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?

smmrpm · 01-03-2007, 01:43 PM

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!!!

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.

Not good! I did not do this on purpose.

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

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
