  • You don't! But I did-I found that I was seriously dehydrating myself, and that was in spite of having always been a huge water drinker. Now, for the most part, if I want a coffee I do an Atkins Mocha Latte. Got just enough in it to satisfy that craving for me.

  • It doesn't look like you're keeping a food diary? Doing so would be a great start! There's a mobile ap if you're always on the go-makes it easier to keep track(and your phone can scan all the nutrition info right in).

  • Yes! Pretty much every day. Sometimes things change or get rearranged, but it's so much easier if I do it ahead of time. Otherwise trying to fit the puzzle pieces together on a whim makes me crazy!

  • I'm so sorry you're injured! You said you are unable to workout...are you able to walk though? If you are, that is great, gentle exercise.

  • I have Atkins Indulge items on hand for when I crave something sweet, but normally I crave things like steak-which I found generally means I'm low in iron. I haven't had many strong cravings, but if I do, I go for it. Then I go work it off on a racquetball court. Works for me.

  • All of the above! My body normally adjusts to the heat by the end of July. I just try to stay out of the sun during mid-day to 4:00. I hit one of the local parks for dog walk/bike ride almost every morning. Walk the dog again around 7pm. Kayak every other Sunday. Racquetball a couple evenings a week. I did walk on my…
