Atkins diet blog

My problem is with the veggies. I really need a good list of very low carb
veggies I can keep handy to snack on. I have a feeling that the veggies, along
with the cheese, were completely undermining my carb intake, and I wasn’t aware
of it. I am getting ready to start again, but want to make sure I have enough
things in the kitchen to handle any cravings before I begin. I was off coffee
and tea for a while, but I just simply love the taste so much that I started
drinking it again. And of course there is sugar. I won’t drink it without
sugar, no substitute has ever been the same. So right from the start there are
things I can’t have, then take away juice and that leaves me craving first thing
in the morning. I know it is a mindset, so I have to get mine right before I
begin, but I desperately need to know what veggies have worked for others that
are terribly low in carbs. I detest celery by the way (same with liver) so
those two items just aren’t options for me.
Thanks for any suggestions!

I worry about the nutrients I will be lacking from not drinking milk..
What can I do to make up for them is there one specific supplement?
Or do I have to take a few, like Calcium, Potassium, etc…
Thanks

Yesterday, my cousin bought me a candy bar.. The brand name is Ross..
and it is Sugar Free, Low Carb.. it was 3 carbs…
Does anyone know anything about these Ross products… Since I have
major cravings for chocolate, I hope these are ok to eat.. because it
was pretty good, for Sugar Free, Low Carb Chocolate

Hi there all ,
Day 2 of induction here , doing good but I’m tired , my friend who
is also doing this says that is normal for some people until my
blood sugar straightens out . So anyhow , I had a question . What is
the point of stopping the caffeine ? I have cut down , but wanted to
know what will happen if I don’t stop it completely ? Also if anyone
here has kids …. did you all just STOP buying and giving carb
snacks to your kids? I’m not putting them through the NO carb
thing . I know that it want hurt for them to cut down though.
That is all for now , I’ll be checking in for support and
encouragement thanks a bunch all and good luck to you all

Hi every one. I’m Kristin. I just bought the book from ebay and am
overeager to get it in the mail! I can’t wait to get started. I had
never had to watch my weight and could pretty much eat what ever and
when ever i wanted (don’t you hate those people) and then…I had
babies. Ugh. I love those little ones but man what a job they have
done on my body. I hope to get these pounds off fast! My goal is to
lose 30-40 pounds. That seems like to huge amount to me as never
having dieted in my life before. I am gonna lean on you guys a lot.
Get ready…lol. I love to eat and usually eat 6 times a day.
Sweets are my friend. Plus, I love to bake and cook elaborate meals
when entertaining. Which we do a lot of.

Ive been on the induction for 6 days now. So far ive lost 6 pounds
and even tho im sure most of its water weight im still happy about
it. I got the book and ive went to the Atkins site and read tons of
stuff but im still a little confused about a few things. While on
induction you can only have the foods it lists right? I went to
walmart and they had some things that looked really good but i cant
do any of them until after induction right? No shakes, bars, or
anything right?
Before i started this i couldnt sleep for anything. I was
constantly jittery and uptight all the time. For the first 3 days
when i started this i felt awful to say the least. I had a headache
for 3 days straight. On the 4th day i woke up and felt like a
million bucks and i still do. I weighed 200 on the dot when i
started and my BP was 160/110. Cant wait to see what its like in a
month.

Hello. I’ve sent two emails introducing myself from my computer, and
am now going through the site. I don’t know if I’m on moderated and
the list owner just isn’t looking, or if there is a glitch and
somehow my emails aren’t getting through. Getting frustrated here
though since I’m looking for support like the rest of you but can’t
seem to be heard.
Blessings,
Patty
