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)

LJM - where do you get the atkins caramel latte? Is it premade?

the only place i've really looked for it is on Amazon.com. i have their "prime membership" so i get it 2 day shipped for free. it is premade

I also wonder about the Atkins shakes. Are they super sweet? Can't handle too sweet but would love to have something for a snack. Can they be heated so I feel like I am getting a "coffee treat"?

i throw it in the freezer for about 20-25 minutes and it tastes like a frap from starbucks ... soooooooo yummie. :biggrin::tt1::thumbup: i wouldnt heat it though, not sure how it would turn out. on the can it says to serve very cold.

Here's my meal plan for today, so far so good!

B'fast- low carb slim fast

Lunch- canned chicken mixed with a little mayo and a little storebought spinach dip.........yum

Dinner- plan to have a mushrom & cheese stuffed chicken breast

Snack- either some almonds or a low carb slim fast

I REALLY NEED TO GET BACK TO MY LOWCARB ROOTS!

I had a Wendy's chili for lunch with cheese......(it's all I've had today so far)

coffee w/sf creamer is how I start every morning.

Where do you get the ATkins carmel shakes? I see the chocolate and strawberry in the stores. Is this a powder you have to mix?

I've always pretty much been low carbing it.

ok I am on the LC bandwagon so here's my yesterday & so far today:

both days breakfast: 1 egglands best scrambled egg

snack/post workout: essential natural vanilla cake Protein shake

lunch both days: 3 slices of less than 1g carb honey ham lunch meat w/ 3 slices less than 1g carb havarti cheese

pm snack yesterday: Protein Shake and 10 mini fat free hard pretzels (about 15 carbs)

today will be: protien shake and 1 cup tuna salad

dinner yesterday: wendys baked potato w/ chili

dinner today will be either a Soup or salad, not sure yet.

Oh tell me more. I have been an atkins fan since the 1970's. You get all their stuff from Amazon? What else do they have that's good. Is that where you get the caramel too?

Thanks. I will check out Amazon after work. So do they have a whole section for Atkins products? Can you make anymore recommendations?

just search amazon for atkins caramel and you should find them
