          Welcome back, Betty

          did you get to visit exotic places you hadn't seen before or were you 'confined' to the ship?
          Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?
          Take a look at the thread from the latest Veggie Challenge to see how others manage it!

            Yes, we stopped at Key West and also Cozumel Mexico. Had never been to Mexico before, so that was special. And let me tell ya, there's no thrillride on the planet like a Mexican taxicab ride!

            All in all, a great time!!! Beautiful weather too .. upper 70s to mid 80s! And yes, I stayed true to Atkins maintenance!

                          Glad your cruise was FAB! So what kind of food choices did you have? I've often heard that cruise food is incredible.

                            So what kind of food choices did you have? I've often heard that cruise food is incredible.
                            Where do I begin? The spreads they put on aboard ships is unbelievable!!

                            So easy to stay on plan too, with omelets, scrambled eggs, sausage, bacon, ham, turkey with fresh fruits for brekkie, lunch was a buffet with fruit, a ton of good veggies to choose from and of course roast beef, ham, turkey, chicken, shrimp, etc. Dinner was outstanding .. always a steak choice on the menu, plus their gourmet entrees of the day which you can modify to make Atkins friendly (substitute the potato for your choice of veggies). Always a salad of the day, either spinach salad, or romaine, or caesar .. Then, the late night buffet .. I passed on that, as I don't like to eat anything after dinner .. but man, it was an incredible spread.

                            I can surely see how people gain weight on these cruises!

                              Now for the crunch - what do you weigh now, and what did you weigh the day you boarded the ship?

                              Welcome back
                              Atkins didn't say 'Calories don't count',
                              he said, 'Don't count calories.'
