today

[amrsalem]

Today,

1 egg white + 1/2 cup broccoli + half cup mushrooms.

Way too much peanuts ( 3 cups)

grilled chicken.

Whipped cream, i think. ( it is powder whipping cream and i add some water and mix it till itmakes whipped cream ) Tastes nice. About half cup.

I think i messed up my diet today dont you ? I weight 3 lbs more than when i did when i woke up this morning. However, i am going to run in a minute, 1 mile everyday.

Your input is greatly appreciated. Thanks

What phase of Atkins are you in?

If it's Induction, you shouldn't be eating those peanuts, especially in that amount, and a half cup of whipped cream is waaaay over the limit too. Your vegetable amounts are too low.

If it's OWL, the peanut amount is too much. Your vegetable amounts are too low.

If it's Pre-Maintenance: same as OWL.

For any phase, you've eaten hardly any protein. You've had more carbs, than fat.

I am in extended induction, or maybe OWL if u wanna call it that.

I still need to lose about 10 lbs. And maintain ofcourse.

Do u think that will affect me really badly ? there is a 3 lbs difference between what i weighed this morning when i woke up and now 7:00 pm.

1. Why just the egg white, and not the whole egg? The yolk has lots of great stuff in it that's good for you.

2. You said it yourself -

way too many peanuts

3. Throw a handful of spinach in with those mushrooms, if you wish

4. Have a salad with the chicken, or divide the veggies between breakfast and lunch

5. Are you absolutely sure it's whipped cream, or is it Dream Whip, Nutriwhip, or some other substitute? If so, it would be full of sugars and starches.

6. You need more fat (the egg yolk would help).

Seems like a very sparse menu. Drop the peanuts - you really don't need them. What you need is a pile of stuff from the Acceptable Foods List, instead.

Thanks alot,

i will go to the gym now. I feel guilty, everytime i lose some i gain it back, ut overall the posotive is that i am not gaining over my starting weight when i started atkins.

Thanks everyone.

If you are on an "extended Induction" then you have to follow the rules for Induction. The amount of nuts/seeds you can add is 1 ounce. 1 ounce is the limit for OWL too.

One day of this might not set you back, but if you persist, it might.

Re-read the book and start following the rules.

In that case you ought to start climbing the OWL ladder in earnest NOW.
Dr A said we should lose the last 5-10 pounds in premaintenance so you are cutting it fine by staying in induction still.

Read the OWL stickies and start to plan increasing your veggies by 5 carbs tomorrow!!

folks weight goes up and down all day long you can easily weight 5 pouns more in the evening them AM.


Good for you getting that run in

NOw move to OWL capped those nuts and get your foundation shore4d up with all those veggies and work on framing y9our House of Atkins with good foods from the lower GI foods on the OWL rumgs or you will be destined to be a yoyo dieter like the slimfast folk.

I agree - fried or poached eggs are not the same if there is no toast under them - so I make microwaved flax bread - recipe here: http://www.lowcarbrecipes.org/recipe...and%20Biscuits

1/4 of the recipe contains 1 heaped Tablespoon of ground flax and helps with any 'fibre' problems you may be having too.
