No not super skinny at all. I lost 10 pounds and felt my clothes getting a little breathing room, but after a bad weekend i think I may have stopped the whole process! Is that what happens? I mean if you have a piece of bread and a little apple crisp does your body then turn into a carb burning machine again? Would I have to do induction all over from the beginning? What do you think?

Nope- you don't need to start induction all over again. When you cheat it does stop the process a little bit.. but it depends on your body. When I cheat I'm in ketosis the next morning. But that's me. Saying that however... I still get a stall when I lose. What I suggest is to just slam down the water. Maybe like 3 or 4 extra glasses the day after a cheat and keep your carb count low... that way you can flush all the 'bad' stuff out, ya know?
But your menu's look good- i'm gonna start a thread for me b/c I'm back on track too!
By the way- drink red wine- better than white for you!

Re: Kate's Log
Well thats good news! Too bad I ate half a ham, egg and cheese on TOAST this morning! ARGH! I was ready to give up and slide over to the Weight Watchers crowd. Begining right now... * NEW START.
I've been drinking the white wine 'cause thats what Atkins said to have. Hmmph.
I have GOT to start drinking more water. I don't know whats wrong with me, I like water. Since its been a little cold these days I have to let the bottle warm up on my desk first, then I forget all about it. Next thing its 4 o'clock and I don't want to start pounding the water down when I have to get on the train.
Good luck on your fresh start! MRS!

Re: Kate's Log
Listen, you are doing the right thing. No matter what program you are on, you are occasionally going to slip up. Eating 2 slices of bread in the morning didn't get you where you are today- eating 2 slices of bread, a bagel, pasta for lunch, w/ bread, popccorn & pretzles for a snack got you that way- so think of it this way- when I eat a piece of bread or something and i'm mad at myself.. i look at the big picture- of how many less carbs I'm eating now... & then i feel better.

Re: Kate's Log
Good point Dina. There were days that I did just that, then for dinner I'd look at the plate and comment to DH, 'Geez, everything is white! Can we possibly fit more starch on this plate!'
While I still dream about cake for dessert at night, I can't believe how I've gone cold turkey with sugar the rest of the day. I used to have a hot chocolate EVERY morning on the train (even in Aug!) and then put 3-4 sugars in my tea/coffee. I rarely even use the Splenda now.
Can't wait to follow your journal for ideas!

Re: Kate's Log
I was sooooo surprised with the pork rinds! I think I tried them ages ago and was totally grossed out. I had one last night while making the chicken and was surprised. And ya know the chicken came out crispier than ever!
I just got the neatest freebie on the street. Splenda was handing out little bags of Valentine Candy Conversation hearts! The total carb for the packet is 14g - Those are safe carbs right?

I wouldn't eat them all at one time- but I think it should be OK! Nice freebie :)
I love the BBQ rinds.
In Mexico they had a gazillion different flavors.

Re: Kate's Log
Kate- looking at your menus I'm noticing you're eating too much cheese. You're supposed to limit it to no more than 4 oz a day... So- I say- you need to maybe do something like each hardboiled eggs in the morning or get some of the atkin's bars from the GNC. Also for snack I would mix it up- peanuts aren't the best- get some Almonds and some Macadamias. Peanuts aren't nuts- they are legumes- not the best.
Also- too much jello in the day- not good w/ the aspartame- that may spike your insulin levels- it has that effect on people.
But the pink strips are good- as my nutritionist says- if you are changing the strips, 'you're in the game'
