Atkins and Low Carb Weight Loss

Topic: RE: Chocolate: Do You Have Some Every Day?
Let me know how you like it! I figure it's a lot less carbs than other sweet options if you're really craving it. Thing about cravings is that it's tough to hold out forever so I look for better lowcarb alternatives.

Topic: RE: Too MUCH fat on Atkins????
Hi SassyScorpio!
I came to that conclusion too..... time to cut back on the fat. I had cut the carbs down and 3 weeks of induction did nothing. I was quite liberal with my butter and mayo intake (hangs head in shame), so I cut back 500 calories a day. I already lost 2 of the 6 lbs I had gained!
Are you cutting back on your fat also? I hope everything goes well for you too and that you can lose that 8 lbs. :)

Why don' t you just cut down on the fat and see if it helps?
I am in the same boat. I gained 8 lbs during the holiday season and even though I am going very low carb, it's not coming off. I am scared and freaked out!

Topic: RE: Chocolate: Do You Have Some Every Day?
My protein shakes are all chocolate in some form or another. I also have the cocoa dusted almonds in the 100 calorie packs quite frequently.
I don't drink coffee, but if I ever do, it's gotta have chocolate in it!
That's a great idea with the spenda and cream cheese. I am going to have to go and buy some
cocoa powder now.

Topic: RE: Coffee for Low-Carbers: What's the Story here?
I LOVE coffee but rarely drink it. Sometimes on the weekend I'll brew a cup of decaf. My surgeon keeps telling me no caffiene. I do indulge in a cup of Earl Grey every morning, then switch to either decaf tea or herbal tea for the rest of the day. I have a difficult enough time going to sleep at night after a cup of caffiene tea at 6am, more would kill me.
I tried to love the protein decaf coffee but had to spit it out. I just can't hang with any sort of sweetener in my coffee. :(

Topic: RE: Chocolate: Do You Have Some Every Day?
Today I had a Wonderslim Raspberry Hot Cocoa and also a Bodytech Dutch Chocolate protein pudding. So there's my chocolate flavors. I used to get a dark chocolate organic bar and break it into 12 squares, eating 1 or 2 squares a week. I quit doing that when my weight loss came to a halt. Maybe someday again.
If I'm really jonesing for chocolate I might take a tablespoon of cream cheese and put some splenda and cocoa (Dragoba or Ghiradelli) into it for a spoon of chocolate delight.

Topic: RE: Chocolate: Do You Have Some Every Day?
Here are some of the chocolate (or chocolatey) things I am likely to eat on a typical low-carb day:
1) Fox's UBet Sugar-Free Chocolate Syrup
2) Chocolate protein shakes of various kinds (I happen to like Dymatize)
3) SF Chocolate bars from Trader Joe's
4) Occasionally REAL chocolate bars, from ... wherever!
5) regular low-carb recipes infused with cocoa powder
6) Mole (pronounced Moh Lay, a Mexican savory sauce)
7) Chocolate/cocoa infused coffee
... I could add more, but why? I never skip the chocolate!
(On special occasions, SF chocolate mousse .... oh my!)

Topic: Chocolate: Do You Have Some Every Day?
A couple of days ago, we started a COFFEE conversation. Do you ever read the CARb Accountability Roundup threads? I hardly ever read one that doesn't list some form of COFFEE!!!
Now, I want to ask about the role of CHOCOLATE in your low (or lower) carb way of eating. It is a very rare day, indeed, that I don't have chocolate in SOME form, SOME how. And I noticed that almost every other CARb thread poster usually lists at least a little of some form of chocolate, too.
So howabout it, folks -- Are you finding a way to indulge your CHOCOLATE habit while low-carbing it?
