SWR: Diet

Anyone ever done Atkins?

I started a few days ago. So far so good and I have to say, I feel really great not eating all of that bread and those cookies that I soooo love!

I've started it too. I don't like a lot offood so basically breakfast is scrambled egg whites - turkey bacon- for lunch an atkins shake that i always drank anyway even when I wasn't on atkins b/c it isfilling. Dinner is like grilled chicken salad or I buy one from the store. I snack on turkey through out day if i get hungry and vegggggies! I did it once and lost 20 lbs in 2 weeks. I was younger than but kept it off. You have to slowly add good carbs. If you do this as a quick thing and then eat carbs out of no where you will be in big trouble! Try to stay away from too much red meats and bacon and all that stuff!

I did Atkins a few yrs ago, and lost a lot of weight, but my cholesterol and ldl sky rocketed!
I remember the first two weeks I was a crying bitchy baby. Then I got over it.
I LOVED eating filet mignon all summer long. Yum.

I am starting mine tomorrow..Just went to the store to get eggs, meat and cheese.

I have a question though. Can I have anything in my tea in the moring (like some sort of milk substitue?)

How about soy? If you're in phase 1 you're not supposed to use anything. I personally cannot drink coffee black and can't imagine doing so. Tea I don't add anything but I know a lot of people like it with milk. For sweetener definitely splenda or truvia i'd say.

Thanks I was just looking it up and they said you can have cream in it
