Hi!!
Hello!! I had a question on one of the other forums this morning and someone recommended this forum instead so I thought I would try it!!! I have a quick question....This is my 11th day and the scale isn't moving not one bit...so I've decided to hide the scale!!! I was thinking about all I've been eating and I keep second guessing myself. I've read the foods that are allowed 10x to make sure I'm not eating anything "illegal". I know I saw tomatoes are allowed but I want to make sure. Also, when I need something chocolate...and I know someone is going to tell me NO, so I better get it out of the way...I've been eating a couple tbs of frozen choc whipped cream...the kind in the can. I guess that's probably bad isn't it!!! But it said less than 1gm of carb, Thanks for the help and look forward to all the support on here!!!!

Re: Hi!!
I usually get it from McDonalds....is that bad?? I don't know why I'm asking...cause I'm sure the answer is yes!!! Guess I should just nip that in the bud too!!! But I have only done that 2x in the past two weeks so that won't happen anymore. What about tomatoes...are those ok???F/5'0"=short!!

Re: Hi!!
I made the same mistake the first couple weeks, I was eating sausage left and right cause I thought it was totally legal (and i love it hehe). I didn't realize they had so much filler and sugar. Now after reading the boards and really studying the atkins book, I cut them out. I found some turkey sausage thats not bad. Once I did I started to lose much quicker!
Really, if you haven't read the book - you should. It'll really help as to what you can eat.
Good Luck!!Comment

Hi Megan!
Are you eating lunch? Be sure not to go more than 5 or 6 waking hours with out eating something.
I agree with everyone on the sausage. Be sure to check out the ingredients on them. I did the same thing the first time I began.
With each meal be sure to have protein and fat. Have you set up an account with fitday.com? This is a free site that you can plug in all your foods eaten and it will let you know how many carbs, protein and fat you have consumed. You should aim for 65% fat 5% carbs and 35& protein each day. That may be a help to you.
Happy low carbing!Comment

Re: Hi!!
Make your own chocolate whipped cream. I do for special treats. A little cream, some splenda, and powdered pure cocoa..omg, to die for!!!! You can freeze it or just eat it cold. A tablespoon will usually do me.....Started Atkins 2d time 6/20/05

Re: Hi!!
Be suspicious of everything that you put in your mouth, especially fast food. I don't know about McDonalds sausage and I wouldnt suspect they have any sugar but I would suspect fillers which generally are carbs.
You know you could cook up a bunch of Italian Sausage and then grab one for breakfast in the morning. That might help.
