Re: good fat bad fat SB Atkins grains starches life

Yes, we are all different! I also try to eat only food prepared from fresh. The exceptions of course are processed things like bacon and smoked salmon, which I love (in moderation) and a I eat tinned fish like salmon. Otherwise, it is fresh. The only bread I have currently is my occassional (once a fortnight, maybe) bake at home wholemeal roll, 13 carbs. It's just my little indulgence.

Portion size is very important, and is the area I a now addressing, eating less and waiting a bit to see of I am still hungry or not. I had got into the bad habit of having large portions of steak or chicken or whatever, and I am sure it was slowing me down.

The Atkins eating plan works, and all the knockers in the world cannot change that fact.

I love that we are talking about this you know

there is a ton of carbophobia and we need to let go of it and really say no to CRAPFOOD!!! seriously

Analog I buy wonderful locally cured bacon here and I adore smoked salmon....that is processed but processed locally ...I guess I should be clearer in my terms... I should say things like low carb cookies or box cookies ..crapfood ...things like that ...rice a roni... macaroni and cheese in a box...argh....that is the food I mean...kids should not be eating it either ..so why if we switch from a diet full of crap do we continue to want crap of a differant name ....

Low carb chips??? fry some freaking Kale!!!!! I hate that we are exploited because we want to make changes then when you buy this processed or low carb version of fast or prepackaged food what favors are you doing for yourself???

if you want low carb cookies go to the cooking thread find a recipe you like and make them ..then you can have some nutrition along with your fix....

omg did i hijack my own thread?

where is the moon you guys???? I think I lost control

Re: good fat bad fat SB Atkins grains starches life

I agree though. It's quite a paradigm, the accepted way most people eat.

Re: good fat bad fat SB Atkins grains starches life

OK AND ONE MORE THING...

if you are worried about eating stuff that is bad for you ..then also stop eating the same thing day after freaking day...do you know you increase your chances of toxic exposure and build up by doing that?????

a lot of little bits of bad things is a helll of a lot better than pounding your self with the same thing day after day....

if you are worried about pesticides hormones or heavy metals ...eat a whole bunch of kinds of things so you do not have one thing buiding up in you!!!

Re: good fat bad fat SB Atkins grains starches life

omg I have to leave before I rip in to the fake dairy industry ...creamer??? wtf is that???? and fake cheese...omg there is a world of cheese out there why on earth would people fake it????

Re: good fat bad fat SB Atkins grains starches life

LOL Fake Cheese!!! That was too funny, I always wonder about that 'fake' food, too.
As long as what you are doing to lose weight is healthy, I think its great. What freaks me out is when people want to eat NO carbs, just bacon and cheese. That is so not healthy!! You have to know and respect your body, and beleive that thin is NOT worth dying for. I would rather be a bit chubby and healthy, than thin and sick (or worse). I feel great doing Atkins, I am not at goal yet but I feel good about myself. There is no 'quick fix' for anything, the sooner that is learned the better.

Great thread!! Thank you so much.

Heidi, I have to go spread around some reputation before I can give it to you again! Woman, I'd give you all the reputation when you talk like this. I hear you on the crap food. I so totally agree.

I totally agree that there are far too many people who don't do it right and then blame the plan for their woes. It gets frustrating too when they won't listen.

Re: good fat bad fat SB Atkins grains starches life

sorry guys for flipping out but you know what I mean ..right?

it is like trying to say ...hey we all grow up in different neighborhoods and have different families ..but it is all about the same goal ...

and this is a very healthy way to get there if done the way it was intended and not through mass consumption

argh ..it has been a while since I have done this I think!!
