Atkins and Low Carb Weight Loss
Sunday Low-CARb Accountability Roundup!
Evening everyone! I got all confuzelled by the time-change. It seems that no matter WHAT I do, I'm losing sleep, spring OR fall LOL
Okay, for today:
B: eggs, which I didn't eat, and later fed to the dog (no hollandaise)
S: coffee with full cream -- hey, where's the protein?
L: vegetable soup -- already this is not shaping up to be a healthy eating day
S: tea while grocery shopping
D: half a fish taco (last night's cold salmon, with leftover salad, in a low-carb tortilla with salsa)
My littlest kid is seriously injured and recovering slowly at home, moping and crying and in pain, so I'm sort of tired and seriously disregulated, if you know what I mean. At some point today I had frosted fudgy brownie by the spoonful and realized I was going to make myself dump if I wasn't careful, so I stopped in the nick of time, but not by much.
Obviously this day's intake was seriously low in everything important -- But accountability is accountability. My big outing today was grocery shopping, so I stocked up on high-protein goodies and veggies that I like -- so tomorrow will be a better day.

V'N MY RNY. WORKING FOR ME BECAUSE I WORK FOR IT.
55 grams fiber -- is that right? Is that typical? I'm only asking because I can routinely handle about 15/day, otherwise --- problems!!!
Also, is it the carbs that are causing difficulties, do you think, or the calories overall? Just curious, because the whole thing looks about right to me.
Metabolism can be a bear!

Okay, cultural gap once again -- what is/are Ardennes?

The Ardennes region of France is the area where The Battle of the Bulge was fought in 1944/5. It is a pork pate made in this area. Delicious with bacon, stuffed in a chicken breast, or even just on toast or a Ryvita.
In Europe we are starting to recognise regionalism in a big way. So Champagne has to come from the Champagne area, Caerphilly Cheese has to be made in or near to Caerphilly, Cornish Pasties made in Cornwall etc. You then know exactly what you're getting, and reputation is made and maintained on quality. Every time I go to Cornwall I have to have a Steak and Stilton Pastie from one particular bakery in Looe. Nothing else will do, even though it takes me three days to eat it!
