Re: 19lbs in 3 weeks!

Congrats!! I spent 3 days on the road while on atkins and that was tough..

hats off to you man..

Thats a handy summary for atkins on the go. Thanks.

Not sure on the ketone sticks but from what I understand the color doesn't really matter as long as it is positive. I think after induction you may not even register as positive. ... Anyone verify?

Thanks! yes it's been a challenge that's for sure, the last time I did this I was able to run and go to the gym so my weight dropped much faster before, it has been a bit difficult dealing with that but I am making it! I appreciate your reply thanks alot!

Awsome your losing weight fast! haha now i have to go get me a Dbl Qtr pounder w/cheese plain

I got another one to add to the list, Daltons Steak House - Prime Rib, Lobster with drawn butter and a garden salad with blue cheese and freshly cracked peppercorn on top of the salad! :P

That's pretty flippin amazing. On the road and you're on track!

Re: Deep Purple Keytone strips - as long as you're purple, you're burning. The shade of purple only indicates your hydration level.

Thanks for the info on the keytone strips, I have seen different asnwers around the net about that, the thing is that I am well hydrated and still showing dark purple, even when I drank 6 32 oz bottles of water the other day...but as long as it shows positive, I am happy!

Way to go dude! Don't forget to keep your water intake high though. If you can keep that rate of loss up you'll be there in no time

Thanks for the tip on the water, yea I drink quite a bit of water, I keep 32 oz bottles stacked and ready as I drive...I guess the water has replaced my old soda habit LOL...the pace has slowed down recently but this happend to me the last time I did the diet and it will all even out in the end...thanks for your encouragement!

Congrats ~ I am not sure but I was told the keytone strips need to be on the pale side ~ but pls do not hold me to this as I have been on google and each site gives me conflicting info ~ but I did ask a friend who has a dietian and she was told need to be pale on the sticks

Keep it up well done

hehe thanks for the info, I guess it's not so important as long as the results are showing still.

the darker the strip the more dehydrated you are -- you need to up your water intake. 64 ounces of pure water is the minimum daily -- nothing added but ice -- the more you drink the better it is.

Thanks! I always see you giving out good info! But yea, I was asking cause even with drinking like 128 oz + of water per day I am still seeing dark purple but im good with it as long as I am losing the inches

Grats bro! Sounds like you're rocking the house. I think it's best to avoid all taco bueno/bell locations in my opinion, just too many little hidden things. I absolutely must try out Subway's Philly Cheesesteak Salad w/shredded cheddar now that you've recommended it. There's one right beside my gym, so I usually wander over there after working out.

Thanks bro! yea I think I can add Arby's to that list as well, the only thing they have is mabey a salad ( but there dressing has sugar ) and I may order their breakfast burrito without the tortilla,,,thanks for the grats and grats to u too man!

From my understanding, the darker the stick, the better. Add bad carbs or too many and watch how it turns pale. Your water intake is wonderful! Drinking half of your body weight is key to weight loss.

Keep up the good work.

Thanks for the response!

Well, you sure busted all the excuses people use for not being able to lose wt on the road!!! That is fantastic that you lost 19 lbs eating fast food! Congratulations!

Thank You! yes it seems amazing but I have found it to be easier than when I used to live at home and cooked keke...the thing that amazed me waws when i first tried this on the road, i had a fridge in the truck so I went grocery shopping, I couldn't hardly find anything pre-cooked or ready to eat that didn't have sugar or corn syrup in it!! not even bacon! it really makes me think that the food industry is so much like the tabacco industry in that it is adding sugar to its product for the sole purpose of spiking ur blood sugar levels so u will get hooked on that product ( hehe ok my small moment of conspiracy theory!...LOL)

Amazing so far well done.You must be enjoying your food and thinking best diet ever thanks doctor atkins!

Thank you so much! I only wish he was still around so I could write him a letter or thank him in person, he has made change possible for so many poeple..if Al Gore gets a Nobel Peace prize for talking about cap and trade, I don't know what award on this earth could show our gratitude to that man!

FAST FOOD - TRUCK DRIVER (on the road) = WEIGHT LOSS !!!! Now that's really Allsome!! Congratulation!!!!!

Thank you so much!


UPdate: down to 302 as of this morning! so 31lbs total lost now

I am now pushing, lifting weights in the truck and bought a stair stepper that folds up and fits behind my seat...I want to be in the 200 club again...oh so close I can....ahem....taste it lol

Re: 19lbs in 3 weeks!

the best thing that you can do for yourself...and your wallet is get yourself a cooler that you can plug in atleast and pack it with cooked meats and veggies etc. and a small microwave. I was married to a truck driver for 14 years and I can't imagine if he didn't have a few things that he could take with him, not only will you be able to eat sometimes in the truck, because sometimes...you just can't stop if you have to get to where you have to go and sit for a meal in somewhere...but you need to eat. Get your company to instal one of those things that you buy so you can run these things, I know you don't have that much room, but it is amazing what you can make work!
