Topic: RE: Super confused
You need to rely more on meats, eggs and non starchy veggies and then it is pretty easy to do. Anything processed is pretty much out of the question. The induction stage is where you stay super low but after that 2 week phase you are able to up your carbs so it doesn't last forever. I'm sure the others will have suggestions too, it takes time to figure it all out. Good luck!
Topic: Super confused
So I got a book called "Atkins for Life" and I am more confused now then what I was before.
I knew that Atkins was "low carb" but this seems WAY more complicated then that. I am super discouraged and I dont know how you can get enough protein in.
One of my major sources of protein is from greek yogurt which has 17g of carbs in it. If I am only getting 20g of carbs per day that blows it!
Any suggestions?

Omigosh, you did make me laugh -- At one point, I calculated the quantity of groceries that I had stored on my then-315-pound body:
165 extra pounds of fat (probably not true, as much of that was additional blood and muscle required to sustain the additional mass)
X
3500 kCal per pound
______________________
577500 extra kCalories stored on my body
divided by
2,000 kCal needed by a typical woman per day
________________________
equivalent of 288.75 days of food stored on my obese body
THIS WAS OVER NINE MONTHS OF GROCERIES THAT I CARRIED AROUND ON ME, UNNEEDED!!!
Just wanted to share LOL!!!

Oh yeah there was more. That was up until lunch. For supper I had a beef satay stir fry over miracle noodles.
I have enough fat on me that I could conceivably fast for two to three months and be fine. lol
Also my morning coffee contains 40grams of protein and lots of fat as I add coconut oil.

Keep us posted and let us know how you feel!

Spinach dip with pork rinds, and a handful of almonds .... does not seem like an adequate daily intake -- Was there more?
I'm only commenting because, longer-term, this way of eating would not be sustainable of healthy.
Please forgive my abrupt comment ... I just worry!
