Atkins and Low Carb Weight Loss
Tuesday? REALLY? CARb Accountability Rollcall, folks!
Okay -- we had some terrific brutal self-honesty yesterday, let's see if we can keep it up today!
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/
I'm cutting down on my portion sizes and will make up for that in Atkins bars, if necessary. I want to lose at least another 15 pounds...
2 scrambled eggs
4 Ryvita with stilton butter
2 sausage meat balls
2 parmesan and pork sausages - if necessary
Up to 3 Atkins bars
1 coffee and fruit teas.
Enjoy the day!

It's 3 parts stilton to 1 part single or double cream, mix until it's a smooth, buttery consistency. I spread it on Ryvitas, but you can spread it on steak (add some chopped mushrooms) or have it on toast. Garlic makes it especially sinful, but you can make chicken kievs with it, or mix it into sausages or meatloaves. Make it runnier and use it as a dip with vegetables! Keeps 2 or 3 days in the fridge, gradually gets thicker with time..
Yesterday went fairly well. I stuck to my plan with the exception of my late night snack. I did have a horrible headache late afternoon that tylenol wouldn't touch. I scavenged the pantry and fridge for my "healthiest" food remedy - I opted for one perfect strawberry dipped in dark chocolate. Within 3 minutes my headache was gone. It's amazing what our bodies can become addicted to.
Hopefully today will go as well as yesterday. Here's the plan....
Commute: Coffee w/ splenda & 1/2 and 1/2
B: Scrambled eggs w/ bean salsa & cheese
s: SF jello
L: Chef Salad
s: sunflower seeds
D: Chicken Salad lettuce wraps
lns: Celery w/ peanut butter
Lots and Lots and Lots of water. Planning on a 30 minute walk at lunch time. I've figured out how to use the radio on my smart phone so that should keep me motivated and entertained. I'll let yall know how that goes.

B ~ Coffee (Nectar of the Gods!) with almond milk, a couple drops of Pralines and Cream Capella and a teenie, tiny amount of coconut oil. I add the oil because I'm on Natural dessicated Thyroid and fat helps the absorption. ( I have a slow, whacked out thyroid)
L~ Egg foo young. 2 eggs scrambled add some ground beef and bean sprouts fryed in sesame oil and rice bran oil. Sprayed with Bragg liquid aminos. Super high protein, very tasty and super quick to make!
S ~ I don't know? After reading about Stilton butter maybe steak with Stilton butter?

B-Chicken breast and steamed broccoli
L- 2 boiled eggs
Snack- a few small cheese chunks
D-chicken breast and steamed broccoli
If I get hungry tonight I'll have a small salad.
I sure noticed today that I felt full longer than I have been. Definitely haven't been getting enough protein in the last several months.
