Atkins diet blog

Passing on my secret snack recipe! Everyone, please post your
favorite recipe!
I am fortunate to have a food dehydrator and have been making
my own beef jerky! Zero carbs and so delicious!
I buy sirloin steak on sale (of course!) and slice it very thin,
marinate in a big baggie with water diluted soy sauce for several
hours. Then, place in the dehydrator and cook for several more
hours.
FYI: The soy sauce says it’s zero carbs, but it’ too salty if I don’t
dilute it.
Snack on!

Have any of you ladies been diagnosed with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome? (hope
that is spelled correctly!)
If so, has it affected your Atkins diet?
I have been diagnosed with PCOS! I lost 17 pounds first 3 weeks and have
lost total of 31 pounds since Aug 18. Sharon

I just want to thank you all…… for your kind words, and heart felt support.
It means so much to all of us to feel good about ourselves, and you just did
that for me. At this time in our lives, life changes are unfamiliar to all in
the beginning, Your kind response is just what the doctor ordered. So i will use
it as advice and motivation to keep me going as a part of my life change.
Thank you very much

PS yes ED the weather is very nice, mid 80s to low 90s but monsoon rains will
be starting soon.(march and april) but the rain is very warm so you can
excersize and shower at the same time LOL Bye for now.

Hi, I bought a box of slim fast bars. It says in large on the box 2 gr.s
carbs. Then I was reading the back and it has 17 grams but subtracts 1 gram for
the fiber and i think 13 grams for the sugar alocohol and then another one for
something eles. My question is, is it ok to have the sugar alocohol?
Thanks, Lou

Hello all, today
i strated the induction phase. I printed off a 2 week menu from the
web, but i do not eat some of the items, like steak or veal. Can
anyone give me some tips on substitutions, and what do I do if I am
still hungry?

MY name is Amy and I am 27 years old. I need to lose a lot of weight. So I
want to try the Atkins diet. Just starting today. Any suggestions?

I am a 37 part time mom of three great kids (ages 17/10/8) and will
be getting married on Oct 30 in a gothic wedding.
I’ve been overweight since my first child when I gained over 70lbs
going from a 136lbs.
After my first divorce, I went down to 150lbs and was happy there,
but it didn’t last too long.
I have many health problems including recently diagnosed with high
blood pressure, just had a hysterectomy and gall bladder removal last
year. I have no spleen and am sick all the bloody time.
I have absolulty no energy and want to sleep all the time.
I’m looking into trying ATkins as a friend at work did it and lost
50lbs! and because it has fast results, something I need to see or
get very discouraged!
My fiancee is one of those guys with .05% body fat and can and does
eat anything and everything and we’re always trying to fatten him up,
while i’m trying to loose weight.
Looking for any and all support

Hello Everyone!
I’ve only been on the atkins diet three days, and i’m running out of
things to eat in the induction phase. I’m not sure what i can, and
cannot eat. Confusing things for me are 1. Sour Cream *has sugar added
2. Mayo *also has sugar 3 everyone tells me not to eat the atkins
approach breads/etc that it’ll prevent my weight loss. I am getting
SUPER frusterated with this, I’m beginning to hate the thought of
chicken OR eggs for that matter. And I know water is essential, but
is there anything else to drink besides? Help me!!!! =)
If you have any ideas at all for induction PLEASE respond Thanks Again
Halle

Hello All,
I have been on Atkins since 1/12/04 and I have started eating low-
carb prodcuts and also, eating sunflower seeds. And I will eat meat
with breading now…other than that, I am still on Atkins, probably
over 20g of carbs, but limited and still in Ketosis.
My thing is, my lips have been dark and dry and tight for about 2
weeks. I am starting to wonder if any of this has to do with my way
of eating.
Is anyone else, having any skin or lip problems….also I seem to
have pimples now…….could it be all the butter?

Boy oh boy did I fall off the wagon yesterday! I started my day at work when
a factory rep. came to visit our store and he brought us all some glazed
donuts and hand delivered one to me. Then I figured “what the heck, I’ve
already been bad” and I continued my day with some pizza for lunch and then
I had some noodles with my dinner. Add that to the sugar I put in my coffee
and the popcicle I had last night and lets not forget the gobstopper candies
I had at work also. I am feeling very angry at myself today, but I am more
determined than ever to pick myself back up and start over with a vengeance.
Looking for a new me …
