well ive got to the end of week one, & im very happy. ive lost
7lbs and not felt like giving up once (unlike my 2 previous
attempts). im full of energy and cant believe how easy i have found
it this time.having a low carb breakfast bar has been the godsend for
me, as i dreaded a cooked breakfast b4.plus low carb choc bars (that
taste just like bountys)have helped me through.and when i look at
what ive been eating im amazed. well pleased i gave it one more try.
it would be nice to see what others are eating on the atkins also.
breakfast 8.30 low carb brekkie bar. 4g
10.00 2 egg & mushroom omelet & 2 97% sausages. 2.6g
lunch 12.00 2 chicken legs & salad & mayo. 4.5
snack 2-3 2 babybel cheese & choc bar. 0.4
tea 5-6.00 steak, cabbage, mange tout,mashed cauliflower, gravy
pudding: sugarfree jelly with thick squirty cream.6.7
snack 8.00 choc bar (or 2). 0.4/0.8
extras 150ml of unsweetened soya milk ( 3-4 cups of tea)
although atkins says all cheese have carbs in , babybel doesnt nor
does edam. to help me choose foods, i bought the pocket collins carb
counter book, its relevant to english food & its my bible.im not
a big drinker so staying off the booze hasnt bothered me at all.
im sorry your struggling diane,what you say is how i felt b4, but one
thing i did change this time is how much water i drink. i was
drinking the 6-8 glasses b4 but i used to get really bad pains in my
back nr my kidneys, so this time im only drinking 3/4 & i dont
get the pain at all (nor the constant rushing to the loo). i cant say
that your doing it wrong, but i felt like that 1st time so i had a
carb blowout & started again. probably not the right advice but
thats what i did.
