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)

ok, im STARVING ... so far eating all LC stuff, but including dinner tonight, im up to almost 1700 cals!!

LC cheesecake, rotisserie chicken as Snacks... what is going on with me ... grrrrrr

Ooooooh, LC cheesecake sounds goooooood! Do you make it yourself or buy it already made? Oops, sorry....I was supposed to be helping you take your mind off food, lol! .....uummmm, about that cheesecake.....

Hey! I'm jumping on the bandwagon. LC completely works for me. I have been LC'ing it for several days now. Here is what I have eaten today:

Breakfast-strawberry whey Protein shake from smoothie Factory (made with Water, 50g protein, the Protein powder is 0 carb...but I did add peach slices with no juice...not too bad, huh?)

Lunch-1/4 cup chicken salad from Chic-fil-A

Dinner-Baked white fish (eating on this right now)

If I get hungry later, I will drink coffee with Splenda or Chai Tea.

Pre-band, a couple of years back, I lost 100 lbs doing LC but fell off wagon and gained it ALL back. It should be a piece of cake now that I have the band...:thumbup:

just search amazon for atkins caramel and you should find them

hmmm. suggestions...

the chicken from the other low carb thread was really good. you can get it at WalMart super center... cant remember the name of them though... just search for the low carb thread (its pretty big...)

I did a thread search on low carb and there were so many pages of low carb

threads. Do you remember the name of the thread?

well, LC is really working well for me. i'm down about 6 pounds this week so far.

I did a thread search on low carb and there were so many pages of low carb

threads. Do you remember the name of the thread?

i dont. if i have time, i'll search for it. Georgia Girl may know.

I did low carb before surgery and it works great for me. However, since moving to regular foods, I have been on carb overload and I am eating way too many of them! Can I join you guys? I did have oatmeal this morning, but it was whole wheat, so not the worst carb in the world to eat. I just feel better when I'm not full of carbs.

welcome allykat!
