 Re: New to Atkins Diet | |
Welcome to the Board.
Looks good... well, except the potato. You should be eating 3 cups of vegetables per day, with maximum 1 cup coming from the "Other Vegetables" list. Also, over half of your net carbs should come from vegetables.
Is your fat around 65%? You should aim for something like 65% fat, 5% carbs and 30% protein.
Congrats for the 5 lbs lost!

I believe that the best way to overcome temptation is not with willpower, which is so often in short supply, but with our brain power, a potentially unlimited resource.
Imagine that you're doing great, losing weight, feeling better than ever, thrilled with yourself, hearing compliments from friends and acquaintances---and then it happens! Despite all your good intentions, you're mightily tempted by a food you're not supposed to have. What to do? I'll tell you this: You'd better have a strategy ready!"
