Yes I am in "Phase II" of a low carb diet, where I have added back lentils, beans, and low sugar fruits. I have been low carbing it for about a year and when I don't fall off the band wagon it works great! Even when I do binge on carbs for a while, like on vacation, as long as I don't go way over on calories, I still…

Thanks for this post! I remember trying this a long time ago from a recipe on atkins website and forgot how much I liked it!

Phyllo is usually in the frozen section with the pie crusts. Its very very thin (almost see through) and you do stack it up. I am not sure if you eat greek food, but that is what baklava and other greek pastries are made of.

I am also LLC (living low carb), and I love it too. Hope you have continued great success!

I love MFP! You would think long term you would eventually fall off logging and keeping up with the site, but it's kind of addictive :) Good luck!

Well in looking at the past couple weeks, you aren't really eating any protein at lunch. If you aren't going to have filling carbs like beans or oatmeal or dense vegetables like cauliflower, broccoli, or cabbage, I would suggest adding protein like chicken breast or peanut butter to your lunches. Or even some sort of…

I am doing Atkins. I am in the OWL phase right now. I lost 75 pounds in the last year pretty much in OWL. I get cranky if I stay on Induction for too long. It's nice to have nuts, legumes, and fruit :) Add me if you want.

If you've got a bottle of wine, you've got coq au vin (You could also do chicken stock for kid friendly if you're worried about that). I made it last week with boneless skinless chicken thighs, leeks, potatoes, carrots, a red bell pepper, and a bay leaf. You can brown the thighs first or not (tastes better if you do). Make…

Bump! Thanks!

Unless you are buying the little water pods for kids, bottled waters are anywhere from 16-20 ounces (it should tell you at the bottom of the label), and there are 8 ounces in a cup. So I would enter 2 cups per each full bottle you drink.

My husband had this problem very bad, until we did a complete overhaul in his underwear. He used to wear loose boxers, and now he wears the boxer briefs. Regular boxer briefs work wonders for our short walks around the neighborhood, and if we have a day trip planned to go hiking, he wears the athletic version which are…

How has your first week back on LC been sassie? I am having horrible sugar cravings and may go back on induction for a week or 2 to try to curb those. We are going to PF Changs with a group of friends to celebrate my husbands birthday tonight so that should be interesting. My plan is to do the lettuce wraps and hot and…

The holidays and going to my parents with their darned homeade cookies got to me, but only gained about 6 pounds. I am already back down to what I was before Christmas, and I didn't even go to Induction -- just OWL. I figured I would slowly work my carbs back down, but so far I may just stick to OWL unless I hit a plateau.…

Yes I just dealt with this last week. I was sick as well. It seems like I spend 3 or 4 days of hard work to feel like I am back to where I was before, and I wish there was something to just stop the cravings to begin with. I try to stick to veggies and lower calorie cheese and proteins, but sometimes you just want some…

My husband is diabetic and I do low carb and I LOVE these cookies: Magical Peanut Butter Cookies 1 cup splenda granulated (I use the kind with added fiber, because who doesnt need extra fiber?) 1 cup peanut butter (I use crunchy to give it extra texture, but either kind works) 1 egg (or 1/4 cup egg beaters to save calories…

Well I gained a pound this week up from 271 to 272, however I did go way over my calories on Wednesday. My husband took me to The Melting Pot for our anniversary. I ate really well yesterday...just not enough to make up for Wednesday :). Hope everyone had a good week!

OK I know I am starting the last week and a half left of this month, but I have a couple goals I actually want to accomplish before the 30th: 1. I want to establish a more organized exercise plan. I have been doing it sporadically on days off and mornings when I don’t have to be in until a little later at work, but I have…

I saw a post about this LLC group on another thread called "Anyone Doing Atkins." I would be intersted in joining. I have been doing Atkins since January and have lost pretty consistently on it (over 50 pounds since January). I am in OWL now, with spurts back to Induction when I feel like I've hit a plateau. I also did…

I've had a pretty good week this week. I have actually been in 2 states other than my own for the previous 2 weeks for work, and I ate really badly those 2 weeks. It's hard to stay true to your diet on the road. But I was strict this week, and I am down to 271. I was at 274.6 before my work trips when I weighed on 8/27.

I just came across this thread, and definitely am in this boat. I hope you don't mind if I join you all. I have been doing good the past 3 weeks or so, but I do go through about a month of being proactive and then it seems to taper off. I could defintely use the support.

I have noticed this too. I still have a long way to go, but it's a great feeling!

277.6 today - down 2.4 pounds this week from 280. My husband's last weigh in was 277, so I have 0.6 to go. LOL

I am not new to the site, but am new to the posting community. I weighed in this morning at 280 (I saw that you all weigh in on Fridays). I started 8 months ago at 325, but have a long way to go to reach my goal weight of 170. My husband has been pretty supportive, but I decided it certainly couldn't hurt to have some…
