Re: I'm soo bored with diet and discouraged

And to Beekel, thank you, I am focused, I'm not really craving anything. Like I said I'm just a bit bored with the diet, and I have lots of headaches! I'm trying to hold out, I guess I should find some more recipes.

That is the spirit!!
Have you tried to post a menu? I know it went well for you when you were 16 but time can really do a number on us and we may have to change things around a bit. Try telling us what you are having and maybe we have some ideas to help you.

There are many low carb diets and when it comes to extreme Atkins is not even close in my opinion. There was one really bad one a few years ago - it is still around - the people were virtually told to eat nothing but lean protein. It ruined people's metabolisms. We are aiming for a balance with Atkins. And we really only cut carbs very low for two weeks and then we add stoff back.

I hope you find something that works for you. I can tell you are trying. Hang in there.

How much more weight do you need to lose, Biba? What sort of metabolic resistance to weightloss did your first 14 days on induction show?

It might be time to move to the main weightloss phase of atkins and see how you do.

As for snacks, I know this is a sore subject, but the Sussel Stovers candies are a good "fix" when you want something sweet and don't want to derail your diet. They have not effected me in a negative way and have made this diet doable for me.

I love the "jalapeno poppers" that we can have. (Halved seeded pepper, cram cheese and bacon, bake till pepper is soft.) They really hit the spot fr me. I am about to try some stuffed mushroom caps with spicey sausage, cream cheese, green onions and spinich. I am thinking they will turn out pretty amazin too. Hope so.

If you need something for a microwabable quick snack, Tysons or one of the frozen food people make unbreaded buffalo wings that you can zap in the microwave at only 1 carb per serving. Check the back of the package to make sure about carb count though.
