my plastic surgeon gave me clearance to low carb it again ... YAY... (it's the only thing that REALLY works well for me)...

sooooo... if low carbing it works well for you, come join in this thread.

what works for me is...

- dont worry about calories (though i rarely go above 1200)

- dont worry about fat

- keep carbs about 10% (max)

Monday:

b - atkins caramel shake

l - 2.5 oz tuna w/ mayo, HB egg and grated parmesan cheese

s - atkins caramel shake

d - 1.25 pieces steak umm (ick), 1 pc mozz cheese, 1/4 cup mushrooms sauteed in butter & 1 wing (tequila lime)

i dont think i can continue low carb ... its just too restrictive for me and i end up binging on things i shouldnt have ... its the whole i cant have this, so i want it even more thoughts ... :teeth_smile:

sucks cause i LOVE most of the food ... and it is high cal/fat ... :rolleyes2:

good luck everyone!

Do..Amazon.com.

I'm sorry...misunderstood. They are Atkins shakes

I did pretty good yesterday.

B - 2 scrambled eggs with taco meat and sour cream

L - 8 kashi crackers, sliced ham and swiss cheese

D - salad and grilled chicken breast

S - cottage cheese and dry roasted endamame

Total carbs for the day was only 22, protein was 65, but my calories for the day were a little low. I'll have to watch that. I need to keep them between 900 and 1000. Was only 790 yesterday.

My carbs are up a little today at 45, (toast for breakfast and brown rice for dinner) but once again my calories are a little low (709). I'll have to sneak in some extra protein or a low carb slim fast to boost my calories.

Where do you get this dry roasted endamame? I keep hearing about it.

I don't know what it is, but I want something to snack on that's not

a bad choice. I see a lot of people eating it and I don't know what it

is or where to find it.

What part of the grocery store is it in?

I get frozen endamame from sam's. It comes in individual containers. YOu cook it in the microwave for 3 minutes and then eat the peas out of the pod. It is one of my favorites, and I think it is better for you because it is steamed, not dried. I could be wrong, but less sodium I think???????? I actually bought some more today.

The dry roasted endamame can be purchased online at either snackaisle.com or thru amazon. I haven't found them at any local stores, but then I live in a rural community.

I really like them and they have lots of protein and fairly low carbs. I keep some at my desk for when I have the urge to nibble.

B: 2 scrambled eggs with LF cheese

S: Beef Jerkey

L: Grilled salmon & spinach salad with grape tomatoes

D: Leftover grilled salmon and lettuce salad

Was hungry allllllllllllllllllllllll day but held off on eating too much. I weigh in with my surgeon on Tuesday.

losingjusme-gonna miss you on here!

Things went well today for me.

b-two sausage patties and 3 stips of bacon

l-1/2 cheeseburger pattie (no bun...little bit of ketchup)

d-the other 1/2 of the cheeseburger pattie from lunch...no ketchup

snack: 3-carb fudge bar, coffee w/Splenda, one tbs of spicy guacamole with 5 veggie chips. (these snacks were throughout the day...not all at once)

Ok, time for me to get serious with this low carb thing again. I am soooooo ready to be in onederland, but I am not going to get there on Starbucks and Sonic slushes. So, here I go.

So far today

B - Atkins Caramel Latte Shake

That's it so far, but I wanted to post to hold myself accountable.

Amy

Low-carbing has gone well for me today. However, I will be on liquids the rest of the day because I PB'd some breakfast this morning.

b-sausage, bacon, egg and cheese scramble (basically, these were the contents of a breakfast burrito from Taco Bueno). Coffee w/Splenda.

l-one tbs of spicy guacamole and about 3 Veggie Chips, hot raspberry tea w/ Splenda

d-chicken broth, hot tea

snacks: sugar-free jello pudding (6 carbs), 3-carb fudge popsicle.

Oh...I lost another pound. Headed in the right direction! DOWNWARD! Yipppeee!

I've done pretty good on the carbs this week, but the scale sure isn't showing it. I started logging in everything I'm eatting to see where I'm going wrong. Today I've had 30 carbs and 76 protein with a total of 800 calories.

B- 2 eggs, 3 strips turkey bacon

L- 5 Kashi crackers, one slice swiss cheese, 1 slice deli ham

D - 3 ozs. skinless chicken and 1/2 cup low-fat cottage cheese

S - dry roasted endamame

Nip50 where do you find dry roasted edamame? Is it in the produce section?

I've had to order mine online at either snackaisle.com or at amazon. I live in a small southern town and have trouble finding things like this.

Yesterday...

B - Atkins Caramel Latte Shake

L - 4 tequila and lime chicken wings and 1 cup steamed edamame

S - 2 beef and been nachos

Snack - 1 oz cheddar cheese

Hey everyone! I'm back from vacation! I had a wonderful time at the beach, but I'm glad to be home. I gained 2 lbs while gone, I really expected it to be more because I have lost almost all of my restriction. I'm not going to stress over the 2 lbs I gained, but I'm getting back on track today.

Losing, I'm really gonna miss you! The best of luck to you!
