Atkins diet blog

Hi all.
My name is Keri and I am just starting my Atkins diet today.
My parents are on it (have been for 6 wks now) The both have lost
alot of weight. My Dad has lost 29 lbs and my Mom has lost 25lbs. My
Father has Arthritis in his neck and back and he says that it doesnt
bother him anymore. Normally he is in such pain he cant stand it. He
hardly sleeps at night. My Mom says she feels alot better.
So I decided I need to loose some weight too. Cant hurt.
This morning I decided to start. My drinking days are over and my fat
days are over too. I want to be back to my sexy appearence.
Here is what I had so far to eat…
Two eggs scrambled with thinly sliced ham (was for sandwiches) broken
up in the eggs. Right now I am drinking a big ole glass of water.
My only problem is giving up my Pop! I love my Dr. Pepper (which
doesnt like me) and my Hot Chocolate. I get up during the week at 5am
cause I am a school bus driver. That will be hard.
I need to loose at least 50lbs.
I took my measurements when I was done with my shower. So I will keep
track of that.
I hope to learn more while I am here.
Thanks.

i bought some atkins pancake mix and the endulge peanut butter cups.
when inputting the pancake mix into fitday it showed total carbs of 13.
however on the outside of the package for the serving size i made, it shows 8
net carbs? does fitday not subtract dietary fibers?? also, how do u input
sugars into fitday (the pancake mix says
tota fat 0
total carb 13
dietary fiber 5
sugars 1
fitday keps saying total carbs of 13!!!! when according to the package, it
should be net 8 carbs.
then when i tried to inputted the indulge peanut butter cups as a customized
food, i keep receiving an error message saying number of calories in the food
does not match amount of fat, carbs, and protein.
c=fatx9+(carb-fiber)x4+proteinx4
What am i doing wrong??

Has anyone tried this? Is it good? I don’t want to pay that much
for it and it have a weird or bland taste. I am kind of sensitive to
taste and If I don’t like it I won’t eat/drink it. Thanks in advance.

I thought splenda was the best sweetener for us! I am confused now! Sharon

Does anyone know how many carbs hot wings at chilis would be? I ate some
today and wondered if I messed up! Sharon

No secret here, the Atkins “brand” of supplements is extremely high
and even more so when you look at the instructions! Basic 3, for
example, runs about $20 at my local grocery. But, look at the
instructions on the label, gotta buy that sucker more than you think.
For vitamins, I’m taking the One-A-Day or men. (Has Chromium, etc.)
LOTS cheaper and you only take one a day. $7.99 is what our Grocery
here has per bottle. Much cheaper.

A couple of things.
For the folks looking at recipes might find this helpful.
The atkins.com website has a carb counter. Also, in the new diet
revolution book, there’s a handy dandy card in the front of the book.

If you download this, it should cover MOST (not all) of your common
needs. When fixing a recipe, just refer to the chart and the serving
size and then net carbs.
If you are on a budget, this is a great resource. Buy the cheap
meats, nothing wrong with them. But, when you go to use veggies,
etc., refer to the chart.

Well, I stumbled onto some information on Splenda (sucralose) that
concerns me quite a bit and I don’t think I’m going to be using the
stuff. I’ll use stevia instead, as I have been. Here’s the
