HOW Do you do the low Carb diet ??? I've never tried it before....I still have nutrisystems food left that I saved for after the holidays but man - I lose soooooooo slow it isn't funny. I really was rigid for 3 almost FOUR months.... and only lost 15. Anyone else would have lost double that.  |
Hi Villette...I'm doing Atkin's and it's really not all that hard. You get to have real butter, sour cream, cheese, eggs, meat, deserts and a lot of things people don't realize. The first 2 weeks are strict but it really helps get you in the swing of things. I've looked into South Beach but it seems more expensive than Atkin's. You can pick up a book just about anywhere. Basically, I have eggs of some kind for breakfast like an omelet (I love broccoli and cheese omelets!) and maybe some sliced tomatoes...for lunch I have a salad with tuna or chicken salad, cheese and a few other things on top...for dinner I have meat and a veggie. I love to cook so the food prep isn't a big thing for me. Tonight I'm having grilled salmon with oven roasted veggies, tomatoes and a desert later...see, not so bad. Mainly you cut out all white flour, bread, nuts, fruit, pasta and things like that but it's not as hard as it sounds. Oh, and I drink iced tea or coffee with Splenda, Diet Rite pop or water. I like Atkin's because you can buy 'normal' groceries and it isn't a huge change in your kitchen or routine...you just buy different things instead of potatoes, breads and pasta!
