Re: Sounds TOO good!!

I went to Mcdonalds yesterday , I had a order of eggs, sausage, and then another order of eggs, cheese, and steak, (some mcdonalds have the steak egg and cheese bagel and I order it without bagel).
I had 2 bags of salad with Mayo and Blue cheese dressing.
And 2 hamburgers.
....Yes.... I agree Atkins seems too good to be true. I am not weighing in till dec 21st.

Sometimes I wonder, is the WOE too good to be true.

I think you mean 2 cups right? =) Two bags of salad is not only well over the 2-3 cup allowance, but is like 4 lbs of lettuce!! (well if you use the bags we can buy here in Calif lol)

(honestly it was 2 bags) but each bag had like 8 grams net carbs.

As a few people on this site have said, no one ever got fat from eating too much salad! Some days I expect to see long ears sprouting on the top of my head!

(salad is nice......but broiled steaks are better)

Re: Sounds TOO good!!

Amen. Frankly I like sauteed veggies better than salad, but I feel, I don't know, virtuous when I eat my daily salad ration (or over).

I seriously eat so much more vegetable matter now that I am on Atkins. Who knew!?

Re: Sounds TOO good!!

Quick question here about the ACE/CCLL value. If a person is on Atkins with an ACE value -as an example- of let's say 35, will s/he loose weight if s/he eats 30 carbs the same way as 25 carbs? The answer may be NO, but is it significantly different?
