Well, my first full day on Atkins! Yum!
I scrapped the CD shakes because as was pointed out last week they are high in carbs and its actually the low calorie that has you in ketosis, so it seems I was suffering (by eating yucky soups) and didnt lose a thing!
Today I have had bacon and eggs for breakfast/dinner. An atkins bar (how nice are they!!!) and for tea I have diced chicken jazzed up with chilli powder and garlic, and a small salad with mayo. I dont feel hungry at all. So, im looking forward to seeing how much i lose this week

Are you being serious hun?!?!?!?!? The only reason why I still keep them in my diet is because I THOUGHT they were non carby!!!! OMG
As to Atkins bars - LOVE THEM ALL!
Boots has online promo 3for2 so might want to make the most of it.
Good luck with your first day hun xxx

Yes! I didnt realise either, then checked the pack contents and they have 15g of carbs in them!! So I guess thats why me doing both (to use up packs) was doing no good. As I was having at least 30g of carbs from the packs alone a day. I can't remember which thread its on, but someone pointed this out and it didnt even occur to me! So its atkins all the way for me now, im not eating/drinking those yucky packs for them not to do anything lol x

Yay Alison! That's great! I'm not touching my packs either. I've contacted my CDC to take them back and get my money back. I can use the money to get my hair done instead!

hehe yeah I couldnt resist jumping on the scales, I only weigh first thing in the morning and at the same time, but I have been stuck at same weight all last week. So seems that dumping the CD sachets once and for all (which wasnt hard at all!!) was a good thing

Real food is the biz compared to those sachets!! Would love the quick losses that the shakes bring but far prefer to eat, learn a new WOE & lose weight a bit slower!

Yeah your right Ditzee, I reckon I also probably overate last week also due to the fact I was ''allowed'', quite a green light to go stuffing your face! Least this way we can do what Jim does and prepare for it if we know we might have a night of indulgences!
I think the hardest thing to combat mentally is the deprvation thing, but honestly on the atkins I dont feel deprived at all. Especially since I tried the atkins bar yesterday...what more does a girl need!!
And its been really easy to give up potatoes, bread and pasta because when I have tried them (again last week), they made me feel like crap!

Oh and i forgot to add, on these TFR diets, its impossible to forget you are dieting because you are constantly thinking about food, but on atkins I havent given it much thought, except to check these message boards which is great! x

Hehe yeah! To say the meat and cheese caounter has always been my fav was an understatement, now I dont have to feel guilty about it lol.
Chloe I tried the bar with peanuts in and covered in chocolate (not sure what it was called)...and it was sooo nice
