I am so incredibly cranky

My whole low-carb/no carb diet thing is driving me to madness, SuzanneR? How are the sausages enough, all I want is an order of pad thai from my fave thai restaurant, if not that, I may just commit a violent crime tonight!!!! So NOT working!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just saw this post. Jenna, Sorry I didn't reply yesterday. I am so out of sorts today I can't even stand it. I can't even post, I'm old-man grumpy, I had a fight with FH last night, and I'm just over it.

I'm in a serious funk. It's funkdified thursday.

The one good thing I can tell you is, after a while, your appetite should really dwindle. Yesterday, all I ate was 3 hard boiled eggs and a sausage.

Of course, it's the only day I DIDN'T lose weight, so clearly I didn't eat enough.

So today I had scrambled eggs with cheese, and a different kind of sausage. Not turkey- PORK.

And like it has in my past, I'm looking to pork to make me feel better.

Just a tip- one of the awesomest things I have made so far?

Tacos. Regular meat, seasoned with the Taco Bell seasoning packets you get at the supermarket. (don't use the whole thing- there's carbs! You don't need the whole thing.)

then I use cheese, scallions, tomatoes, and sour cream and make a taco.

I put it on a romaine leaf! I know, it sounds stupid, but this is AMAZING, and it ;makes you feel normal again after all of that constant meat eating.

Also, do you have the Atkins books?? In the old school book, there was a recipe for Zucchini Nut Bread, made with Atkins Bake Mix. Of course they don't make the bake mix anymore, but you can use Soy Flour, and it kicks A$$. I haven't made it recently with the soy flour, but plan to this weekend.

Just remember, after you get through the first two weeks, you can let up a bit and have more controlled carb foods, like low carb breads and pastas. Just be creative! If you want, I can post some recipes. Let me know!

Good luck, Jenna, and just try to get through today. I'll be right there with you!

When I started this in 2005 it was really rough the first few weeks. Suzanner said it best though. Whatever it is that you are craving, make something of that flaver. You wanted Thai? Go to Trader Joes and get some veggie stir fry that is very low in carbs and season in lightly and that will get you through it. Lose the noodles though. After a while, you won't even crave carbs anymore.
