so I am going on my first cruise on June 11. Can anyone who has been on one give me advice on how to eat Atkins friendly while on the cruise. I heard they have tons of good food there, and yummy drinks, so I am a little nervous.

Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

Here's ttdriver's experience:
5 day cruise and not a single pound gained

Bring your food list and focus on the food you can have. No doubt, you'll get plenty of exercise walking the decks and doing the tours.

You lucky girl! Guess it all depends on your rung, but you can bet the cruise will have teriffic salad & fruit bars, seafood & steak you can eat from, along with the tons of booze, pasta, and desserts you don't want.

Breakfast is easy! They will have someone there to make you any kind of omelet or eggs that you want. Sausage, bacon, ham should all be there. Fruits (if you are on that rung), cheeses galore. There will be burgers and such. Seafood, chicken, salad bars. Like Susan said, just bypass the dessert table.
Cruises are great! Have a blast!

My sister's shining moment was when she ate 2 Prime Rib in one sitting while she was on a cruise. She was so proud of herself. LOL

Cruises are great places to loose weight. Last year 2 weeks of cruising lead to a 4 lb loss. Just make sure the wait staff knows that you do not do cake/ice cream/etc. They will be happy to make sure you get fresh fruit, cheeses, etc. The abundance of meats, salads, and other wonderful legal foods should keep you more than satisfied.
