What did you eat today? 09/04

Janina, girl I ain't gonna tell nobody what they can and can't eat, but if you're on Atkins Induction, you are eating a lot of foods that are not allowed on Induction.  So if you are no longer losing weight, I would take a look at www.atkins.com and you can read the list of what you can have on Induction.  There are even certain Atkins products that you aren't allowed for the first two weeks.  Just because you are allowed 20 carbs a day doesn't mean that they can contain any ingredients and come up to 20 carbs.  Cane sugar and wafers are the same as eating sugar as far as the way your body metabolizes it.  And the only thing allowed in coffee is Heavy whipping cream or in an emergency, half and half.  Dressings are limited to not more than 2 carbs per serving with no added sugar.  And as for sugar, you have to read the labels for hidden sugars.  Other names for sugar are maltose, dextrose, maltodextrin, corn syrup, corn syrup solids, cornstarch...you get my drift.  So you can't eat anything with this in it no matter how low carb they are.  Not all carbs are created equal when it comes to affecting your blood sugar.

I'm not trying to tell you what to eat, I just don't want to see you trying so hard and thinking Atkins doesn't work.  It works great when you follow the plan to the tee.  I know cuz without it, I'd still weight 320 pounds!

I hope you lose a ton,

Mary
