from exante to atkins diary

[honeytemple88]

HI just back in from a good night out - feel stuffed though! Had mixed grill in frankie and benny's the waitress looked at me like I was mental when I ordered it, erm I want that with no chips, no BBQ sauce, no salad dressing and a fried egg please!
It just seems really weird to eat that on a diet! Just hope I have stuck to it okay - as feeling rather full!

thats was a great choice hun i did that a few weeks back when was out for a meal and still was in ketosis so think you will be fine and your allowed to be full on atkins hun.

 

[honeytemple88]

[honeytemple88]

day24 and todays food consisted of 3 slices of back bacon for breakfast didnt have lunch....stomack still abit wishie washie made a bolognaise thing for dinner .....mince pepper garlic mushrooms some chilli and tomato pasta sauce with garlic i checked the carbs. the whole meal was around 12-15carbs but it made alot so devided it into 5 and going to freeze the rest.

also made a lemon cheese cake and ate that for pudding it was delicious will be defently making it again not to often but defently a nice treat, as it contains cream and cheese what stalls alot of people.

[honeytemple88]

good morning wel day 25 and i can't believe im 3 days a way from a month on this diet with no cheat...ive never stuck to a diet ever this long without hitting a wall and cheating .....but atkins is my answer.

im not saying i will never cheat as i no when atkins food isnt available there might not be any other choice but as long as im sensible and pre prepare i should be fine.... i still havnt weighted in and i think i picked a good month not to totm seems to have made a come back for a few days ..... i hope i don't have this every month and my body start to regulate cause since ive been on atkins ive been on totm for nearly 3 weeks on and off. anyone else experience iregular totm but they settled ???? would apreciate your opion ???

 

[Ess3x_Girly]

my totm's are always so unpredictable! I can go 60 days without, then have 2 in the space of 3 weeks! I am hoping that with this new diet they will sort themselves out - I will keep you posted, it's horrible not knowing when! Hope yours calm down x

good morning well yesterday i behaved i brought a bottle of 7up free when was out and some cheese and stuck to the food i made didnt give into temptation i had a really had headache alday yesterday due to not anoth sleep so fell asleep as 8pm on the sofa ..... so needed the sleep , im of to sainsburys to get a couple bits and then its probley a day in cleaning and watching films and playing with the kiddies , im planning on having fajitas in lettuce for dinner but not sure what lunch or breakfast will be , 15days till i weigh in , almost half way threw my own mini challenge feel so good , kids were playing with my tape measure the other week so atm can't find it to domy measurements so will pick 1 up at shopping..... and measure friday what would have been my 4 week weigh in ... x

 

[honeytemple88]

good evening... just to update my diary for today... well i didnt end up staying in went food shopping then in to town to get couple bits bumped into a friend we went for lunch and then back to hers.... didnt get home till around 7, well food todai consisted on a small tuna salad for brunch thought id beter eat before i left... while out i grabed a burger with my friend took away the bread so was a beef burger with cheese bacon mayo a slice of lettuce and 1 slice of tomato.... when i got home was hungry so made fajita mix and served them with lettuce leaves and a bit of mayo my carbs for today were around 16.... didnt tell friend i was on atkins said i was low carbing didnt want to hear all the storys that come with it...

but very proud of myself.... they offered me so much to eat sweets chocolates savoury cheese biscuits.... my favourite and i turned them all down , i really really really can not believe how strong willed im feeling on atkins and even if ive only lose 1lb since last weighting i can honestly say i don't care .... i feel great following atkins and i no that no matter how slow or how long it takes im going to loss weight and get to my target on this eatting plan .... september the 5th need to hurry up so i can weigh in although im debating if i should weigh in on the 31st aug or the 7th sep as my weight in day is a friday and would like to keep it as regular as i can . might extend it to the 7th as i fell i would be cheating my own personal challenge so its decided..... new weight in date will be friday 7th september... thats 17day to do and counting .....

will be on tomorrow to update my diary hope every1 had a fantastic day x

Great to see how positive you are, and fantastic willpower turning down all those treats!

Atkins and low carb are exactly the same, it's just that all low carb diets have slightly different rules attached. I think it's just the way Atkins was marketed - and it being the first 'big name' low carb diet, all the stigma got loaded onto it. Very silly really as all the medical studies show how much healthier low carb eating is, and way back in the 70s Dr A advised people to get their cholesterol checked pre and during the diet - because he knew it was almost certain to be lower. I think it's sensible to tell people you're on low carb - it saves having to deal with the misinformation of people who have never done the diet.
