hello Everyone,

   My name is Carol and I'm new to the group, I'm hoping to pick up

some great tips on staying on the Atkin diet and how not to cheat.  My

problem is that I work night shift and I'm up most of the day.



   When I go to work at night (12:00 midnight) I'm looking for a

something to give me some energy, candy,cookies,popcorn what every,

HELP.  I neglected to say that on certain days when I get off from

working night shift, I go and watch my grand daughters for about 6

hours - so I'm up for most of the day.



I can not get a good eating pattern, please somebody shoot me or help

me.



    Thank you for listening to me complain.



Rember I'm just starting out.  be kind.

Carol:  The best tip I can give you is to be prepared for those

hungry times.  Bring snacks with you, like devilled eggs, pepperoni,

sliced cheese, ham & cream cheese roll-ups, salad, whatever you

like.  I find that if I keep pumpkin seeds and low-carb bars in my

purse and car, that helps me a lot since these things need no

refrigeration.



Remember that carbs (candy, popcorn, etc) only give you a very

temporary surge of energy, followed by an energy crash.  Stick with

the protein choices and the energy will stay with you much longer.

You will find that on Atkins, you will no longer feel sluggish during

certain times of the day, because you will not have those insulin

spikes and dips.



The key thing to remember when starting Atkins is to be prepared for

your hunger.  Plan ahead, pack your lunch and snacks the night

before.



This is a nice group of people.  We all play nice here, don't worry :-

My suggestion is get yourself an ice chest with some blue ice so that food

stuff stays cool without getting wet.



Then I hope you have a microwave at work.  That would make it

convenient.  I'm assuming that you do.  :)



Pack the cooler with:



Deviled Eggs



Boiled chicken packed in a Mason Jar.

      This can be eaten as a soup or as just the chicken.



A can of tuna

Several boiled eggs

          Mayo:  Put Mayo in a a little Mason jar or old pimento cheese jar

Find a salt and pepper shaker with a tight closed lid.



With the above, you can make tuna fish salad or egg salad.



Add no carb cheese cut into little squares.  These can be eaten by

themselves or added to the tuna salad or egg salad.



You can always place the salads on a lettuce leaf or a bed of shredded

lettuce.



Baked chicken



Cheese strips rolled up with a slice of ham.  NOTE:  Be sure the ham

doesn't have carbs.  Use a toothpick to hold it together.  Make it really

special by adding a green olive with pimento.  Buy the olives that

indicated <1 carb/per 3 olives.



These are a few samples.



The sugar snacks will give you a high but you'll also crash or need to eat

more.  This is a vicious pattern.



Try taking a Guarana tablet.  It will give you energy and not add sugar.

For those who are having a fit that I suggested Guarana, I know that it may

stall the diet but the few times I used it it didn't. Some of the Guarana

has caffeine but others don't.  Also, I hope that someone on the list can

give better suggestions on what can help to keep Carol awake for her job

and life because sugar is the one thing that she shouldn't be using.



Besides Carol, once on this diet, you will natural have more energy because

sugar can make your system sluggish.

If you like pepperoni, you will love this tip:  Place pepperoni in a

single layer on a couple of paper towels, microwave on high for about

30 seconds or until pepperoni becomes crisp.  Use in place of potato

chips.  Delicious!



Another great snack is pork rinds and sour cream, just be sure to

dish out the sour cream into another bowl, it is easy to go overboard

and eat too much if you are eating straight from the container.

Hi Deepak, and welcome to our group!



Where is Cardiff?  And how much is a stone?



Alcohol is a big no-no for Atkins diet in the dieting stages.  I think you can

add it back in slowly once you reach your weight, but only if it doesn't make

you gain weight back.



Haven't heard anyone say anything about stopping smoking except for your healths

sake.  Not good for your lungs.  But if you have trouble losing, you might want

to cut down and see if that will help.  Hard to do, I know.  I use to smoke 4

packs a day, but haven't had one since 1984.  Wasn't easy, but it can be done.

   Hello,



   My name is Deepak and am from Cardiff. I am just about

   to try Atkins and thought I can use a whole lot of

   support.



   I have to use a couple of stones to reach my ideal

   weight. 2 and a half stones to be exact. One of my

   friends on this diet told me that that I will be able

   to lose that on a month with Atkins Induction. Is that

   true?



   I have bought the book but have yet to read it.



   Another thing that I would like to know is if I can

   drink alcohol on this diet? Is smoking any probs as

   well?



   Cheers for any help,



   Deepak

Hello Group,



My Name is Sarah, I am new to the DADR. I bought the Book "The

Atkins Essentials: Book on Monday. I have tried all kinds of diets

(some I didnt want to try, Very long story) and failed. This one

seems to be a little bit different. My WOL is different as well. I

am a cashier at a Home Improvement Warehose, I do usually lift,

bend, walk alot, talk alot, move my hands and arms alot. When I am

at home I tend to sit down, sometimes I am not inspired to do much.

And then there are other days when I just want to keep going. I am

very much into art and music. I moved up here to North Idaho in May

2003. I dont have many friends here. Most of the time when I do get

asked to partys its all about the drinking. And I am not into that,

so I am left in out feild.



My Doctor said that for health reasons I should be around about 170

pounds. Which for me that translated into Greek!!!



But there is a personal Note I must say:

On Sunday Jan 4th 2004, I was at work and slipped and fell on my

Rear and went to the Docs for the indurstail injury. I am on very

light dutie. I can only stand/walk for 1/3 of my 8 hours. So

needless to say I will be sitting for about two weeks. :(

So right now I cant workout. Can someone help me with some ideas on

how to stay a little active?



About My Body.

Location: North Idaho, USA

Age: 21

Birthday: December 17th, 1982

My current Wt. is: 282 pounds

My Ht. 5 Foot 5 Inchs

My Goal Wt. : 170



Thank you All for reading this.

Hope to hear and get to know you all.



Sweetly,

Sarah Michelle

Are you able to bicycle or swim?  I know it's too cold for swimming at this

time of the year for your area but you might try it at the "Y".

Hi!

My name is Tess and I am a new member to this group. Last time I was on the

Atkins diet (3 years ago) I lost 60 pounds. Unfortunately I went off the diet

and gained back 30 lbs. Now that I restarted two weeks ago, I have a total of 70

pounds to loose to get to my goal weight. I understand now that it must be a way

of life and not just a diet.



Thanks!

I eat virtually every meal in restaurants, so I am sympathetic.   Here is

what I eat and where I eat it:

Taco Bell:  Taco Salad with no beans and extra meat and I don't eat  the

shell.

McDonalds: The dollar double cheeseburger (2) and I toss the bun.   They will

also make an egg McMuffin without the English Muffin, I eat those for

breakfast, ditto for the Sausage McMuffin, I eat 2 of them

Wendy's: The Bacon Cheeseburger or the double stack from the dollar menu is

always good.  I buy two, take off the bun and stack them.

KFC--I pull off the skin with the breading and eat the chicken

Checkers/Rallys: same as Wendy's

Breakfast: any kind of omelette or eggs, steak and eggs.  They will  always

substitute tomato slices for the grits/potatoes and toast.

Lunch: Chicken, tuna, ham or egg salad on a bed of greens or plain is  always

good. A Philly cheesesteak eaten out of the bun is good, a chef salad  with

ranch, bleu cheese, Italian or any low carb dressing is good, cottage  cheese

and a burger patty is also one of my favorites.  I also like an  Italian sub, I

tear away the bread as I go.  Lettuce wraps are also  good, I love meat and

cheese wrapped in lettuce.  Hardee's has a low carb  "thickburger" that they

serve in between two lettuce leaves that is very  tasty.  I also like devilled

eggs, and you can add chopped ham or bacon to  the egg stuffing, I have also

used olives.

Dinner: I am partial to steaks and salads.  Steamed low carb broccoli,

cauliflower, green beans, creamed or sauteed spinach make nice sides.  Bleu 

cheese

makes a wonderful topping for meats and veggies.  A hunk of fish  with a nice

hollandaise is good, lamb chops with a rosemary au jus are also good

choices!  The key is to look at the menu and ask your server what is  available

for

people who don't eat carbs, almost all restaurants have low carb  choices these

days.

For those in the southwest part of the country like California and Arizona,

Carl's Jr is available.  It is the same company as Hardee's but, in my very

humble opinion, better.  I recently moved to Michigan.  Hardee's is here

but I doubt I'll eat there except on a rare occasion because it is a 20

mile trip one way to get there.  Too bad because the Angus burgers are

good.  If you have a Fatburger in the area, they serve a great burger and

you can get a fried egg on top.  Great stuff.



Teri is nicer to the counter people than I am.  I always ask for my food

low carb.  I'll take a 6 dollar burger, no bun, no onions, no special sauce

at Carl's Jr.  BTW, Burger King also has an Angus burger and you can get it

low carb.  ie, no bun, on a plate.



If you have a chance, Red Robin has a great Pork Carnitas Meal.  Just don't

eat the tortillas and you're set.

I also like Boston Market, hold the corn bread, mixed veges and

Spinach.  Just dig out the carrots in the mixed veges.



So many restaurants. So many Low carb meals.  I had Chinese tonight.  I

requested and they made the sauce without sugar.  No bad.

When I go to a Mexican restaurant I always order the fajitas  and slather

them with the sour cream and guacamole, I don't eat the  tortillas.  In a

Chinese

restaurant I ask for no sugar in the  sauce and I order twice cooked pork

which is spicy pork with cabbage,  garlic pork with string beans, mu shu pork

chicken beef or shrimp are also  good choices.  I get the less juicy items since

I don't eat the rice,  I also like the ribs for appetizers and I "peel; the

egg rolls and eat the  insides.  The Hot and Sour soup is also a reasonably good

choice, I  also tell them no baby corn or carrots.

You know there's no rule that says breakfast has to be  eggs.  You can have

whatever protein/low carb food mix that you  want..Breakfast is the first meal

of the day, not bacon and eggs.   Personally I never eat breakfast because I

am simply not hungry till about  2pm and then I eat my main meal of the day.

Dinner for me is a salad  with meat, cheese and some nuts which would also be

good fro  breakfast,when I loved in Japan, the eat salad for  breakfast.

Here's my salad recipe:

Big handful of mixed greens--I buy several bags of greens and mix  them

2 TBS sunflower seeds

2 TBS toasted walnuts

3 TBS Bacon bits (I make my own)

1 chopped hard boiled egg

3 TBS crumbled bleu cheese

4 ounces of chopped leftover cold meat--ham, turkey, tuna,  whatever

1 TBS Craisins (They have carbs but not many and they add so  much)

1 TBS potato sticks (ditto)

Bleu cheese or ranch dressing

Toss it up and munch away....

O say, can you see, by the dawn's early light,

What so  proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming?

Whose broad stripes  and bright stars, through the perilous fight,

O'er the ramparts we  watched, were so gallantly streaming?

And the rocket's red glare, the  bombs bursting in air,

Gave proof through the night that our flag was  still there.

O say does that star spangled banner yet wave

O'er the  land of the free, and the home of the brave?

loose 100 to 120 pounds and keep it off! So, I have joined some lists

to help me through encouragement, ideas, and motivation. I am married

and we have two daughters and one boy. The girls are 3 and 5 and my

son is 1 and half. I want to set a good example for them. None of my

children have any weight problems and I want to insure we keep it that

way. I did not gain much weight with the first two, but, wow, my son

put almost 60 pounds on me. At least I am blaming it on him. Hehe



Anyway, thanks for letting me join the list. I most likely will just

lurk and learn, except for joining in on any "list activities". I am

really serious about these 100 pounds! I am not in a hurry though. All

I want to lose is about 1 to 2 pounds a week, so I have given myself a

year to lose those 10 bowling balls. I just received my copy of the

"Steak and Sex Diet" book on CD. Just for fun I ordered it several

weeks ago, and gave it to my husband, who needs to lose about 60

pounds. He got a kick out of it when he opened it on Christmas Eve

after the kids were in bed. He promises to follow it, even the romance

part. I ordered the tame version, but, of course, he wants be to get

the not so tame version. We will see how it goes first! Has anyone

followed it?



Oh, I live in Iowa, and so it is a little hard to do any exercising

out doors for a while, or at least for me. I do not like to go out in

to the cold! Well my husband and I going to start on losing this

weight first thing in the morning, so tonight we are cleaning out the

refrigerator and cupboards. I am going to donate a lot of the stuff to

a senior center.



We are going to watch carbs and fats, and start exercising everyday.

My husband says that he is going to follow the steak and sex diet for

sure. Hehe I am not sure about it yet, but I will begin to look at the

day to day suggestions and recipes. I have read the first chapter and

it was not quite like the name suggests. Not as much emphasis on the

sex as I was afraid of! Of course, with the kids we could use some

help in that area, too. My husband told me Christmas that if we make

the effort to change our eating habits, he will get us an elliptical

machine. Has anyone used them and how do they help? Do you have to

purchase an expensive one? I looked at some at Sears day before

yesterday, and they looked like they were made well, and we have a

Sears card. Has anyone on the list used a Sear's machine?



I know, I know, eating right and exercise, is the key, right? We are

not really going to follow any "regular" diet plan, unless we find one

we like by joining these lists. We have agreed not try any fad diet,

but instead just quit eating as much, and change when we eat and of

course, start moving more.



Thanks again for letting me join, and I will be learning through your

posts and suggestion for sure.

You will lose quicker than that at first, so take advantage of  it.  Start

with gentle exercise on a daily basis--one lap around the  block, then two, then

three....etc. until you get up to about 2-3 miles a  day.  Then start timing

yourself and start cutting the time it takes  you to do it.  When I first

started on the elliptical machine, I  couldn't do 10 minutes and it took me 22+

minutes to do a mile.  I  now do a mile in 9 minutes, 1.5 miles in 14 mins, 2

miles in 21 minutes  and 3 miles in 35 minutes without stopping.   You will work

up  to it but don't go crazy all at once and kill yourself or hurt  yourself.

  Stick with the program--I'm a sugar slut all the way, so I  have to have a

sweet before bed or I can't stick with it.  I eat  virtually no carbs during

the day and then at night I have a dish of the  Breyer's Carb Smart ice cream

before bed and it keeps me on the plan  because I look forward to it all day!  I

do creative things with it  and mixed with diet soda for floats or shakes,

it's yummy!  I add  nuts to the chocolate, crushed sugar-free Oreos (2) for

cookies-n-cream or  other creative twists.  I also have recipes for sugar-free

and

low  carb cheesecake--also keep in mind that sugar free DOES NOT mean low

carb!!!!  It can be sugar-free but not low carb, but it can't be  low-carb with

sugar in it!



Hey.....where are we going? And why are we in a  handbasket......? Is it

getting warm in here or is it just  me............?

O say, can you see, by the dawn's early  light,

What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last  gleaming?

Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous  fight,

O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly  streaming?

And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in  air,

Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.

O  say does that star spangled banner yet wave

O'er the land of the free,  and the home of the brave?

I've had 4 back surgeries and an elliptical is all I can  use--try it before

you buy it and get the one with the smoothest action  and no impact--this is

so important.  I actually LOVE using an  elliptical and I am a lazy

exercise-hating piece of crap!!  I  also have an Atkins group called

atkinslowcarblosers

at yahoogroups that  has all low carb recipes in the archives which are

searchable.

Hi Mandy, I love your attitude toward going healthy!  It sounds like you have

made and researched how to lose your weight in a healthy way.  I saw this recipe

on line, it sounded so weird that I decide to try it.  To my surprise it was

really good.  Give it a try: Pancakes serving for one....1/2 c of instant

oatmeal, 1/4 cup of cottage cheese, 2 eggs, a dash of vanilla, cinnamon and

nutmeg.  Put in blender till mixed well and cook.  Yes it sounds weird but I

promise it was good.  Good Eating from Texas!V.
