I put a sprinkle on salads, in yogurt, in my home made granola...................

I agree with IcePrincessk25............... I lose weight better when eating steaks. I have to clarify though, I only eat grass fed beef so I get the benefits of natural occurring CLA, which is a fat burner.

Obviously, you have not researched saturated fats....................The studies are finding that saturated fats (animal fats) are not bad for you, especially when you are eating all natural. The proof of how I feel about what I have read and researched are there, in my signature..............My blood work improves every 3…

Coconut oil is the earths most healthy oil and if you would look at my bloodwork in my signature, which will soon be updated with more blood work, my cholesterol, triglycerides, A1C and everything are better since this is my breakfast 7 days a week............. I eat saturated fat too, and lot of it because I eat the…

Those are salty items too.................. Salty kills a sweet craving.................... I love Jalapenos, but I don't like olives............I have tried to like them. Bought nice ones from an olive bar and I just can't eat them unless they are cooked into a dish.

Anything that has carbs has sugar in it.................... Whether it is from natural sources or not.

We are eating more on the natural side of what everyone else is eating.................. We are cutting down on fruit consumption, which most people on here don't do. We are getting our natural sugars from veggies, which is significantly smaller amounts than most people here........... Coupled with the "non-fat" and…

My favorite breakfast is: 3 eggs fried in coconut oil 2 patties of my home made sage sausage Organic Coffee and water

LMAO!!!

What people are not realizing, is with a diabetic, especially with high cholesterol................ Your husband is going to be better off with cutting the sugar and carbs (getting carbs from vegetables first and then a little fruit) and increasing fats............................ Low carb, higher fat and higher protein…

Fage can not be compared to Yoplait, Dannon or any of the "grocery store" varieties............ Fage has only 17 grams of carbs and NO added sugar at all. Couple with a cup of strawberries (which would be too much for a cup of Fage) and you are at 22 grams of NATURAL carbs, not a chemical soup of preservatives and HFCS. I…

That is great!!! Support is one of the best things to get you through those humps!!! Congrats for sticking with it!!!

Atkins IS NOT a fad diet, it is a lifestyle change...................The 2 week induction you are supposed to be eating 12-15 grams of carbs in the form of veggies and then after 2 weeks, you are adding in more veggies, fruits, etc.................... If you go through all 4 phases, in the end you are eating a VERY…

If she is following Atkins, then she is good to go on the fat intake.......................Fat is not unhealthy for you. My blood work speaks for itself and I will be updating that forum in the next couple of weeks for my continued success.............. To the original poster: Just make sure for the first 2 weeks of…

I do believe that Dr Atkins means 100% beef hot dogs without nitrates. Oscar Meyer hotdogs have nitrates, which in my research can eventually lead to cancer.................... I do enjoy hot dogs from time to time, but I get them 100% beef hot dogs without any preservatives. My Coop sells them in their Deli, they are…

I am sitting here eating a rib eye steak with grilled onions, peppers and tomatos. I know, it is only 2:15 am, LOL..................

My weigh in from last Friday (don't know if I gave it because I have TOM visiting right now) is 209.

I grew up on raw dairy...............I had no wieght problem as a child, graduated high school, joined the Army and got married, living in Virginia in a city area where there weren't many natural options..............started eating the Standard American Diet...................the rest if history after a 140 pound…

I suffer from PMDD and bi-polar disorder................along with PCOS and diabetes..................... I am a walking hormonal and chemical imbalance, LOL.................. Anyhoo.............. I found that when I eat natural, no processed foods, no wheat products, no chemicals, hormones, antibiotics in the meat, eggs…

Dill Pickles......................salty will kill a sweet craving.

I have the E-book if you would like a copy. PM me your email address if you would like a copy of it.

That is what started the debate.....................Special K contains HFCS

Diabetics do not need to eat non-fat yogurt filled with sugar, HFCS, and there is no fat to keep fueling the body in the absence of carbs.............. Fage total, greek yogurt with a handful of berries and some organic granola would be GREAT. Natural is the best way to go!!!

Actually, he needs to reduce the carbs and up his fat intake................. Low carb diet naturally reduces the cholesterol, so his numbers will drop fast being it is so high. Check out my blood work (link in my signature) and believe me, it does happen. He can get off the diabetes meds too by doing low…

Here is the link for the acceptable foods list. http://www.atkins.com/Files/AcceptableFoodsPhase1_0818.pdf

This is what I was going to say here............... I am on Atkins and what you are doing is NOT ATKINS..................... Atkins advises AGAINST eating processed foods such as deli meats, hot dogs, sausages, etc.........meats filled with nitrates and other chemicals are not good for you. Where are your salad veggies or…

The best thing you can do to get a handle on PCOS and the symptoms is Low Carb and eat as natural of a lifestyle as you possibly can. If you can afford to do so, buy organic as much as possible. Buy meats, eggs that are free range, grass fed, free of hormones, anti-biotics, etc...............but especially the hormones as…

I don't believe in what Prevention magazine has to say. They promote too much in the way of medications that the Big Pharma are paying for and it sickens me. If people ditched the processed stuff and go back to eating the way they did prior to the 1950's when tv dinners and fast food were introduced, we wouldn't have half…
