What Did You Eat Today?

[Diva-07]

I am new, I lost weight on Atkins before but by mostly eating eggs, bacon, chicken wings, stawberries, and watermelon. I have recently been working out 5 days a week and I was on Weight Watchers but it seems to be taking forever to loose and with Atkins I know I will see results.

SO do you have any meal suggestions, quick and easy I live in NYC and I am always on the go.

Thanks in advance

It doesn't sound to me like you were doing Atkins. And that certainly isn't an induction menu. But if you lost on that then keep doing what works for you.

Diva, Unfortunately eating meat and eggs and fruits isn't Atkins. It might be considered some type of low carb eating, but it definitely isn't Atkins. Atkins is SO MUCH MORE than that, it's got far far more variety than that. Please don't shortchange yourself or your weight loss effort by not doing the plan as Dr. Atkins wrote.

I hope you will consider getting the book, Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution 2002 edition. It is such an eye opener when you read the book and find out why and how it works, and all the wonderful varieties of foods we get to eat.

Well thats why i am here to learn more, I printed up the carb counter and I use to try to eat the lowest carb foods to maintain at my 20carb limit daily. I have been eating healthier and workin out and just wanted some ideas of what I should eat on induction thats all I was thinking of changing from weight watchers.

Well, everyone's taste is different. Do you have a list of acceptable foods? It should be on this site somewhere. The rule I have is if it's not on the list I can't eat it, Period! Take a look and pick out the foods that appeal to you and go from there. As for me, I love eggs so I'll have at least four a day. I hate salads so I'll use my salad veggies in other ways (omeletes, tuna and egg salad, ect.). It's just a matter of what you like.

I SO WISH watermelon were one of the Atkins induction foods.

Do you have a copy of DANDR '02? I read it at night, before I go to bed. Over & over, like the Bible, which it sort of is my diet bible.

Best of luck to ya!

I always think it strange that watermelon is so much of a no-no when other melons like honeydew and cantaloupe come relatively early on the OWL ladder.

Since you asked....here is what I ate today.

Breakfast I had chorizo meat scrambled with 2 eggs and covered with a little cheese. I put a little sour cream on the top of it.

Lunch was a chicken and veggie stir fry.

Dinner was a hamburger patty with some mayo and a sliced pickle. Cut up cucumbers with some sour cream and a small salad.

I drank water all day long.
