Deseperate Newbie- Day 1 Tomorrow!!

Re: Deseperate Newbie- Day 1 Tomorrow!!

As far as crystal light - besides being made with aspartame it's also full of chemicals -- Atkins is about whole foods, so it's best to only have 1 glass if you absolutely have to....pure water is best - and make sure you don't have less than 64 ounces daily. I see you are drinking more than that but you don't qualify it as being pure water and since you say you drink tea, coffee & crystal light I didn't know if you were totaling that in your total.

Make sure you eat enough food - get enough fat in your daily meals - you'll do fine!

thank you- i drink about 3/4-1 gal of pure WATER per day + others...and i really dont drink ALOT of crystal light, sometimes I replace it in my gallon jug bc I work out hard and its a nice taste- but loosing it isn't a huge deal to me!

It's too bad that you're removing the yolks from your eggs they are actually very good for you and contain most of the nutrients and fats in an egg. Maybe you could leave two yolks in and make a cheese omlette. You might not taste them then.

The Incredible, Edible Egg Yolk

Hey Farley, I actually LIKE the yolk- i choose not to eat it bc it give me well....bad,...ummm...(trying to be lady-like) you can guess...so I leave it out! but i do replace the fat or am trying to!!

Do the benefits of the yolk outweigh the GI problems?

Unfortunately it does ( for me ) ,... Sometimes I allow a slight Amt of yolk
but one whole yolk and it's reaaallly bad news-

On another note just had yummy double cheeseburger one slice no bun pickles and a salad I brought from home with mustard ( reg ) dressing

anddddd half gal water down!!

Lots of bun alternatives if you are looking for them. I have fallen in love with this one:

3 TBSP golden flax meal
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 egg
1.5 tsp butter
1/4 tsp onion powder

Mix dry, add wet, microwave for one minute in a small round/square container.

Cut in half and use as a bun. I love it.
