    If you can limit your pasta and bread intake then you've basically won the war if you're doing a low carb diet.

    Your in Hawaii!! I'm jelly.. What you're doing is basically atkins.. So, meat is your best friend... When I did low carbs I wouldnt eat fruit at all as it contains a lot of sugar.

    Hey there! I tried doing low carb in the beginning of the year, and I did it consistently for 2-3 weeks until I felt bored with everything I was eating. This is pretty much what I stuck to:

    Breakfast: Eggs with ham, cheese, some light veggies (onions, peppers)
    Lunch: Deli meat with dipping sauce (deli mustard) or a salad with chicken and cheese
    Dinner: Chicken with melted cheese or bacon, or a steak.

    Snacks would include Atkins bars, sugar free jello and string cheese.

    I took off 10 lbs in about 2-3 weeks and KEPT IT OFF. After that time, I was SO sick of eating the same things, that I slowly began to incorporate fruits back into my diet. Than slowly coffee with creamer. Before I knew it, I was back to 150-200 carbs per day, but still kept the weight off. It gets boring ;(

    I am winding up my 3rd week of low carb eatting. The key to succeeding in this is VARIETY! I usually eat the same breakfast of eggs, cheese and sausage, but I try to shake up lunch and dinner to keep boredom from setting in. Salads with meat and cheese, tuna salad, chicken salad are few of my favorite lunch meals. Steak, pork chops, chicken, turkey are all mainstays for dinner along with fresh green beans, cabbage, salad, etc. Google Linda's Low Carb recipes and menus for a ton of ideas that will keep on track for a life time!
