The calories ARE off when I plug them in vs what was displayed on the treadmill. I just change the calories to whatever the treadmill says. Probably why they allow us to change it.

(at home) 1 oz half and half and 1 packet of splenda. (at work) 2 tsp non dairy creamer and 1 packet splenda (I hate the powder stuff so I try not to drink it at work but sometimes, like today I really felt like a cup)

I had a banana and a cup of coffee while at home and then around 10:30am I got the grumblies so I had a clementine. Lunch is at one so that should hold me til them

Look for the Great Value brand at Walmart. I think they used to have a white grape, but haven't shopped for it in awhile. Good luck. I didnt know they were discontinuing it.

For not so nutritious cereal, I love Rice Krispies because of the volume you get for little calories (1 1/4 cup for one serving and its 130 cal before milk. I can usually squeak by on 2 servings for dinner when I am lazy). For more fiber and grainage, I go for honey nut cheerios or multi grain cheerios. I can't get into…

Can of pot roast with veggie soup (160 cal), grilled cheese (140 cal) , serving of baked potato chips (110 cal) and a serving of baby carrots (35 cal). Winter arrived tonight (its 20 degrees and snowing) and I wanted comfort food. I am warm, satisfied and ready to go snuggle under a flannel blanket with the kitties!

Campbells Light New England pot toast and vegetable soup (160 cal), grilled cheese (115 cals) and if I need a little more, I'll dig into some marinated asparagus that is 10 calories per 6 spears. That'll leave me almost 400 calories for munchies if I need them.

Definitely yes!!! For 8 years I low carbed and hadn't had anything in the way of bread, chips, rice etc and now I am having a BALL having baked chips, whole grain breads, brown rice, etc. along with my steamed veggies and proteins!!! When I get tired of this way of eating I will probably go back to LC since I was able to…

1200 calories a day for me.....most days I am under my goal (by 50-100 cals) but I try to eat close to it. I started Oct 17 2011 and I have lost 21 pounds. I have 17 more to go for my first goal. I will reevaluate then. I have some clothes I am trying to get back into and on Low Carb I fit into them at a certain weight. I…

You're not gonna like my answer but..... IF you go without long enough, you stop craving it. <ducks from flying tomatoes> When I did low carb, and abstained from sugar....it was a little rough the first few weeks, but the more I stuck with it, the less I wanted and craved sweet things. I then noticed how certain veggies…

cheese mayo olive oil eggs burgers black olives salad dressing sausages/pepperoni Not sure why you're so low on cals....I never had a problem eating 1500 or more a day. Remember....this plan is not like you're used to. YOU CAN EAT!! Just watch the carbs.....don't worry too much about the calories UNLESS you seem to be…

I lost 20 pounds without exercise. This last pound fell off yesterday after I walked Friday and Saturday. Is it a coincidence? Could be. Could I continue losing without exercise? Of course. I just feel walking is good for my heart and my DR said its good for lowering my cholesterol, which is in the normal range NOW but the…

Green giant have fantastic frozen veggies that steam in the bag. They are what I eat 99% of the time. 5 minutes and you have a whole bag of chopped broccoli or green beans or whatever you want without much effort. If I want flavor later, I just spray ICBINB spray on my serving and then sprinkle on some garlic powder. No…

I don't follow a plan but I try to make good choices. I low carbed before counting calories so I know to eat plenty of lean meats, go easy on the dairy, lots of veggies and fruits for snacks and choose whole grain fiberous items. I supplement with baked snacks like cheetos and pretzels, special k chips and 100 calorie…

Best advice ever: READ THE BOOK. If you're going to do it right, do it the way it's written. Any other way and it's not Atkins. Good luck and keep us posted on your progress!!!

funkycamper Where is the LIKE button!! Very awesome post!!

This is the funniest post I have ever read about Low carb! Oh...my...I can't stop laughing!!!

I was on Atkins for 8 years. The first two weeks are definintely NOT no carbs. You get your carbs mostly from veggies. I ate way more veggies on Atkins than I even do now on low calorie LOL I say read the book, learn it, then do it. It's very healthy (if you do it by the book and not the way people actually think it is).…

Back when I LC'ed, I made deviled eggs, ate low carb yogurt (Kroger brand), deli meat such as turkey or ham, or left over meat from dinner the night before. I never got tired of eggs so scrambled, hard boiled, deviled were always my go to breakfast. There is also a nice cottage cheese out there called Michigan Brand. It…

I can't post....you all seem to have "normal people" binges. Mine would last all day when I let it! The amounts of food I ate were ridiculous! I counted the calories for grins one time...it was off the charts. I did have an unhealthy relationship with food. Working like crazy to change that.

My go to snacks of late: Winky black cherry gel bites (walmart) (whole bag is 45 calories or 15 cals serving) Baby carrots (35 cals for 3 oz) Special K Cheddar or Sour Cream and onion crackers (110 cals) Clementines (30 cals eac) 100 calorie packs of baked cheetos or 110 Cal bag of pretzels 2-3 oz Krakus Polish ham sliced…

I'm allotted 1200 a day and tend to be 100-200 below that at the end of the day. I really watch what I eat....this site has me really looking at things differently, which I needed! For breakfast I have: Cup of coffee with splenda and real half/half Either a baggie of cheerios (measured), one packet of oatmeal or one packet…

I am honest if I don't like something my fiance' made. 9 times out of ten I LOVE his cooking but there are some foods I just don't like BUT I do try it anyways because I was taught to always try something before I say I don't like it. The only thing I will NOT eat ever of his, is spicy food. I just can't not handle…

Dump the boyfriend. Simple solution! Haha..just kidding. You have the tools.....just put them to good use!! YOU CAN DO THIS!!!

No more cheat days/meals for me. If I want something, I allot for it in my daily count. If I go over a bit, then I okay it. If its a huge then I really think about it. Spent too many years trying to deal with the mentality that I can't have something unless I "cheat". Trying to flick that switch in my head that says I can…

I am 2 lbs under my DL posted weight now. Two and a half months ago, I was 20 pounds OVER what was posted!! Oops! LOL

I don't drink water if I can help it. My doctor also doesn't believe in the '8-8oz glasses a day'. If other want to do it, great, but I eat enough fruits and veggies plus my 2 cups of coffee, orange spiced tea and diet soda to hydrate me just fine. I maybe have less than 4 oz of pure water a day to take medicine. Once in a…

I had Polish ham on an Arnolds thin whole wheat roll, stone ground mustard, 3 oz baby carrots and a 110 calorie bag of Rold Gold pretzel twists.

Thank you for asking this. I was going to start this very thread!!!

I know what metabolic advantage means. I just don't get the negativity that goes on here about low carb, I really don't. Its just ONE more way to get healthy but yet it gets pooh poohed so much when there is absolutely NOTHING wrong with going low carb. NOT NO CARB. Plus I was able to eat MORE calories on Atkins and lost…
