    Re: I'm about to quit after 15 days Carb-Free...

    Gillart - still no ticker. Make sure you copy the code for vbulletin, BB pgpbb, or other board codes. I use tickercentral.com and have never had an issue using this style code.

    As for the atkins way of living - the problem seems simple to me. VEGGIES AND WATER!! Read the book, it is so very enlightening and resourceful. Use the induction friendly foods list on atkins.com. Here is a link:

    Atkins

    Your dinner sounded great - except the almonds. Make sure you don't go over your veggies per day either. A rule of thumb I always used was a 2 cup salad or more for lunch with some chicken or a few slices of lunch meat, and a veggie with my lovely meat or protein dinner. I have had great results this way - but as another member posted, results differ for men, women, and sizes. I agree with this 100%. So watch your menu closely so you can see what works best for you!


    As a sample menu I eat 2 eggs for breakfast with 2 slices of bacon, and cook my eggs in a pat of butter and top them with 2 oz. of shredded cheddar cheese. I will have a nice salad with no more then 2 tablespoons of ranch dressing for lunch, then beef or chicken with an approved veggie for dinner. All throughout the day I have 96 ounces or more of water. Now and then I will have cheese snacks when hungry. I get a lot of my fat from the meat or butter I cook with. I lost 13 pounds my first week of induction. Try out a menu similiar and see how you do. Count today as day 1! Stay with us, and give this life style of good low carbs a try and see where it takes you!!

        People on this board are nice enough to tell you the truth - isn't that cool?

        Glad you're adjusting and hope it works out well for you.

          So I'm suddenly down 12 pounds in 22 days. 6 more pounds to my goal. New veggies and water regimen is beautiful. Veggies taste so dam good after 15 straight days of protien only.

            I bet they do! Even the most hardened carnivore would get tired of it.

            Congrats on your weight loss!

                        what a great thread gillart... it demonstrates so well that this board is of superb value. You were ready to give up and in such a short amount of time you turned it all around and are close to goal... Bravo.
                        Good for you for taking advice and acting on it and moving forward with a positive attitude.

                          Day 40 and I'm down 17 lbs. 1 pound to goal of 199. Thanks to everyone. In the next few days I will step on the digital scale and my weight will start with a 1 and I will be so happy, thanks to the support of everyone on this thread. I can't believe that I did it.

                            Great news.

                            What will that make your BMI?

                            What goal weight is recommended here?



                            What plans have you got to maintain your new healthy weight?

                            It's real tough love here!

                            But sincere congratulations. Well done!
                            Atkins didn't say 'Calories don't count',
                            he said, 'Don't count calories.'
