Topic: Not enough Calories???
I know that when you do atkins you are not supposed to count calories, but I use fitday.com to track my carbs and such and it is inevitable that I see calorie counts.
So I have been doing Atkins now for four weeks, I feel great and have lost approx 12 lbs. But lately, and I understand it's normal, I am less and less hungry, so I am only able to consume between 1100 and 1400 calories a day. My activity has increased, but I am not losing. Do you guys think it's because I am not getting enough calories?? or is it's normal to stall?? I am keeping it below 20 carbs a day, but I have been adding some Zero calorie soda...maybe the soda is causing it??? Any suggestions on how to get more calories in??
Thanks,
Melissa

Topic: RE: Lemon Pie
Well... I didn't find the SF lemonade mix - I bought a container of Crystal lite but it wasn't nearly enough, so I had to use the sugar added lemonade mix - BUT - I did use Splenda.
So far so good - it tastes yummy. I used a regular pie crust which looks weird - it fell into the pan while baking... lol. oh well.
Next time I'll try something else. This actually was a mix where you premix the dry ingredients then when you're ready to make the pie you add the rest (eggs, cornstarch). It makes a lot - I really wish I could have found the SF lemonade, but it was a small local store.

Oh hey, happy Royal Wedding!!!
Buying a much-smaller wardrobe is one of the major expenses (and major joys) of bariatric surgery. And how nice to know that you are so successful that now others are looking to you for advice!

Topic: RE: Lemon Pie
That sounds yummy!!!
I might try making a crust out of almond meal (using a graham-cracker-crust type of recipe, since it won't "stick" together otherwise).
Please, will you let us know how it works?
