Not really bad, but bad enough where I stopped eating them.

I seem ok with other things made with almond flour like pie crust for low carb cheesecakes. The 3 minute choco cake with almond flour is not too bad. But the main thing is I don't eat that much for nuts except for an occaisional chocolate truffle from the freezer.

Last night I made whipped cream with splenda...it was so good with strawberries (about 3/4 cup berries). I know I should not worry, but it tasted sinfully good lol. It tasted better than cheesecake! ]]> Ongoing Weight Loss (OWL) jcapulet http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/ongoing-weight-loss-owl/83062-nuts-not-working-moving-berries.html http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/ongoing-weight-loss-owl/83037-week-1-owl-rung-1-a.html Thu, 19 Nov 2009 04:01:51 GMT Hello all :)

So I started the week off with rung 1 - veggies. I am not eating anything different than I did on induction veggie wise, just 5g more of them. My problem?? I'M STARVING!!!! I was full & satisfied all of the time while on induction... what gives?? ]]> Ongoing Weight Loss (OWL) lucyloo http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/ongoing-weight-loss-owl/83037-week-1-owl-rung-1-a.html http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/ongoing-weight-loss-owl/82997-whoosh-going-down-down-down.html Tue, 17 Nov 2009 20:01:28 GMT Okay, so I have to admit my last weigh in was less than spectacular, but I still accepted a loss as a loss. I do understand I may not always lose a lot of weigh in between weigh ins, which is part of the reason why I weigh in every 20 days. It's short enough for me to look forward to seeing my next results, yet long enough to bar the psychological damage done by weighing in weekly.

Anyway, I meant to post this a few days ago but lost Internet connection amongst other things. I'm happy to announce that I have lost an additional 7 POUNDS!!!! Now I'm down to 242 Lb and EVERYONE can notice.

It's so amazing hearing the "Wow" and the "James you look different" amongst other compliments. I'm loving it loving it and loving it. And for the people who tell me Atkins isn't right I shut them up by asking them one question "Oh really ... have you read the book?"

Looking forward to being under 220 very soon! ]]> Ongoing Weight Loss (OWL) James S http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/ongoing-weight-loss-owl/82997-whoosh-going-down-down-down.html http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/ongoing-weight-loss-owl/82975-ok-ewww-formerly-liked-food.html Tue, 17 Nov 2009 05:23:05 GMT So today I decided to move onto the dairy rung.

Having always liked small-curd cottage cheese, I thought I'd add 1/2 cup to my dinner, since I had half-and-half earlier with some tea.

It made me gag. I can't believe it. But then again, maybe it's 'cos hubby bought the large curd, and it was more watery than I'm used to.

Maybe I'll stay away from it for awhile. What a turnoff!

I've completed my two weeks induction where I managed to stick to the script inspite of having friends here to stay for a long weekend. They ate all the usual sugary high carb stuff while I stuck to my guns. I also made them take the leftover stuff away with them.

So on induction I lost 7lbs, which isnt bad as I didnt do any real exercise to speak of (a combination of induction flu and other stuff got in the way, as well as a bit of laziness!)

I'm now starting to feel my energy pick up, my clothes are getting looser (a great incentive!) and my skin feels hydrated.
I even sleep more soundly and feel fresher in the morning.

I decided to buy a wii fit, and last night I set it up and had great fun doing the exercises and playing some games. It certainly gets your butt up off the sofa and I can thoroughly recommend it :running:

So lets see what OWL brings. I've added veggies to my total and I like the sound of this cauliflower 'rice' so may try that today. ]]> Ongoing Weight Loss (OWL) Want_to_be_slim http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/ongoing-weight-loss-owl/82882-ive-started-owl.html http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/ongoing-weight-loss-owl/82877-what-happens-if-i-am-not-getting-enough-carbs.html Fri, 13 Nov 2009 21:57:54 GMT Just curious.. because I am eating plenty and am full satisfied when I finish, but when I run my reports..

I lost 10 pounds and am halfway to my goal of losing 20 pounds. I'm now eating 20-25 grams of carbs a day. Unfortunately, I got a bad cold a few days ago and while I usually bounce back quickly I still feel bad. I attribute some of this to the low carb diet and lack of some nutrition via vitamins from fruits and carb energy. I also read that losing weight quickly is hard on the immune system and can lower your resistance to viruses. What do you OWL's do for cold treatments? On a completely different note I was thinking about white rice. The asian food diet is based on it yet they are some of the slimmest people in the world not just a large percentage but like 99% of them. How is it then that they eat sooooo much rice which has a lot of carbs yet they are not seeing obesity in their society? ]]> Ongoing Weight Loss (OWL) highlandcaddis http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/ongoing-weight-loss-owl/82830-atkins-colds-rice.html http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/ongoing-weight-loss-owl/82752-carrots-ok.html Tue, 10 Nov 2009 01:56:24 GMT I want to up my carb's 5 gram's and was wondering if .05 cup of fresh boiled carrot's would be ok?

Yay! But I tried rung 2 (dairy) this week and I just cannot do it. My weight isn't fluctuating or anything, it is just making incrediably sick. I can handle some shredded cheese on my salads and what not as I did on induction but any increase of it, sour cream, etc...it upsets my stomach and I feel horrible. Has this happened to anyone else? Dairy really never bothered me before. I honestly dont miss it either. Am I okay to avoid it? ]]> Ongoing Weight Loss (OWL) Bazie http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/ongoing-weight-loss-owl/82704-dairy-rung-2-a.html http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/ongoing-weight-loss-owl/82674-dairy-rung-recipe-ingredients.html Sat, 07 Nov 2009 19:18:55 GMT I'm in OWL rung 1 but I've been making recipes that call for heavy cream or sour cream. Rung 2 says small portions of heavy cream or sour cream, which it is per serving. Does this mean I'm actually doing the dairy rung? I'm just confused because during induction you are allowed a very small amount of heavy cream.

I have no problem being in, or moving up to, the dairy rung, I just want to be sure which rung I'm currently in.

At one point during the month, my weight slipped to 191 for a few moments one morning when I weighed in but it has been pretty consistently 192 give or take decimal points.

I experimented with nuts this month, either peanut butter or almond butter no sugar. I have eliminated those. I just recently eliminated cream cheese which I have been eating pretty much all daily with the celery and cucumbers. I even mixed it into the sugar free pumpkin and cauliflower. That is the only non veggie or protein item that I have dealt with so that must be it. So sorry to see it go. I was eating 2 to 4 tablespoons or more a day.

No my measurements haven't changed either. ]]> Ongoing Weight Loss (OWL) mygarden http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/ongoing-weight-loss-owl/82667-one-month-plateau-192-a.html http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/ongoing-weight-loss-owl/82663-coming-over-owl.html Sat, 07 Nov 2009 14:51:42 GMT I've been on Induction for what seems like months. In reality, I had a big slip for almost 2 months in the middle when I wasn't on anything. :bang:

Now, I've been back on induction (-1 day) for almost 3 weeks again.

I'm moving on to OWL Rung One! :running:

I supposed I've been cheating on Induction because I usually didn't measure out precise half cups and cups of veggies. I like veggies, so moving on to Rung One seems to make sense.

So... here I am!

I've been really nervous about this, but I decided I have to look on it as I did with rung one and then all will be well.

Starting tomorrow, which is my 2-month mark. Down a total of 37 lbs from my Atkins starting weight, 58 lbs from my highest.

Wish me luck!
