Hey Thomas!
You can email me privately if you'd rather not post here. My email is [email protected]. I'm just panicky that I stopped dropping weight like I did, and am actually back up 3 lbs. from where I was last Sunday.
This is what I am eating now:
breakfast: EAS Shake (between 6 a.m. and 6:30 a.m.)
Mid-morning - zone protein bar (9-9:30 a.m.)
Lunch: 3 oz. lean protein, 1 c. non-starchy veggies (12:30 p.m.)
late afternoon - zone protein bar (3:30 - 4:00)
Evening: 3 oz. lean protein, c. non-starchy veggies. (7 ish)
Before bed: EAS Shake (8:30ish)
I have been doing mostly salads, just because of the convenience of taking it to work, and grabbing something fast when I come home from the pool at night.
Tell me about your plan...maybe something will shake my body up again.
Thanks,
Marsha

Marsha,
There are two versions of my plans..one is the simple atkins method which you can customize for yourself on this weblink: http://www.atkins.com/Program/FourPhases/WhatIsInduction/Two WeekMealPlan.aspx
With that one, it gives you cusotmized menus that you select based on a limited amount of choices that come from this list of low carb foods which is here:
http://www.atkins.com/Program/FourPhases/WhatIsInduction/Acc eptableFoodsList.aspx
Make sure to download the pdf of tht list since it's so good at showing you what's good/bad
And you won't see much for 2 weeks, then boom, you'll see the difference on week 3....
OR...if you want to torture yourself, I've got my own super low carb programs that are customized for the sake of allowing very little carbs into your plan for 2 weeks....(near zero most days...) you'll be grumpy but the weight will fall off like mad... everyone who has tried it has broken stalls that have lasted months...and it's how I used to pull off tons of weight before I'd go gorge the weight back on me...hehe... So let me know.... I've got lots of different things in my arsenal.....
For both methods you gotta go buy ketosis strips....(TMI here)....you pee on them and check out the color... diabetics use them too..... (they will turn darker the more you're burning fat and releasing ketones in your urine stream).....buy those..test yourself and PM me with the info....
See ya Marsha....go check out those sites....good info there..but nothing as militant as mine would be on ya....

Marsha...almost forgot...go heavy on fiber bigtime... you can do the aloha nu-(brand) coconut fiber I mentioned like a week ago...it gives super amounts of fiber much better than bran or flax....then there's the flax....I live and breathe by the power of the flax meal and cereal... but the advantage of the coconut fiber is that it absorbs soooo much water that it's great for WLS patients that are having a hard time in getting in their fluids. The water absorbed easily counts toward the fluid ration you need to take in daily.

8 ounce fillet mignon, (4 of these)
2 tablespoon minced shallots
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon cracked peppercorns
4 tablespoon brand,
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup demi-glace, if you don’t know what this is, you can buy it, but you can look it up for a recipe on Google, but it’s easier to buy premade from a store. This is where I buy mine-----> http://www.morethangourmet.com/
1 tablespoon butter
salt to taste.
Preparation:
Season the fillet mignon and broil them to the desired doneness.
In the mean time, heat the butter in a skillet and saute the shallots and garli****il soft.

Rosemary Grilled chicken with creamy gorgonzola sauce
this is SOOOOO tasty....if you want to stop having boring food, then this is your recipe... give it a try and let me know how you love it... and remember..gorgonzola is strong...and can be tart... so don't put more than the recipe calls for!Start at the "gorgonzola cream sauce instructions" since that takes a while and you can cook the chicken while the sauce is reducing!...
5 Chicken Breasts (preferrably on the bone still to make sure it's very tender)
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary.
Extra virgin olive oil
Coat the chicken breasts liberally with the oil and rosemary. You may crush the rosemary if you want. If the chicken still has the skin on it, then place the mixture under the skin too! grill the chicken (or bake it if you don't do the grill) like you'd normally cook it...remember to continue to coat to keep from sticking if you grill it! So you know when it's done...NOW for the fun stuff....
Gorgonzola Cream Sauce ingredients:
2 cups heavy cream
2 ounces crumbly gorgonzola, diced (NOT “dolce”)
2 tablespoons parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons parsley
How to make the gorgonzola sauce:
Bring the cream to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium heat, then continue to simmer rapidly for 35 to 40 minutes, (I know I know, it sounds like it's a long time, but it's not...and Don't let it burn!****il it’s thickened like a white sauce, stirring occasionally.
Remove the pan from the heat & add the gorgonzola, parmesan, salt pepper. Whisk rapidly until the cheeses melt, add parsley, and serve.
