How do you do it!

I have cut out white bread and try to stay away from bread all together. I cut down on pasta and basically all starches. I have definitely been losing but going on Atkins means giving up fruit even!!

yep i treid it before but was doing it wrong!!! lol (story of my life) lol But the induction phase you are supposed to stay on for 2 weeks you cant have more then 21 carbs a day. I basically eat
Breakfast eggs with steak sometimes just omlet with egg/cheese

lunch same (im boring) or tuna with mayo ina bowl no bread!!!

dinner piece of meat and small green salad (no tomato) you are allowed 3 cups a day dressing has to be sugar free i use eithe oil&vinegar with some italian seasoning or kraft just came out with carb free and they taste pretty good.

snack cheese sticks

and tons and tons of water

you really cant eay lunchmeat has alot of added sugars preservatives that is what i did wrong the first time.....if you stick to it you will get quick results i hung a pic of my dresson my fridge to motivate my @ss lol--and the saying nothing taste as good as success! --if you try it good luck and let me know how you make out!

Yes, it's HARD! But it works...I definitely needed to lose a lot more than 25lbs for my wedding, but I was lazy and even still lost that in a month.

before that I lost over 40 in like 2 months! I was also working out almost daily, but no starch, bread, sugar (even fruit) works. Plus, all you're eating is salads and lean meats (well I only eat chicken/fish since I'm not big on red meat) so how culd that not be healthy?

It's hard Dina...it is...but it works!

NO TOMATOES either??????????

I love tomatoes!

forget it... I'll just keep doing what I have been. maybe I'll kick my workouts up a notch or 2.

it is definatley hard but if you want it bad enough you can do it..i know this might sound unbelievable but once you are on it for a while your body dose not even crave that stuff anymore it gets easier
