Default Introducing...myself

Hello,
My name is Brian Schade. As of today, I started a new lo-carb plan.

It's been about 4 years since I last went on the Atkin's Diet. During the
two months I was on it, I lost 30 pounds. I will never forget that
experience. Since then, I've tried getting back on it, but had problems for
one reason or another. I gave up a couple of years ago, and convinced
myself that it was unhealthy anyway. But I never forgot those 30 pounds
lost during those two months. The last few days, I figured I'd give it
another try.

This time I'm very interested in succeeding. I am currently the heaviest I
have ever been in my life. I need to get rid of these extra pounds. My
sons and new daughter need me to, and so does my wife. Not to mention
myself. I'm feeling bloated, and I think my 34-year-old body is starting to
feel the effects. My knees hurt, and my back is not in great shape. So
this time, I need to make it work.

I plan to combine my diet with a decent excercise program. Mainly to prod
the weight loss along. I'm not a patient man when it comes to these things.
I want to experience that 30 pound weight loss again, and then keep it going
for a good 70 pounds after that. I'll be happy if I reach 200. I'll be
ecstatic if I get to 185.

What I need now is a good resource for recipes. If anyone has one, I'll be
grateful for the reference. I look forward to keeping up with y'all during
this time.

Sincerely,

Brian M. Schade, MCP, MCSE

Victoria,

MCP Stands for Microsoft Certified Professional MCSE is Microsoft Certified
Systems Engineer.

These are certifications that are only really specific to the Information
Technology field, and I stuck them on my name out of habit. I have these
certs, but they really don't have any precedence here in this group.

Thanks for the welcome.

Brian

Here, it's simple. No pasta, rice, corn, carrots, potatoes, cereal, bread,
or sugar/sweets. Good carbs come from high-fiber veggies like spinach and
broccoli. Did I leave anything out, group?

Okay, so maybe I need a little more than just recipes. I was making my
dinner tonight, and couldn't remember which carbs were good and which were
bad. I guess I need to locate my Atkin's book.

Like I said, it's been a few years. I've loaned my Atkin's book to someone.
I'm not so sure if I just want to go find it or simply buy another one.

Luna,
Thanks. I'm wondering, if I find something with sugar carbs but it's well
below my daily intake, is that okay? For example, if I use a salad dressing
that lists 5 carbs per two-tablespoon serving, and 3 of those carbs are
sugar, am I still doing alright?

Thanks again.

Brian

I'm not an expert, but I think something like that would be ok, but don't
go crazy with the portion size. Personally, I prefer creamy full fat
dressings like ranch or bleu cheese, which usually have fewer carbs. I
think French dressing is the only one I remember being told was way too
sugary for a low-carb diet. I would wager that if the rest of your carbs
are from high fiber vegetables, and the dressing is the only indulgence,
then it would be ok. The thing to watch out for though is whether it
triggers cravings for more sugar. Even small amounts of sugar do this to
some people.
