Does anyone have any "sides" ideas? I'm running out :) Last night was frozen brocoli and califlower (steamed) with a slice of cheese on top :)

What else is good?

Well I just started yesterday! Does anyone know of any good red dry wines? Are semi-dry ones ok (after the first two weeks). I have heard and read soooo much of the benefits of a small glass of red wine I also wanted to be able to do this on the low carb diet. I have read some and know that the dry ones are ok but wasn't sure about the semi-dry ones and am not sure if their are any good ones (I tend to like the sweeter ones and know this will be hard if not impossible to find a dry one I like)! I hope someone has some advice!

Thanks!!!:D

I have a bunch of recipes for veggie sides. Are you picky when it comes to different types of veggies? I have some with mushroons, green beans, asparagus, cauliflower. There are too many to type-let me know what veggies you had in mind and I'll post some recipes. There are also different types of salads. I have a recipe for broccoli salad somewhere. I remember making it so I'll have to find the recipe if you're interested.

I like to saute' broccoli tops and red pepper slices. Sliced mixed veggies like onion, zucchini, yellow squash and red or green peppers saute'd in a skillet is good too. I like canned tomatoes when I have cottage cheese with a meal or even fresh ones when you can find good ones. You can also do a bake in the oven with different veggies like eggplant or turnips, that one is in the Atkin's book. Oh, the Atkin's recipe for oven fried turnips is really good...they taste just like fries! I love green beans too so sometimes green beans in butter with a little pepper hits the spot and the saute'd fresh spinach is great! Use your imagination but remember...don't overcook fresh veggies...they should still have their color and a little crunch to them. Hmmm...it's a good thing I'm eating my dinner right now or I'd be getting hungry!

Hi Marie...I'm doing the Atkin's plan right now. I lose weight very quickly with that but it's lo-carb so I don't want to stay on it forever. I'll lose the weight I want to lose and then maintain with something else like Weight Watcher's or by just being careful. I don't have much to go really...I've lost 6 so I have 15 or maybe 20 to go, depending on how I feel.

Just a warning that I experienced yesterday and today. With this diet you really don't feel hungry but you need to make sure you eat enough! Yesterday afternoon I exercised and burned about 300 calories, a while later I started feeling so sick and it lasted all night and I felt even worse this morning. I started to think about it...I think I only had about 800 calories yesterday and I burned 300 of them off. :eek: Not good! I did not do this on purpose.

Oh goodness! yeah, thats not good !!!! Ok, what I wanna know is when is the appitite going to go away??? Today is day 4 (3 pounds dowm) but I'm hungry ALL day!

Today I've had: (please tell me if I'm eating too much)

Breakfast: 2 hard boiled eggs and one string cheese stick
Lunch: a big Lettuce salad with brocoli, cucumber, chicken, califlower, and parmesan cheese shreded sprinkled over it with ranch dressing.
2 pickles and about 5 cheese cubes

Dinner : unknown yet....

chloeandj 01-04-2007 12:11 PM
I think you need more protein and fat with your lunch. I need to find my book but I believe they are key to appetite suppression.

Edit
I just saw you had chicken in your salad...hmmm, I'm not sure. If you have too many carbs your appetite will come back right away, maybe add more chicken and a little less veggies

Breny 01-04-2007 12:22 PM
So the trick is to eat more meat and cheese? Am I doing it wrong?

Breny 01-04-2007 12:24 PM
I'm looking at amazon right now...whats the best atkins book to buy?

you can get constipated :eek: if you eat too much meat and cheese without a balance of vegetables so if you are increasing your protein, be sure to have a supply of veggies throughout the day. also, protein and fat are supposed to maintain your blood sugar at a constant level for a much longer time than simple carbohydrates because they take longer to digest, which is why you shouldn't be hungry all of the time. Your body is probably still in the process of "cleansing" itself from before. At some point, you should not feel hungry ALL of the time

chloeandj 01-04-2007 12:34 PM
http://www.amazon.com/Dr-Atkins-Diet...e=UTF8&s=books

I would start with this one

Breny 01-04-2007 12:38 PM
I think I just like to eat all the time!!! ha ha :)

If constipation is a worry, be aware of your intake of fiber. I like to eat almonds which are a good source and the Atkins bars, they have like 11 grams of fiber. I don't have a problem but I know some do.

Also, I read somewhere that your stomache feels hunger pangs if you are thirsty too. Drink some water and see if that helps. THis diet is a diuretic and you will need more water than usual when you first start

I just bought a box of the cinibun bars your talked about, but have not tried them yet. Those have just 2 grams of carbs correct? They look good!

Oh and I bought some Breyers Chocholate Icecream and took a small spoon bite. (ok, 2 bites) Its GOOD !!!! I couldn't even tell the diff, and its made with Splenda.

I also went and bought Diet Rite. I'm a pepsi drinker. Its ok. Since I have to switch to diet its a big change for me but my husband LOVES it. Its made with splenda too.
I'm trying to drink only water and crystal light right now to clean me out. I'm doing 8 glasses of 8 ounces per day.

Before I started I drank almost zero water, so all the water I'm drinking now is a shock to my body! I was pepsi all the way!

You can buy the Atkin's diet book at Wal-Mart and most books stores...actually, you can probably still find it anywhere that sells books. that's really the only way to do the diet...by the book...until you learn the rules and you can wing it on your own. Remember, you can have snacks too. I've noticed a few wonderful benefits of drinking more water...the tiny lines under my eyes are all but gone and my skin is getting so soft.

I know, me too!!! So I'm drinking Cystal Lite with my water. Its says no carbs, so it should be ok, right?

chloeandj 01-04-2007 01:30 PM
Ya, crystal light is good. But you know what my favorite is? Sugar free Cherry Kool Aid! LOL

I also just bought some peach flavored sparkling water at walmart. It's pretty yummy too.

There's certainly nothing wrong with asking questions!

Ok I'm eating a Cinamon Bun Bar.......ahhhhhh yuck? I'm not digging it! But I'm doing it :) Well the carbs on the back say 15! But the front says net Atkin count is 2? So am I counting this as 2 or 15 ? I hope its 2 !!!!!!

bren 01-05-2007 11:39 AM
Net carbs is the number after you subtract sugar alcohols and fiber from the total carbs. Since it is an atkins bar and it says 2 net carbs it should be fine. 15 is probably the total number of carbs

chloeandj 01-05-2007 11:50 AM
hahaha! They are an acquired taste I think. I should have said, out of all the bars these are the best ones...I know they aren't yummy:p But with coffee, they do ok for me. Definately can't eat one without something to drink:p
