im looking into starting iifym as well but im a bit confused about how to plan my meals, got any ideas?

right oke , no i havent actually .. well i guess i wont weigh myself for a week and see what's the damage I was on atkins 1972 induction phase 1

Never mind :) I probably should leave put the protein for breakfast

thanks soo much ! :)

it says on the atkins website : " It’s worth noting that Atkins guidelines call for at least 4-6 ounces of (weighed uncooked) protein at each meal " so I assume that means at least 113 grams per meal ?

I just want to be sure, in phase one do you have to consume at least 345 grams of protein per day ? well done with the weight loss by the way !! im starting atkins tomorrow :)

I just want to be sure, in phase one do you have to consume at least 345 grams of protein per day ?

Oh right ! I get it now, thanks that was very helpful .. my current meals are 49 grams of carbs a day and I didn't understand how that was possible but it makes sense now. I will just alter it again tomorrow. Thanks allot !! :) , is there a certain amount of fat and protein your allowed in phase one as well ? because I…

It varies ... depending on how many calories I burn, but it tends to be about 150 - 250 gr per day (85% complex carbs)

Oke fair enough , thats a good point. I've got an appointment with my doctor tomorrow anyway so i will look into it properly and hopefully i will find something that works for me

I probably don't feel like I will be missing out on much since I dont eat ice cream at all, last time i had pancakes were 5 years ago and I'm not really a fan of pasta and I dont drink alcohol. I love rice but I would normally not have more than 2 cups per day

Thank youu !! That's really helpful :)

Alright Thanks :) I will try to find a better snack option

lol no .. I just don't find rudeness necessary :) I'm seriously looking for help and advise.. that's why I've decided to join these forums So it's kind of upsetting if people are judging me for no reason and don't take their time to actually support me and point me to the right direction

Thanks dear :) I will do a bit more research. I want to give atkins a try for a week or maybe a bit longer and see how my body reacts to it. I eat lootts of spicy food (to the point that it makes me sweat when I'm eating lol) and I've been told that speeds op the metabolism .. but I've made an appointment with my doctor…

I'm asking about Atkins because I've heard it gives great results. And I was wondering what people's opinion about it was. GAH!

Thanks lol finally someone that understands, The thing is I hear quite often people saying they've got bad eating habits like drinking alcohol or having lots of sweets etc. but I dont do any of that .. I dont drink, i don't fry my food, i rarely have sweets, dont eat pork or red meat (not for religious reasons but just…

First of all I never said that I see this as 'a quick fix' I've always been overweight but I was very athletic, played sports all my life so I managed to maintain a nice posture. Since the past 2 years I've gained so much and it doesn't seem like its going down. I'm aiming to be healthy primarily, but it will keep me…

what does ketosis mean ? Alright I will have a look for it today thanks

I have been eating 'clean' since december, having no more than 1500 calories per day and been going to the gym 3-4 times a week (at least 35min cardio and 30 min weights) since 15th january so far I've lost 7 KG. That's not very rewarding. I realise that I should be happy with what I've lost so far but I'm tired of putting…

Hi I started on Atkins today but I'm really confused , apparently my current meals are still low fat, high protein and moderate carbs. Could you give me some feedback on my food diary :) Morning: 2 eggs, 1 egg white 30 gr cheddar cheese 1-2 Turkey sausage Lunch: 1 table spoon mayo 1/2 tea spoon mustard powder sea salt,…

thanks everyone :) I've done herbalife before, that didn't do much for me so I'm trying to find something that actually works for me. I'm kind of tired trying all these diets and not getting the results I'm working so hard for :(

Thanks, I will try to be a bit more patient and not so hard on myself =/ haha

Thanks I will give it a read :)
