no no nono NOOOOOO!!!
Gina….
go to fitday.com and enter you meals in there….your goal should not only
be to stick to 20 carbs a day you should also be trying for these
statistics….
Calories - 10-12x your weight in calories — 200 = 2000 to 2400 calories
60-70% of these calories should be from fat
20-30 % should be from protien
5-10% should be from carbs
also BE SURE to take measurements…LOTS of times the scale isnt moving but
you’re losing several inches. Also mant people find that at their time of
the month, their weight stays the same or even goes up and then afterwards
they get a little WHOOOSH! meaning they drop a few pounds right after….its
really important that you keep you calories to at LEAST 10x your body
weight…it tells you’re body that it isnt starving and it doesnt need to
store any fat.
im sure i sound redundant saying this for the umpteenth time but these are
really import figures that i think everyone should know…if y’all have
heard it enough, just tell me to shut up!!! lol

yes thats exactly what im no-ing to — dr atkins states several times that
this is not a low calorie diet….its a high fat diet and fat = calories..of
course you can’t eat 7000 calories a day, but if you limit yourself to like,
1200 calories (unless your 120 lbs) you’re weight loss is most definitely
going to stall… many people that i know of who have been extrememly
successful with atkins and have been dedicated to this way of life for years
actually UP their calories to 14x their body weight in calories when they
hit a stall, when they start losing again (which happens quickly) they lower
it down to 13x then to 12x and then lower if they’d like. sorry if my no-ing
was a little extreme, lol
