Okay folks, here it is! I'm trying to bring my carbs up to about 100 for a few days, so that I can re-enter induction and slam-dunk a few pounds. This works for some other people, maybe it will work for me! These last ten pounds are hanging around like nobody's business!
in no particular order ....
eggs hollandaise with spinach
protein bar
greek yogurt
pickled herring with cream sauce (yes I really do eat pickled herring)
a facon-tomato-mayonnaise sammich
meat sauce over shirataki noodles
and of course all day long -- coffee!
It was still around 1700 calories and about 120 grams of protein.

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/
That was my sunday plan. To eat carbs and enjoy myself to get my body a starting point again. So today it was B: 2 eggs 2 hot dog weenies ( OM low carb)
S: 2 cheese sticks and sunflower seeds L: a few swigs off of a protein shake S:string cheese and another weenie or 2..D: Hamburger steak with cheese and low carb ketchup
I'm guessing my carbs are right under 20 today ...sigh I really need to get more motivated to keep up with things better oh and to get all my fluid in each day..it will happen sooner or later I guess!! But today looked great to me...what do you guys think????
