Atkins and Low Carb Weight Loss

Topic: What a GREAT dinner!
I have some Harris Ranch Potroast with Gravy, very good, but was wondering how to make it more interesting. Plus I've been wanting to incorporate more veggies into my meals. So I carmelized some mushrooms, onions and pepper flakes in a little butter, added garlic, white wine, and a touch of glace that I get from Bristol Farms, and cooked them down till the liquid was gone. DAYUM that went good with the pot roast! And good stats too.
I love the Atkins way of eating, I tell ya!

Well, the lower fat connection is pretty interesting. What do you make of that, metabolically?
Yer carbs are real low ... isn't it interesting how calories aren't everything, are they! Wow!

Dinner time here and I want to eat EVERYTHING because I'm really hungry, so I'm posting my food so that I will stick to it and not have to come back to edit. :)
Morning
1 chicken thigh
1/2 tangerine at the farmer's market
Afternoon
2 oz chicken breast
2 oz cabot aged cheddar - very yummy
Evening
4 oz ribeye steak
2 T cream cheese w/packet of splenda for dessert
2 stalks celery
1/2 ounce pork rinds
Calories - 906
Protein - 80 - 36%
Carbs - 12 - 5%
Fat - 59 - 59%
Walked 2 hours in SF for exercise
I just want to say that I layed awake last night beating myself up because I'm less than 2 weeks from my 1 year mark and I'm still 14 pounds from losing 100 pounds which is my own personal goal. I'm trying to be kind to myself because being angry just makes me feel out of control and wanting to eat eat eat.... so I'm sticking to plan with eating and getting in my exercise and turning over the results and realizing that I'm powerless over my body's very slow rate of letting go of the pounds.

Saturday
pork skins, protein powder pancakes, stewed beef, almonds, ham, turkey
Since having two days with fats below 50% I've gained 2.2 lbs
. So far 
. Today I really wanted to say fkcu it and pick up my favorite snacks. I settled for cold cuts and coke zero as my naughty foods. Soda is no issue for me but I avoid the sodium. That's as close to a treat as I'm going to get.

Yannow, I have been on a fast-food rant for the last two weeks, just furious about it and what it does to kids, especially. But do you know, the Hardees Low Carb Breakfast Bowl is maybe the first -- I mean the very first -- fast food restaurant dish that looks endorsable! Thank you for having it LOL!

Phyllis, I want to know what's in Italian Wedding Soup!
Wow, I actually stuck close to plan, today -- and came in UNDER my carb goal! At this rate, I'll be into Atkins Flu in no time -- just in time, maybe, to administer final exams next week (which is actually a good thing -- I can sit there with my head in my hands as the students sit quietly writing out their tests).
I did in fact eat what I said I would, above, with the only exception -- no chicken salad was left for me, and I wound up having fried cheese with ajvar (instead of marinara) -- an even lower-carb choice and quite yummy!
Today's damage:
1450 calories
114 grams protein and
(drumroll please) 15 grams carbohydrate!!!! Yayyy!!!!
