About to quit

[ScottQ]

I have had great results while on atkins, for the week and half I have been on it, but I cant eat anymore. I am so sick of meat and eggs, and everything else I am allowed to eat. I have lost 13 pounds so far, and I am always hungry now, but I cant eat. I have trouble forcing the stuff down my throat. I just dont know if this diet is for me. It sucks a lot. I am about to cook a pizza and rethink in the morning.

Well, I hope you hang in there. Look you lost 13lbs already that's a great start. Maybe you need to think of somemore creative foods to prepare. One of my favorites is 2 low carb tortillas with chicken and cheese on it and sour cream. They make great quesadillas!! I love them. I do now it can be hard at times but think if you just give up how you will feel. If the diets not for you that's fine but countinue with your goal and don't give up.

[ScottQ]

Yeah, I am going to rethink it in the morning. One good thing about this diet is I have become more active. I run everyday and work out every other day. Maybe that will be enough for me.

thanks for the reply.

[JENELYNN76]

Well, good luck. Maybe you should hang in for another 10lbs...lol.

Ok, but low carb tortillas are forbidden during Induction.

Scott, in the morning, perhaps you could post about what you HAVE been eating. Then we could make suggestions about things that are more pallatable......

Scott, you gotta hang in there! I was around your starting weight when I was your age and it slowly drifted upward the older I became. Way upward. All because of wrong food choices. This WOE has dropped 150lbs off of me and I'll always eat this way. #1 reason? Forget the weight loss, I just feel better. Better then when I was 18.

Want a pizza? Sure, we all do. So go ahead. A LC tortilla (La Tortilla Brand), some Hunts no sugar tomato sauce, spice it up with some herbs, garlic, cheese, peppers, meat.. it's all good. I eat these all the time. Even my 4yr old loves 'em. Delicious.

You can do this!

[Finelly]

Ok, once again, tortillas are NOT allowed on induction.

There is a recipe for a pizza crust using flax seed, I believe, in the recipes section.

But in the meantime, let's not confuse the guy...

[Driver8]

True. But it's better than the alternative.

Sorry for the confusion. I'll leave now.

Not to much trouble I guess eh?

You need to figure out why you want to lose weight. And figure if its worth the pizza or not.

Let the guy eat his pizza. We've all been there. He can always restart the diet. Sad but nothing much you can say to him.
