My big brother said im gonna get fat eating buffalo wings

[sugarfree_lollipop]

We got food from the italian place and the only thing I could get that was low carb was the hot wings. I ate like 7 with some blue cheese dressing like uhh 2tbl spoons and my brother was like 'eating like that you'll never lose weight' and im like 'im on the atkins diet' and he's like 'the un-active diet'

he just made me worry that im gonna gain weight from the wings.

oh i got the akins for life diet book uhh i couldnt find the atkins diet revolution book at the library

now im gonna worry all night about the wings & dressing!

Stop worrying - if the wings had no breading on them they were fine from what people have said on here!

I just googled for them and found some pages with recipes for them - if you look at the ingredients you will see they are all on the allowed foods list.

you need to get into the habit of asking the staff at a restaurant whether dishes have flour, sugar and starches or grain in them before you order, or look the restaurant up on the web if they have a site and see if they post the ingredients.

Oh - and how about getting your brother to read the theory of how Atkins works and if possible ask him to help you stay on track in the future.
Dr Atkin suggested we recruit our family and friends to be our support team and help us eat to plan.

Re: My big brother said im gonna get fat eating buffalo wings

yep recruit that big big brother.

you should have a section in AFL that tells you what to eat in induction too.

Oh and if he tells you Atkins is the unactive diet ask him how required daily exercise can be unactive?

if you eat too much of any food even Atkins acceptable foods you will not lose so be sure to only feed your hunger and stop. if it takes 2 wings or 20 wings that is the amount you needed that day and are fine.

Happy low carbing.

Re: My big brother said im gonna get fat eating buffalo wings

Buffalo wings are sent from the Angels above LOL

I've been eating buffalo wings with blue cheese dressing (full-fat mind you, none of that "light" crap) a couple times a week and I've lost 73 lbs, my cholesterol has dropped, my blood pressure has dropped, I've gone from being sedentary to running 5 miles in an hour. Yeah. Atkins is gonna kill me.

Re: My big brother said im gonna get fat eating buffalo wings

LOL if that were my brother, Id tell him right where to plant em Wings are like the best part of this WOL, as long as their no breading, hot sauce really isnt bad, unless they are lacin it with sugar! Tell your brother to talk to the hand cus the ears are listenin!!

They are lifesavers at pizza places or when ordering from Pizza Hut.

Also, many folks have said to me "I can't believe you can lose weight by eating that", but they are stuck in that low-fat mentality. It is all about education.

About DANDR, go to a second-hand bookstore or Ebay, or Amazon, and you can get a used copy for very cheap. You should own a copy. Atkins for Life is good to have too (I own it), but that's for later.

Ands you are working hard to prove him wrong aren't you, if your wings were naked ( no breading) then you are good to go. Just remember to only eat the number of wings you need to satisfy your hunger. You could have tried the anti pasto tray for low carb items too. And a nice tossed salad no crutons would work too,

Re: My big brother said im gonna get fat eating buffalo wings

I have had wings almost every week that I've been on Atkins. I guess they must be bad for my health, seeing as I've lost over 100 lbs and my cholesterol, at last check, was 129.

Re: My big brother said im gonna get fat eating buffalo wings

I am brand new to this (this is my first post!) and I am in the second week of Induction. I am down 4 1/2 pounds in 9 days - is that about average? Not sure what to expect at this stage in actual pounds lost. I feel great, no sugar or carb cravings at all. I ate buffalo and hot wings 3 times last week and I was lighter every morning on the scale.
Go for it!!!! It is working for me!

Re: My big brother said im gonna get fat eating buffalo wings

Wow.. I guess I didn't even realize wings were an option. I'll definitely be eating them every week. A couple friends have been asking me to try a new wing place and I've been avoiding it, not even thinking that wings weren't always breaded!
