Atkins diet blog

Am I the only one that gets the foggy brain and confused feeling on
no/low carb??? I’ve tried induction several times but because of the
HORRIBLE confusion can’t make it past about the 6th day.. I have
given it time and not just quit- but the symptoms don’t ease up AT
ALL, If anything they get worse as time goes on with no/low carbs..
Now take into account that i’m a 911 dispatcher for a very busy city-
seconds can mean lives in my job- I can’t be ‘foggy’ when i’m trying
to serve the public and out police and firefighters (one of which is
my boyfriend-lol) because like i said, seconds really count.
ANYONE at all have these symptoms? And what in the world causes it?
Can i just NOT do atkins? Something in my body chemistry?????
oh btw, i do take vitamin pills to keep my levels up so it’s not
that…
Thanks!!!

the pounds”By Leslie Sansone and you do it right in the house
especially in bad wather I am going to try them again
soon….Remember when birthdays or mothers day Christmas and somone

a great idea ids are always asking what can they get me….
I ave some good news for a change Joan & I getting a puppy
(Schnoodle 1/2Poodle1/2shnauzer) we weren’t suppose to get it till
spring 2004..Paulette the Breeder e-mailed us last night and said we
would have our littlegirlJanuary!!!YAY that means we have to fly
down to North Carolina and pick her up…Its like getting baby..
If you would like to take a peek at what they look like go
to “SchnoodlesofBexley.com” you will fall in love the one we get
will only be 10″ tall and weigh about 8lbs……..

How often, and long do you guys think someone should walk to see the weight
slipping off??

Ok all i need to do is find a list for regular Atkins … but I think I’m going
to stick around for a few days and troy to remember all of the things I have
found to get me through induction especially when things got rough … I found
that I had to become VERY creative…
here are some tips … now many of these will not work if you are sensitive to
caffeine or sugar alcohols etc ….
example : when you are sick of tuna or other canned fish ( kippers ; sardines
etc ) and you need something fast … you can add salsa or ranch dressing ….
CHECK THE LABEL for carbs …. I know the ranch sounds gross … but it got me
through ….
I’m sure by now you have noticed that although we can all have all the butter we
want — what can we have it on, right? ( no bread– no pancakes — no potatoes–
etc) …. well I splurged and got a muffin mix from Atkins — I got it at GNC
…. I didn’t do it very often and I though of it as a way to have my butter
more than anything else…
there is a creamy garlic alfredo sauce I think its Bertolli –m not sure …
and I had chicken alfredo very often — without the fettuccine … also works
with shrimp.
at the end of my rope I bought a frozen dessert called “Le Carb” it is a tiny
little package — the same size as a Ben & Jerry … the cinnamon flavor is the
best and much cheaper than the Atkins ice cream.
this next tip will mean nothing to you unless you are from New Mexico or have
ever lived there … green chile & cheese … If you know what it is — you
know how to make it. you have to watch the carbs a little from the chile …
but you know that if you get the hot kind that it makes you feel full right
away.
I also found that when I started getting discouraged I would get a really big
steak. If it wasn’t the ‘best ‘ steak … the trusty ranch dressing helped …
\
Atkins makes a pancake mix …and at the grocery store I found a sugar free
syrup …. it doesn’t really taste like maple syrup … but it was pretty good.
and of course the cheesecake bites i posted the other day.
Diet Rite Cola ….. and if you can tolerate caffeine .. Diet RC —- Hansen’s
diet sodas …. Fruit o2 —-
I hope some of these things help someone — I know that induction got rough at
times …. if someone sticks their dessert in your face … eat a big
juicy steak in front of them with lo carb cheesecake ….
just hang in there — it will all work out remember this is not just for how
your body looks — it is for your body’s life.
** if you go up a pound then down a pound — it is a good investment to get some
keto stix …. it helped me get through when i thought i was a stalling

well I decided to go over the book again..I want to go over things I
might have forgotten…Last night my roommate Joan decided to have a
dove Chocolate covered ice cream asked if I wanted one I said
no …she said: “one won’t hurt” I felt myself weakening what a
struggle she even put it next to my bed..I went and looked at the
carbs…..26.WOW!!! no way am I putting that many carbs into my body
with just one piece of food…when I think of how many carbs I use
to eat…no wonder I am this heavy…I put it back with no regrets…
