In Phase 1 of Atkins you severely restrict your carb intake WITH THE CAVEAT that you also have a minimum amount of carbs off the "approved" veggies list to eat,…

  • I love my FitBit Charge HR - the heart rate monitor feature was really important to me, because I feel like it gives me a better estimate of my daily overall calorie burn. I think it's stupid to track fitness/calories based on estimates that are often wildly different from one site/tracker to another, so having that heart…

  • Cutting out sugar and processed foods/carbs completely. Takes about 3 days to detox off the sugar, but then after that the cravings go ALMOST completely away. Way easier to resist that donut then. ;)

Buy meat in bulk and when it's on sale, then separate it into more sensible portions,…

  • My Dad is 60 and has COPD, and I'm 240, and we LOVE those Leslie Sansone Walk Away the Pounds videos. They're where I started when I lost weight a few years ago (which I gained back but that's because I quit and started eating crap).
