3 days and going strong!!

[Coach33]

I started 3 days ago and am doing well.. The ONLY breakdown I have had if any was I had a flavorded water that had aspertame in it.. I have a GREAT dinner planned for this evening.. It is Carne Adovda.. It is a recipie my bro sent me that has been on the Atkins Diet for 5 months and has lost 42 pounds.. He lives in New MExico where I grew up and the recipie is as follows:

He sent me a case of RED CHILE in glass bottles. You take some pork tenderloin and brown it and then put the meat in a crock pot and pour the chile inside. You let it cook all afternoon.. Later that day you scramble some eggs, POUR th emeat and sauce over the eggs and throw some cheese on top and wahlaa!! It is awesome!!!!!! (Have to pass on the tortillas like you usually eat them!)

Hope everyone else is doing well.. I still have not found out how to put a pitcure on my posts!

Re: 3 days and going strong!!

Good job on making it through the first three days, and beginning the process of experimenting to find new good low carb foods. I wouldn't worry too much about the flavored water as long as you drank enough non-sweetened water and counted it against your sweetner for the day. I am huge fan of red chile sauce -- spicing up foods certainly eliminates a lot of the boredome that could arise. Sounds like you have a good game plan for the day.
