Atkins Diet semi rave

Started last Wednesday and lost 7.5 pounds. It's actually not that bad I guess once I can have some carbs it will be better.

Needed to do something quick I have my fitting this weekend and only 60 days until the wedding

ok i'm dumb.
on atkins what can't you eat?besides the obvious bread and pasta
and what can you eat????
can you eat fruit/vegetables etc???
help!! I wanted to do this starting in a few weeks!!!
I don't wanna give up carbs but i know it works!!!

The 1st two weeks no carbs. I've eatten alot of chicken, steak and beef. You can have seafood as well but I don't eat seafood. You have to watch some of the vegetables too because they are high in carbs.

When I want sweet I eat cherry sugar free jello. Salty I eat pork rinds.

Cheese, eggs, mayo. If you search Atkins you will find a lot of sites with different dishes.

In a few days I get to eat some carbs and more vegetables. I just hope I can last at least until the wedding but since I have stayed away from junk food I guess I can stick with it

that sounds like south beach?? I thought atkins was no carbs at all and south beach was were you introduced them after 2 weeks????

like what is a typical days meal?????

Nope just looked up all the info online. They have sugguested meal plans for everything

personally i prefer south beach. what i dont like about atkins is the amount of saturated fat you can eat.
but what i dislike about south beach is that is encourages fake sugar which is bad for you.

i think the best thing to do is eat naturally. cut out white flour and white sugar. and eat things like fruits, vegetables, chicken, nuts, fish, etc. easier said than done but i find that when i cut crap out of my diet, i also stop craving it!

Congrats to you!!!!!!

I've been trying to do my own version of Atkins the past two weeks. It's hard because my FH is on a strict heart healthy diet, and we live together. My diet as it was consisted of all healthy carbs (whole wheat), but now I've tried to eliminate all carbs, but not exactly eat all the fatty foods Atkins says to (i.e. I can't eat eggs, so for breakfast I'm eating egg beaters). I feel like weight isn't coming off fast in terms of the scale number, but I'm def loosing inches.
