    My goal for next week is 5 lbs... I am gonna go big this week, see if I can manage to beat my goal again :)

    Does everyone stick to mainly protein or do you eat things that are healthy for you but have carbs like tomatoes? I miss tomatoes so much! But I am not willing to give them 8 of my 20 carbs I am allowing myself even though i usually only eat 13 or so carbs. So what do you all do? What is a basic day for you?

    P.S. Great Job this week EVERYONE!!!

    Christin -

    I take in only the "good" carbs - up to about 30 g. Here's an example of my daily plan:

    B: Shake (Homemade protein shake, 148 cals, 1 fat, 4 carbs)
    Sn: pepper strips, turkey pepperoni
    L: Salad w/ some protein on top - ham or chicken, some HB egg, 1 oz cheese, etc. w/ 1 tbsp dressing, cocoa roast almonds for dessert, or sometimes a SF Jello cup
    Sn: Atkins Advantage Shake
    D: Grilled protein - lotsa lean pork, chicken, etc.
    Sn: Green olives

    Usually works out to be around 1300-1400 calories, 25-30 carbs..... Not all carbs are bad - just simple carbs like those found in breads - pretty much any thing "white" except for cauliflower, or anything sweet like processed cakes, etc. Your body does need carbs, but you can choose to do the good carbs or the bad carbs.

    Tomoatoes would be a good carb, but since they are technically a fruit, they tend to have higher sugar content, and therefore more carbs....

    I am glad to be back on here too!!

    I can't believe that they deleted my account, but not anyone else. That is very disheartening as I got gang-raped, for lack of a better term.

    I will not be speaking low carb to anyone outside the confines of the walls of the forums where I KNOW people are doing some type of low carb lifestyle..................

    3.4 pounds for goal this week..............I have got to get out of these 200's.


    Yes, you are right. And a lot of people on this site could benefit also from the way we eat and be more satisfied too.

    I don't get it, I could never go back to counting calories and watching my fat intake ever again..........I have learned so much that my mind and eyes are wide open.

    I missed you guys too!!! I cried Friday when I was posting and it showed up for me, but not for the forums.................

    I can still get to my other page and log in too, but can't do anything except keep my stats going. Really sucks that they blocked me from the forums.
