Day 2
Well, day 2 has come and gone and I think I did really well staying below
the 20 carb limit. Here's my meal plan for today. Maybe y'all can tell me if I'm on the right track. I am starting to see some color change on the ketostix, so I think I'm getting there. Anyway, here's what I had for eating today. Breakfast: 1 scrambled egg with grated cheddar cheese and 1 tbsp salsa 1 cup cottage cheese (est. 8 grams carbs) Water Lunch: More eggs (we need to go shopping) - approx. 3, scrambled, with grated sharp cheddar, less than 1 tsp ketchup, about 2 tbsp salsa. Bacon - lots. I was craving for some reason. Had about 8 strips or so. Water Dinner: Unknown quantity of roast beef dipped in sour cream with about 2 tbsp organic Thousand Island dressing water I estimate my total carb intake at about 17 grams, roughly. We are in dire need of getting to the store. I'm going to be making a shopping list tomorrow. This was not the usual meal plan for me, even on Atkin's. I still need to find my stinkin' book. Brian |

Day 2
I started Atkins a little earlier than I had initially planned, so I know where you're coming from as as not being entirely prepared ahead of time. Without veggies/fiber, however, you're likely to end up ROYALLY constipated :-) I ate cottage cheese every day throughout my first two weeks and did not measure my cheese. I am a former vegetarian who eats at present ham and bacon but that's all. I lost ten pounds. I am also drinking coffee. I don't think a lot of these rules apply to everyone, I personally couldn't have done it otherwise. |

Day 2
If you don't follow all of Atkins rules, then you shouldn't call it Atkins.
