When you fall...get up again

[chinadoll]

This is not take two for me...more like take 12, but I know this works when I am working it so I am getting back on the horse again after a long hiatus from the board. I was playing with this--trying but not really committed-- and had a few things happen recently that are snapping me to attention that I need to be dealing with this in a serious committed effort. I know I need the accountability. So even if it is just liv and me rambling around in this vast ghost town, I plan to get my butt here to keep posting and working on this. (Hi liv)

So I will start by posting my daily food. I need to go the extra mile and do the candida route so my choices are very austere looking. Jill

I was thinking about what to call this round of my dieting and I decided that it is not round 5 or whatever. It is all just me on one journey. I have reached this stage and it is all a combination of all my other stages
Good luck Jill. Are you posting your eating here. I will do the same in the other tread. I am still doing induction level carbs

[chinadoll]

Hi liv, yes I will post right in this thread. Since there are so few of us it doesnt make sense to post all over the place.

I am just restarting myself and expect to be on the candida diet for some time. So it will look alot like extended induction. The plus of having done this before is that I know my tolerances/intolerances for a number of things and I won't have to work so hard to figure it all out. I already feel better (I know it is probably just a mental shift) even after Day One.

Oct 30
Breakfast
2 eggs
2 strips bacon
black coffee

Lunch
1 cup home made chicken soup with celery onion and green beans

Snack
2 slices deli ham and 2 slices cheese

Dinner
1 beef short rib
1 cup of the chicken soup
salad with oil and vinegar

water intake 80 ounces (that was a huge step forward as I have been ignoring water intake recently)

Total net carbs was 15 gr. I had very little fiber and need to correct that but just returned from a vacation and have not yet gone for a big grocery run. I never weigh at the beginning but plan to do so tomorrow then not weigh again for at least a month.

Dinner
6 ounce beef patty
1 cup green beans, steamed
1 pat butter

Well said Jill. This is at least my sixth start, the last time I lost 70 lbs in seven months while living in Ecuador. I have been back in the states three years now and put forty pounds back on. I started Atkins again on February 1st and lost 10.6 lbs in the first 21 days.

Keep posting, we all need encouragement
