Re: Missy's Menu... any suggestions???

Hi Missy,
That is looking pretty good to me. But I don't think that your carbs are coming from veggies mainly. Looks like they are coming from cheese. Are you using Fitday? How much carbs does that menu come out as?

My advice would be incorporating more veggies. Do you like zucchini - that could work with your breakfast. (I just found out I really like zucchini) How about broccoli? Cauliflower?
There is a good cauliflower dish from the recipe section that I just tried

I don't like cooked cauliflower, but I like broccoli. I don't think I've attempted Zucchini? So you think if I add more veggies, and drop some cheese, I'd lose more?

That is certainly a possibility.
See here how Zarabelle broke her stall by going back to eating veggies.

Since you are doing your exercises, you need your good healthy carbs.

Re: Missy's Menu... any suggestions???

If the Jello is sweetened with aspertaine - it is not recommended. Dr. Atkins thought aspertaine is a staller.

You can make legal jello. There is a recipe here

Jello is one of my trigger foods - I cannot stop eating the darn thing

Wow, I don't think I have had one question, that you guys couldn't answer. I ordered the book. I finally found it. It is shipping out today from Tampa, so I may have it as soon as tomorrow. I'm so excited! I really need that book.

Hello Missy,
Looks as though you're getting lots of help here. Fantastic. Yes, you should be getting most of your carb intake from veggies! Cheese can be a staller for some folks. Not saying you should quit eating it. Just keep it at 3-4 ounces a day. Just add your veggies of 2 cups of salad veggies and 1 cup of other veggies from the other veggie list, is what you're required.
It will be alot easier for you once you get a copy of DANDR 2002. That way you'll have the acceptable food list in front of you and have the book to help guide you.
Also, by using fitday @ www.fitday.com it will help you keep track of your food intake and ratios of 65% Fat, 30% Protein and 5% carbs (net Carbs) on Induction.

Gosh Sherri... How on earth can you go 12 days without getting on that scale? I can't even go 24 hrs. I weigh when I wake up, when I get back from the gym, and before I go to bed. I must be crazy or something.

Re: Missy's Menu... any suggestions???

Hey Missy,
It took the "No Weigh" Challenge that Jimmie had about a month ago for me to finally see the light. I'm so glad I gave up the scale. It really took up alot of emotional energy getting on it everyday. I would allow it to determine what kind of day I would have. Not anymore! As long as you follow Atkins to a T and exercise, then you'll get 100% results. I focus on that and how my clothes feel on me. Also the tape measure is a better friend to me now.
Try to just weigh once a week. It will save you alot of emotional energy.
