This looks great today! Good job... maybe tomorrow no pineapple or oranges though. And keep it up with the water. If you can do 100 oz a day you will be losing tons of weight.

Re: Kate's Log
Ok first huge mistake of the day.... walking into the deli.
So I'm looking for a good snack and chose the salted cashews. And ate about a cups worth. Ugh, too much and sooooo salty. At least I'll drink more water now!

Re: Kate's Log
You are doing so good today.. keep it up. Next time get macadamias or smoke house almonds... cashews have the most carbs.

Re: Kate's Log
I got home too late to make my lobster bisque
DH made dinner and I did not touch the Penne! This is a big step. Even so, as I was staring into my bowl of greasy, fatty marbled sausages smothered in vodka sauce I can't help but think that the pasta is better me. I sure hope this works!

Re: Kate's Log
Passing up the pasta is a big step.. be proud. yesterday I started having an atomic fire ball- i spit it out 1/2 way through. You should get Ketosis strips & see what happens.

Re: Kate's Log
hey kate- you can eat more you know...? a 1/2 Cup of eggdrop soup would do nothing for me... if you drop the banana in the morning you can eat way more food.. just try to keep your carbs around 25 and then you don't have to worrry about quantity.. :)
I know it's hard getting over the eating fat issue.... there are tons of articles out there that explain the reasoning behind the science of why fat doesn't make you fat.

Re: Kate's Log
Hey Sassy! Ugh today was so busy from the minute I walked in. SO I didn't get to order my breakfast I only had a banana laying around from yesterday (you must think I'm a monkey or something! they actually come free with soup at the deli so other people often leave theirs for me too! )
I actually was full from lunch. I got chinese and they are packing them in these new plastic containers now but I guess its still the traditional pint size. so by the time I got to the soup I was full! It was so weird telling the guy 'no thanks' to the rice that came with it! HMMMM fried rice!
My big problem is the water.... got to drink more!

Re: Kate's Log
I know- it's so hard to drink & I'm so busy too it's like I have no time to pee & then I hold it until I'm going to die :) You're doing good though- just let yourself eat more or else you'll go nuts eating this way, you know? what about cheese? you should get some of those mini ones that are wrapped in the wax? I love those :)

Re: Kate's Log
Kate--- OK listen- no more apples or bananas... you cannot eat those.. you need to go to vitamin shoppe or lowcarbeating.com and buy yourself some breakfast bars.. those fruits have too high a glycemic index... but otherwise- good job...

Re: Kate's Log
I thought the V8 was good but read the bottle and it has 15g of Carbs! Whoa. Hope it at least makes me thirsty enough to drink all my water!

Re: Kate's Log
How much fiber, if any, did the v8 have.. to get the effective carb count you subtract the fiber from carbs... Throw the apples in the garbage.

Re: Kate's Log
You are doing really well.. I broke down yesterday and ate Taco Bell-- ayyyeee. But we were moving so I didn't stop moving from 7 am till 11 pm.. so i'm sure I burnt all those bad carbs away.

Re: Kate's Log
Thanks sassy! Don't worry, moving is no easy task! I'm sure you burned it all off.
I picked up the Atkins book over the weekend. I read it through induction. Looks like the next two weeks are pretty strict. According to the book, I can't even have those sugarfree jello cups, which I doubt I can live without so we'll see! I even bought some macadamia nuts, but can't have those yet either. I did get some Atkins bars. Didn't see the 'breakfast' ones persay, but hey I'm not one to pass up some LC chocolate and nougat! Its confusing though cause the total carbs says like 17g, then on the front it says to only count 2g? Starting to dislike the splenda.....
