Need to Get Back to It
I fell off the Atkins wagon sometime last year. I started to add back fruit and whole grains but I think it got the best of me. I'm going to be going grocery shopping soon and just purchased the Atkins Journal so it will be on my kitchen counter for me to see. I love having a paper journal and find it motivates me much…

The lowest carb protein powder available
I am trying to locate the lowest carb protein powder for shakes, smoothies, general baking and so on. I have some Ideal Shape that I ordered a long time ago and still had a vanilla that was not opened. It has 4 net per serving. The chocolate had 6 net, which I feel is too much. I hear a lot of people talk about whey and I…

Which would be better?
What would be a better purchase: resistance bands/tubes/cords or a kettle bell??? It seems like the cords have more workouts you can do, but the bell might give more upper body strength. I could get both, eventually. But which to start?

Get Your Blood Ketone Meter - Free!
Ketostix aren't accurate. They give false positives of being in ketosis. Every day I see people post in various forums about using them, but can't figure out why things are moving along in one way or another; or why they feel so crappy after eating a certain food. Peeing isn't what you need to be doing. You should be…

Do You Feel Like You Constantly Have to Defend...
Curious - do any of you feel like you constantly have to defend Atkins or yourself for being on it? My step-mom-in-law is a nurse and she is doing Atkins too. She has lost 15lb this year and she is diabetic. This is the only plan that has really worked for her. Her dietitian even works with her and she thinks it is fine.…

Reading Material
I am currently reading the Lyle McDonald book The Ketogenic Diet. I have basically been doing Atkins Induction since Jan 1 when someone said "oh you're doing Keto- sorta" so this had me wanting more. I found the Reddit group and read what I can when I have time. Then I thought I would look for a group here on MFP. Anyway,…

So Confused
When we found out I had PCOS a few weeks ago my OB didn't do anything other than put me back on birth control to get me to cycle. She did not really talk to me a whole lot about my nutrition. I *think* this was because she knew I was seeing a dietician and probabley figured I would be consulting her. Well, I did. But she…

Is this ok?
I started reading old & new Atkins books when I signed up on the site a few months ago. I started to cut carbs as I read & got a base point of information. I started preparing by not bringing anymore of that stuff into the house. Started reading low carb, diabetic, wheat free, gluten free, and glycemic books because of…

Dr. Ordered Low-Carb
I've been on MFP just over 2 yrs. My weight doesn't seem to budge much. The same 10lbs go up and down, up , up, down, up, up. It's been a roller coaster. I have degenerative disk disease in my back and osteoarthritis in my hips which causes me a lot of discomfort and pain. In the last 2 years I have seen my weight go up by…

Need a Treadmill Doctor
My beloved treadmill of 10 years has passed away. I would like to try to save her if possible. I have located a supplier of parts for my make and model. Problem is, I have no idea what I really need. The motor appears to run fine and all of the belts don't seem to have any stretch to them or thin/worn spots. When no one is…

I just learned...
That I can drink coffee without milk, at least if it is breakfast blend! I ran out of milk, realized it after I made the coffee. I usually use 2 packs of splenda with 3 tbsp of skim milk, soy milk or almond, depending on what I purchased that week. Today, I just added one extra packed of splenda to my mug, along with a few…

Can't seem to get it together.

Once when I was almost 15 (I am a month shy of my 35th birthday) and 227 pounds (a number I will never forget) my mother took me to the NutriSystem center once a week where I lost over 80 pounds. I kept that weight off through the rest of my high school years and most of…
