Anyone starting Atkins tomorrow! (16th March)

Re: Anyone starting Atkins tomorrow!

Oh, and I have not been able to find any spaghetti sauce that does not have sugar in it. Any ideas? The pizza bites sound great, but I don't want any sugar...Thanks

Re: Anyone starting Atkins tomorrow!

Day 1 and so far I have had a 2 egg omelet with 3 strips of bacon and onions - no cheese. I also have had some deviled eggs for snacks and so far 3 9-0z waters - I am feeling stuffed and bloated...so I am not sure when I am going to eat lunch. What is everyone else eating?

For those who don't know -- Linda's site is a wonderful recipe place with pictures for each meal...it is a must have to keep yourself from having the same thing over and over. Linda's Low Carb Menus & Recipes - Daily Menus there is a link for induction friendly menu's as well as things you can eat later. The stuffed green peppers are wonderful (my favorite) -- before I came to the Atkins WOE I wouldn't have eaten a stuffed green pepper to save my soul!

Ok - I'm awake and it's day 1. Going to have 2 scrambles eggs w/ham and hot sauce on top for breakfast - and 1 oz of raw zucchini (something else I wouldn't eat before!!).

Good luck to all.

Afternoon all, how is day 1 going for everyone?
I'm doing well so far, had eggs and ham for breakfast, corned beef salad for lunch and dinner is going to be turkey steaks with bns!

I know it sounds stupid but i'm feeling better already, i've drunk lots of my water and just 'feel' better in myself already!

Re: Anyone starting Atkins tomorrow!

Do a Google on Pizza Bites. Look for the low carb one. I just made some yesterday. It's basically pepperoni, cream cheese, spag sauce, mozzarella cheese, spices, eggs, etc. They are made in a mini muffin pan. Not bad.

Good luck everyone (and me) who's starting today!!!! How is it going????? Let's fill each other in once you've started! First three days are always tough! So let's motor through together!

Re: Anyone starting Atkins tomorrow!

Great - it seems like there are a few of us starting tomorrow. I cooked/prepped my dinners and a few lunches for this week today. I am starting the morning with some eggs and 2 pieces of bacon - lunch will be the mushroom chicken I found on Linda's website (it was marked 'induction friendly', and dinner will be steak, 1 cup of asparagus, salad with oil/vinegar/salt/pepper, hollandaise sauce -- I know I will have a snack so I am saving 1 cup of veggies for that --- any ideas about snacks I should have on hand? Good luck to everyone!

Re: Anyone starting Atkins tomorrow!

I started 4 days ago. So far have lost 4 pounds. I've done this once before about 8 years ago so here we go again. The first week is the toughest. If you can go a couple of weeks then you've got it licked. When you start peeing a lot then you know its working. I've read that for every 4 pounds you lose 3 of them are water. This is because a fat cell is 3/4 water. Good luck

Re: Anyone starting Atkins tomorrow!

Congratulations to all who have decided to start tomorrow (re-starting induction for me). This is a great place to get support, find a great new recipe, ask questions - what ever you need it's at your fingertips. The more you use this site the more it can help you.

I made Linda's Stuffed Green Pepper recipe for my dinner tomorrow night - I love them - crave them even...and I'm not a stuffed green pepper kind of girl - LOL. I made 8 servings (each serving is 1/2 a green pepper) - we'll have them tomorrow night (dh, mom & I) then I'll have 4 extra's that are already in the freezer. DH eats 2 servings and would eat 3 but it's too much - mom and I each eat 1 serving. I'll make a salad w/lots of veggies and 2Tbsp Hidden Valley Ranch and will enjoy every glorious biteful.

Drink plenty of water - at least 64oz - I run the monthly water challenge and see how much this really helps everyone. Exercise is also crucial when you are doing this WOE - Dr. Atkins says it's not an option - it is a must.

Good luck to all of us.
