Atkins and Low Carb Weight Loss

Topic: Induction Seduction: Having Trouble Saying No to Quick WL
Ever found yourself enjoying really, really rapid weight loss during Induction, and been reluctant to add a few carbs here and there just to slow it down?
I've been eight days back on Induction .... carbs at about 40 grams net (for me this is really low). With the help of a 24 hour flu, I managed to lose seven pounds. Feeling like crud, the usual Induction Flu ... but very gratified at the scale, and in my closet (as things begin to fit as they should.)
I'm pretty experienced with Atkins -- been doing it off and on for over a decae -- but here I am, having trouble getting myself to stop the rapid weight loss. I know it's not good, I know I don't feel well because it's so fast, but ... unwilling to let it go.
I should go on to long term weight loss. No one can saetly and healthfully stick to rebven pounds a week, and I know that .... after all I'd vanish in no time at all. But .... It sure is hard to add a few crackers here and there, or more fruit, because it's so rewarding to see the weight loss fall off.
Has this happened to you?

Topic: RE: CARb Accountability: Wednesday Edition
Wow, I'd like to be done with Wednesday, right now!!! (It's Tuesday evening here.)
So you won't like this ... have you thought about maybe eliminating the pineapple with the cottage cheese, and possibly the Ryvitas?
(Ducking....)

Topic: CARb Accountability: Wednesday Edition
Wednesday, halfway through the weekly grind. I have next week off, so I'll be preparing food for weeks ahead and freezing it. Also I'm going to try salads again - wish me luck!
3 boiled eggs
2 Atkins bars
Ryvitas with light cheese triangles
Chicken leg and thigh
Cottage cheese with pineapple
Fifteen months postop - I'll weigh this weekend and decide whether I need to try something new or restrict my intake further....

Actually - that thing is fantastic... RTE - Hormel... I always buy them when they are on a good sale... as many as they have, as long as the price is right.

Hala, you made me hungry for beef! I haven't had any in a few weeks. I had the Hormel RTE beef a a few months ago..... it was good!

Topic: Beef - it is what's for dinner...
Craving red meats. Beef, and more beef. - yep. My iron is low. Or not high enough
I just ate 14 oz of roast beef. "just" mean 3 hrs ago... . And I am still full. Mind you - I have not have anything with it. Just beef. And it took me 1 hr to eat it. But - I loved it.
So next time when you ask yourself "what's for dinner"? Think beef.
As long as you can tolerate it. It will keep you full for hours. Will provide the proteins and iron. And - if it is done right - it taste wonderful... (BTW - I didn't cook mine, I bought Hormel RTE Beef roast in natural sauce... - it was on sale... )
