I posted this on the "Review My Menu" area but got no response - any input would be appreciated.
I'm on Day Three. How's this look?
2 boiled eggs (at 6:00 because I'd been up two hours)
B: 1 egg
1/2 c cooked spinach
2 oz (cooked) diced beef (pretty fatty cut, yum)
3/4 c. sliced mushrooms
1 oz sharp cheddar
L: 6 oz salmon
1 T mayo
1/2 c. red peppers
1/2 c. celery
1/2 cup jicama
- for cooking - 1 T. coconut oil.
- it's only 11:30 and I've had 2 liters of water plus coffee (with a few drops of stevia) and some yerba mate (a "tea" from South America, very high in potassium & other good things, low in caffeine though it does have some). I will more than double that amount of water by the end of the day.
I am a veggie-holic and I see I have used up all my veggies already - now what the heck do I do about dinner? My carbs are still pretty low. I have lots of great pork, beef & chicken ready to eat (cooked at home). But it's hard for me to conceive of a meal without veggies!
* Update: For diner I wound up eating some of the yummy beef & pork (such a relief to buy the fattier cuts I've always craved!), with a half ounce of sharp cheddar on top.
I am new to Atkins but have been between 30-40 g net carbs for more than a month so I'm not having any real cravings, although I am a cook by trade and enjoyed inventing low-carb treats with quality unsweetened chocolate or cocoa & stevia, and am missing that, as well as nuts & yogurt but I know they're not far away.
Thanks for your help,
Sue
