Atkins and Low Carb Weight Loss
MONDAYYYyy!!! CARb Accountability Roundup Time
Pulling myself up by the bootstraps after 2-1/2 years of stupid eating... read my blog if you desire... I laid it all out there... now it's time for a fresh start, but this time, I don't intend to try to do it alone! I'll take help from wherever I can get it, and I'll offer the same in return! I started 2 days ago with the "induction phase/5-day pouch test combo"...
Yesterday I consumed 3 Atkins protein shakes and lots of coffee... mainly decaf.
Today:
Breakfast - Atkins shake
Mid morning - Atkins shake
Lunch - Atkins shake
Dinner - Too hungry and starting to feel weak after 15 minutes on elliptical, so I had tuna salad (Low-carb vanilla yogurt in lieu of mayo) and sugar free bread and butter pickles over chopped lettuce - DELICIOUS!
Snack - Lemon Ginger Tea
No purple on the Ketostix yet, but should see color change by morning.

Hey -- nice to have you here! I have done the five-day-pouch test as a means of getting myself back into induction before. As I recall it was pretty humbling to go through all those various stages of dietary re-entry from the start -- really reminded me of how far I'd come!

Honey, I'm home!
I spent a week in berryland. WW was not good to me tonight. I'm up a pound for the last two weeks, so I'm back with the white flag in hand. I didn't eat any other carbs besides some fruit. No grains, flour etc. I need to post everyday!
Monday:
4 oz shrimp
3 oz beef
1/2 packet protein pudding
2 slices bacon
1 chicken wing
1 T cream cheese
Pork Rinds

Protein - 97
Carbs - 6

Ohhh, I have gone berry diving before! Fruit is my downfall in the summertime. I mean c'mon -- grapes, watermelon, canteloupe, plums, peaches, and get this -- a fig tree with ambrosial fruit RIGHT OUT SIDE MY FRONT DOOR! And each of them babies is as big as my fist!!!!
(The endless fruit is also why I might go to WW for support but never lose an ounce doing their plan.)
Oh c'mon -- post your good and your bad along with the rest of us. We miss you when you're not here!

Thanks Lisa. I don't actually do the WW plan because I don't lose weight on it. I go to get weighed once a week and deal with whatever the scale says. I figure that it will keep me being honest long term about whether I have a problem or not, just like last week and last night. Last week I was up 1 pound and only shed 2 ounces of it last night. That means that I have a problem since I'm not even to goal yet.
Yup, I was a raw vegan so that I had a reason to eat fruit all day. I didn't really lose doing that either. Low carb is my bodies plan of choice.
I'll keep posting regardless of what I'm eating.
