Atkins and Low Carb Weight Loss

Topic: RE: What a GREAT dinner!
yeah, I only lost 4 lbs in Jan and I felt like I was too early out to slow down that much. So this will kick it up anyway. I don't crave carbs. Never have. But I want to keep losing, right on past my original goal of 140 to a normal BMI and if it take low carb, I'm there.

Price,
You've had a fabulous recovery. What you've been doing seems to be working for you? My favorite motto is... if it's not broken, don't fix it.
Do you feel like you slowed down and want to eat lower carb to help get to goal?
For me, I just plain feel better without the white stuff. They all make me crave more food. I can do ok with things like a whole wheat low carb tortilla occasionally but give me a white one and I want the entire bag, topped with a pound of cheese of course. You get what I mean.
I'm delighted to see you here, regardless of why. :)

Thanks Lee. I think I have been drug here kicking and screaming. Although I like this way of eating for the most part, part of it feels like a diet and I vowed to not have to diet again after surgery. However, it is working and the scale is moving and that is a very good thing.

Topic: Breakfast like a King...
Breakfast like a King/Queen
Lunch like a Prince/cess
Dinner like a Pauper
Have you heard that saying? I've read it in so many places. I've read that for good health, we need to eat that good solid breakfast, have a good lunch, then eat a light dinner since we're probably just going to be sleeping it off anyhow.
I always forget about that because evening is when I'm home/alone and when the "I want to eat a little more heavily" seems to strike me. I think I want to eat more solidly so that I won't be hungry and heading to the kitchen to wander around.
That said, there's lots of good food that's not heavy that would satisfy my needs. The best would be to just deal and get over those feelings, but for today I still have them. :)
I am already good at eating breakfast like a queen because I often eat leftovers from dinner which I guess would qualify as more hearty. I think much of the world eats things like porridge/oats etc for breakfast and would consider beef or other protein a Kingly meal.
I eat a good lunch, generally some sort of protein, chicken salad, leftover beef, ground hamburger topped with cheese, shrimp etc.
So now what about dinner? Eggs? Protein pudding? Cheese and cucumber slices? Green salad? Greek yogurt with a few berries? All Atkins of course.
Opinions? Thoughts? Validity of the King/Prince/Pauper theory? Just something to think about on this SuperBowl Sunday. :)

Hi Kathy,
I recently posted a review of this product because I love it. I get it at Costco for I believe $4.99 a pound. I need to remember to find the smallest ones because I often have to throw out the last serving or two because I get tired of eating it so many times in a week and I forget to freeze it.
I like steaming up a bag of Trader Joe's organic green beans and adding it to the pot roast for individual servings. I like the fiber that they add and also the greenness of them.
What you've done sounds delightful. Maybe I'll try that if company is coming. It sounds delish!
I love the Atkins way of eating too. Sometimes i just have to remember to change things up. Living alone and cooking for one, I tend to have the same things over and over and over.... :)

Topic: RE: CARb Accountability Roundup -- SATURDAY, woo HOOOOoo
I am right there with you on Fast Food restaurants. I actually like my own food better than eating out anywhere lately. So I was very surprised that I enjoyed that breakfast bowl.
Topic: RE: CARb Accountability Roundup -- SATURDAY, woo HOOOOoo
I like breakfast foods for dinner best. I actually don't usually enjoy breakfast out, let alone in a fast food place, but we are out of the house at 6:30 am and not usually back home until after 3 pm on the first Saturday of every month.
Until recently I could not tolerate leftovers, I would eat them and then Ms. Picky Pouch would send it right back up. I found a steamer boat on QVC that allows me to reheat most foods and enjoy them. So I reheated the leftover breakfast bowl and it was actually better than fresh. So I'm thinking of buying some for dinner once in a while since I can reheat them now.

Sounds great. Mushrooms and onionsa are my favorite veggie to add with beef.

I eat those often and they are yummy but I find myself wanting them after breakfast hours ( so not a morning/breakfast person). So my only complaint is that they don't serve them all day :)
