Atkins diet blog

Hi,
Need some feedback here…any advice/knowledge would sure be
appreciated…..
Day 4 here. I have been skimming all through the new book and it
doesn’t say how much mayo or ranch dressing is allowed. It goes
against my low cal, low fat brain to put on more than a teardrop size
of these fats!
I got the gastric band because I was so out of control that I
couldn’t restrict my portions and have lost 40 lbs in 10 months. 700-
900 calories per day and didn’t realize until I read Atkins book that
much of the food that I was eating were CARBS!!!!
So that, combined with low fat etc, no wonder I have had a tough time
of it and several plateaus to contend with.
But, because of this restriction of my stoma, the protein has to be
ground up and either be injested as a soup or with tons o’
mayo/dressing….mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm … yummy…but I don’t think
that I should be eating as much fat as I am…
For example: I had 4 tablespoons of mayo to make my various tuna, egg
salads..and just the fat in that was 400 calories….and lots of
ranch dressing…about 250 cals worth…..
Not going over 1500 cals per day or 20 carbs for day…..Daily carbs
are more like under 15 or so but the fat is up there baby!!!!
Any suggestions would help..
Thanks,
Junzie
