Atkins shakes are great for low carb-

Low carb Atkins style - within 5lbs of my goal for a few months now. Enjoying adding some carbs back into my diet. Good luck!

What is your BMR? That should be the only target you should be worrying about- You still need to nourish your body.

Your body will burn the alcohol first instead of the calories. So it will take longer to burn the calories.

Turkey, stuffing, sweet potatoes, gravy, mashed potatoes, ham, cheesecake, ice cream, and a few beers to wash it down. Oh Yeah!

What an uneducated thing to say. If you are going to post a reply to someone's question please make sure your response is backed up by fact and no opinion. low carb diets have been around forever and there are many success stories. If you have low carb diet questions go to Atkins.com and check out the free forums there-

Exactly, as with any diet plan once you go back to eating the way you used to you will gain all the weight back. I am over 100 net carbs per day and still hovering around my goal weight. Went out for dinner the other night and ate wings, fried shrimp, french fries, chicken tenders and a couple of Budweisers. I thought I…

I agree 100%. Not a single person here has read the book or understands the diet but has plenty to say about it. Of course their way is the only way!

Thanks for your input, very informative on the subject!

I still try to walk for at least a half hour every day on top of my usual activity. Good for the heart and mind!

20 net carbs is only for the first 2 weeks to get your body into ketosis. After that you are supposed to gradually increase your net carb intake until you stop loosing weight. Then go back down 5 -10 net carbs so you slowly loose a bit per week. Then once you are at your goal you increase by 10 net carbs a week until you…

Atkins is based on reducing carbs to burn fat. Has nothing to do with calories. A calorie is a unit of heat used to indicate the amount of energy that foods will produce in the human body. Everyone with an OPINION is mentioning science but not listing any. Atkins is proven to work. I use MFP just to log foods. I ignore the…

The best workout for surfing is push ups and squats. Where in CR are you going to surf? I lived there for 3 years. Playa Jaco & Playa Hermosa were my favorite surfing spots.

The reason Atkins didn't work for you is because you did it wrong... You in no way cut calories. Just saying you are "doing" Atkins does not mean you are doing it right. Did you read the book? I actually eat more calories and was losing a pound a day for the first few weeks. I am now 36lbs down and within a few of my goal…

I have been eating the Pepperidge Farms Carb Style Whole Wheat. It has like 8 carbs per slice with 3g fiber so only 5 net carbs. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/nutrition-facts-calories/pepperidge-farm-carb-style Also Mission makes a Burrito size Tortilla/Wrap that has 32 carbs but 26g fiber each so only 6 net carbs each. I…

I started when I was 15 cause I wanted to be like my dad. In college friends would always ask me for a cig cause they knew I had a full pack of Marlboro's in my pocket to go with the open pack I was carrying. I actually loved smoking. I loved the smell of the nicotine on my fingers and would suck on them when I needed a…

There is a lot of opinion floating around here on the subject and not much fact. I suggest using GOOGLE to find answers to questions that require factual answers. There are many studies on this topic and many facts to back up the findings. In short, no you do not need to eat breakfast.

You beat me too it... I use Bacardi!

sounds good!

Another silly person who doesn't know what they are talking about.

It does nothing to harm your body. That is just a silly comment. Keep sugar free gum for the breath!

Only 5 lbs in a month? You were doing something wrong! You should have lost that in the first week. The reason people gain he weight back is because they go back to eating like fools. If you learn how to eat right and stay on the maintenance phase you will not gain any weight back and will be able to regulate gain/loss.

No! Not Alcohol.... Silly.... Sugar Alcohols. Like in Sugar free gum, or Atkins foods. They use sugar alcohols as sweeteners. The carbs in Budweiser do count! Good try though!

see if there is a food bank service in your area you can get FREE FOOD! Usually veggies and meats!

If you are working out like a beast, remember muscle weighs a lot more than fat. You are increasing muscle, no?

Spend your money on a good multi vitamin and stay away from carbs and sugars! Eat protein. Chicken, fish, pork, beef. NO breads, pasta, fruit, try to stay under 20 net carbs a day for 2 weeks then gradually increase by 5 carbs a week. Are you on a food plan @ school? Cold cuts are great protein. Want fast food? Eat a…

Instead of being a downer, I will answer your question. I wanted to loose only the 35 lbs I gained after quitting smoking. I suggest reading the New Atkins book for a more full understanding of Ketosis. I eat a lot of veggies and proteins. Chicken, Pork, Fish, Beef. Breakfast is usually Bacon & Eggs, Steak and Broccoli,…

Remember to subtract sugar alcohols and fiber, the don't count.

I call it a cheat day and enjoy!

Some of us are on low carb diets such as Atkins and we do not count our caloric intake. We only count the net carbs in our diet. Net carbs are total carbs minus sugar alcohols or fiber. So when adding a food item we can see the correct carb number and not have to go back later and subtract sugar alcohols or fiber. Makes it…
