Dannon Yogurt -Carb Control ***Need advice

[1359jules]

Hi everyone........

Wondering if anyone eats this yogurt. I have always hated yogurt and I put a few nuts in the yogurt and it's wonderful. My WOE has been very slow and I have been completely faithful...........
How can you tell how many calories you are supposed to eat vs. BMI? I don't understand how that works. I was on this WOE a few years back and lost 40 lbs. I kept the weight off, and still needed another 30 lbs off. What am I doing wrong? I eat usually 2 eggs in the morning. Sometimes a few slices of thin bacon. I have a salad w/oil & vinegar and usually have chicken, bacon bits, and maybe dip into a bit of blue cheese dressing. Dinner is usally another salad, and a piece of chicken, hamburger patty or shrimp. Sometimes I eat 3-4 oz of cheese and I throw in some nuts here and there.?????????

Hugs

It depends what Phase of Atkins you are in. Yogurt is off limits for the Induction Phase, but it's okay for On-Going Weight Loss (OWL) Phase.

Some people who stay on Induction longer than the 14 days add nuts to their menues. However, nuts and seeds are the NUMBER 1 weight loss staller/slower downer in my experience as the moderator for the OWL forum.

You might want to post a detailed menu (including the amounts of the food you eat, the amount of water you drink, etc.) in the Review My Menu Forum.

Jules, have you read the book? It sounds like you aren't eating enough veggie carbs, no matter what phase you are in. To figure out your calorie needs, first you need to check your BMR (http://www.bmi-calculator.net/bmr-calculator/), then adjust it based on your activity level with the Harris Benedict Equation (http://www.bmi-calculator.net/bmr-ca...dict-equation/).

Best of luck to you!

Thanks for the info Adena. I will look at those links. I'm an extremely picky eater, but I'm trying to venture out........I've been working with a trainer at my gym, but she wants me to go off of Atkins and start eating like her...........
