely expensive here so was a
treat, not a regular item on the menu.

I ate the cheaper fish Jaime. I like seafood such as scallops, crab and
shrimp, but couldn't afford it as a regular part of my diet. My husband
will not eat anything but baked or fried fish.

That's debatable. My husband's family wouldn't eat fish or seafood if
anything else is available. They just don't care for it. About 1/2 my
family wont eat fish or seafood either. Neither of my stepdaughters will
eat it.
