Starting Atkins induction Diet Anyone want to join me????

[renewedhope 4]

I was just fixing to post that I had tuna for Breakfast and tuna for lunch. All I put in it was mayo and green onion. Sounds like I need some variety. Then here you are with my variety. You are too good. That really sounds yummy. I will have to try it. I really like tuna and it is such a good way to get in enough Protein. Thanks for the recipe.

Your welcome. Even my soon-to-be two year old liked it and he can be pretty picky.

sounds great. thanks for the recipe!

[so done with it all 1]

I started a Atkins type diet last weekend but I'm not really doing the induction phase. I'm still trying to pick leaner cuts of Protein but if I want cheese, I eat it or if I want mayo, I use it. I am anxious to see my weight on Tuesday since I officially weigh in every Tuesday morning. Even eating all the fat I want, I still can't get in many calories

Jan 21st 666 calories, 40 g fat, 14 g carbs, 62 g Protein

Jan 22nd 978 calories, 50 g fat, 6 g carbs, 119 g protein

Jan 23rd 782 calories, 36 g fat, 15 g carbs, 95 g protein

Jan 24th 740 calories, 42 g fat, 15 g carbs, 76 g protein

This is the 2nd morning that my scales have not moved. ARGH!!!! I really thought I would start losing faster by now. It is nowhere near TOM. I have not been exercising because of sick kids. I have The Biggest Loser exercise DVD's and they are really good. I really should get them out and use them. Maybe that is the missing link. I usually don't have trouble losing when following diet alone. I have followed this diet to a tee. Maybe it will start showing tomorrow. I probably need to stay off the scales for a day or 2.

How is everyone else doing.

its actually starting to work for me now ... i cant believe im finally dropping weight again ... i also cant believe why i waited so long to start low carb again cause it does wonderful things to me...

stats for Thursday:

calories: 1009

fat: 74g (68%)

carbs: 13.7g (6%)

pro: 65.9g (27%)

Planned today:

b - 1/2 serving Muscle Milk Peanut Butter Choc

l - hamburger with spicy mustard

s - 3 oz salami w/ 2 ounces of cream cheese

d - 4 oz beef smoked sausage

so far i am down 4.4 lbs since Monday. i need to stay focused and lose another 20 or so pounds cause the week i go off of Low Carb, i normally gain about 5 pounds and i want a net loss of 20 pounds.

That is great Losing. Surely I will start to drop again soon. Low carb has always worked really well for me, too. I have not been counting calories or carbs, or Protein, or fat. I have just been making sure I stay within the approved foods. I think I will count today and just see where I am at. However, I don't think I am going over in any catagorie.

Here is what I had yesterday

B - 1/2c tuna (tuna, mayo, egg, green onion)

L - 1/2c tuna

D - 1c taco salad (taco meat, refried Beans, lettuce, Tomato, cheese, sour cream)

S - Caramel Machiato from Hastings (made with sf Syrup and sf whipped cream)

I have not been driniking all of my Water. I will also make sure I do that today.

What tool do yall use to count your calories, carbs, Protein, etc????

[losingjusme 12]

i am being VERY strict in counting carbs. under 20 total (not net) a day. i use My food Diary :: Online Calorie Counter w/ Diet Journal & Exercise Log to count and love it. but there is a fee for it.

sparkpeople and fitday work as well.

you may want to check the counts ... even sugar free, if a coffee is made with primarily milk, thats quite a few carbs there. just a thought.

[BlooEyez 13]

I use TheDailyPlate to track my intake, exercise etc...

Had another off day yesterday ... upchucked my lunch Been on the go quite a bit the past couple days, today I finally get a break and hope to be able to keep food down. Good thing is my scale has moved in the right direction! I am down 4+ lbs since Saturday and officially halfway to my goal!

Glad to see ya'll are doing well!

By the way ... I am soooo addicted to these Atkins Advantage shakes! :redface:

[losingjusme 12]

wooo hooo Bloo!! sorry to hear about the upchuck. ugh!

[georgia girl 35]

I'm only down a pound, but it's my TOM, so hopefully that's why I haven't lost more. I really didn't technically start until Wednesday. I really haven't been counting the carbs either, just sticking to the food on the list.

Here's what I had yesterday:

B- low carb slim fast

L- cheesy tuna

D- 1 crab cake- 7 carbs (not sure if I should have had it, but the carbs weren't too bad)

S- 1 crab meat snack stick

[losingjusme 12]

georgia,

where did you find crab meat snack sticks?? yummie. were they really expensive?

[renewedhope 4]

Pamela,

I am eating the cheesy tuna as I type and it is very yummy. I am going to count carbs today. I think I will go back and count the rest of the week if I have time. I will be really suprised if I have not stayed within what is allowed. I know this diet works for me. I must not have gone into ketosis yet. I am not losing heart!!

Amy

[losingjusme 12]

you guys are making me drooool with this cheesy tuna talk!! :rolleyes2:

i'll need to throw together the recipe and see if the carb count for me is ok...

[renewedhope 4]

If my count is correct, 1/2 of the cheesy tuna is 100cal, 1.75 fat, 2 carbs, and 19.5 Protein. I am waiting till payday to buy groceries, so that is made with whole milk, ff sour cream, and ff cheese. I know Atkins doesn't reccomend ff but that is what I have. Hope that helps.
