Guest guest Posted October 10, 2000 Report Share Posted October 10, 2000 Thank you all for your welcome. I live in Central California on the coast in San Obispo County. Its a beautiful area. I was born and raised in Los Angeles and am very happy to be living where I am now. Its has been a great place to raise children. I have done Weight Watchers for many years but found that I would loose weight much quicker if I cut way back on my carbs. I've been surprised at how much I was able to lose and the inches when I did very low carbs. I don't really know how low is healthy but I cut way back and then find myself eating around 200 carbs a day. I've tried to do the strict Atkins Diet with 30 carbs/day and my system didn't care for that extreme too much. My friend who does Atkins says it causes her to urinate much more often than regular. But I didn't find that out. I found out that it causes constipation for my system where it didn't with her. I began to eat more carbs and the problem went away. And I feel like I have slight more energy with eating a bit more carbs. How many carbs do most of you eat per day? I found this list by the moderator who submitted a recipe for bread to the TNT list. Do you post many recipes here for low carb meals? Do you have a board where there is a archieve of recipes? Just a few questions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 10, 2000 Report Share Posted October 10, 2000 Hi , We post recipes on and off. You will probably see a slew and then none for a while. I think there are lots of recipes on our home page--the url is posted at the bottom of every email. There are also some things, I don't remember what, at the egroups address under member files or something like that. Someone help me out here, I am babbling about I know not what. What is TNT? Speaking of recipes, anyone heard from Tinkerbell? I miss all her posts. Is she still a member. Weird how people drop off the face of the list. Tink, you here? corky Re: SUSAN > Thank you all for your welcome. I live in Central California on the coast > in San Obispo County. Its a beautiful area.

Guest guest Posted October 10, 2000 Report Share Posted October 10, 2000 > How many carbs do most of you eat per day? Hi - since I seem to try to be on induction levels most of the time I try to stay below 20g carbs per day. I think there are a lot around here who are trying to stay under 20 as well. If you are interested in seeing what a 20 carb menu looks like you are more than welcome to see the plan I followed last August for 31 days and staying under 20 carbs just about all the time (and lost 17 pounds). Of course the menu would be changed for a different person but its what I did and might give you some ideas. Just go to my homepage and click on my Atkins page - you will see August Challenge Results there to click on. Have you read Dr. Atkins book?? How long have you been following a low carb plan?? How many carbs do you average per day now?? I think we all seem to be urinating more frequently but then we are also drinking more water too (but I find my body become accustom to the amount and that the trips to the bathroom settle down for me). How much water are you drinking?? A lot of people also seem to have some problems occasionally with constipation. Sometimes this corrects itself as your body gets use to this new WOE or sometimes they use Pylisium (sp?) or Metamucil (sugar free) to help them in this area. How much have you lost?? Again - welcome to the list and let us know what you need :-) I know - questions questions questions LOL Take Care G. You can't change the direction of the wind, but you can adjust your sails.

Guest guest Posted October 11, 2000 Report Share Posted October 11, 2000 > Have you read Dr. Atkins book?? Yes I have. My friend at work has it and I spent a few days reading it. I went by the book for the first 2 weeks and lost inches, but I haven't gotten on a scale yet. How long have you been following a low carb plan?? Its been 3 weeks now. I gradually started eating more carbs, because I felt my body needed more fiber in it (due to the constipation). How many carbs do you average per day now?? I would say I am around 120 day. I want to get under that but am having problems. For breakfast I've been eating mostly eggs and egg omlets. Do you have any suggestions what I could do for a variety for breakfast? How much water are you drinking?? I'm really good at my water. I do drink 8 glasses per day. > How much have you lost?? I've lost 42 lbs so far. I have another 15 to go.

Guest guest Posted October 11, 2000 Report Share Posted October 11, 2000 Corky TNT is a recipe group that I'm on and found the recipe for low carb bread on it. The trailer for this group was listed too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sure seems like a lot of carbs - but also if its working for you then I say go for it :-) I also have mainly eggs for breakfast - with bacon sometimes. But other suggestions would be a protein shake, leftovers from the night before (many people eat chicken, steak, pork chops for breakfast) Now that I have successfully made the bread - that will add a little variety occasionally (like on Monday I had a fried egg sandwich -oh so unheard for such a long time) > > How much water are you drinking?? > I'm really good at my water. I do drink 8 glasses per day. Glad you are getting the water in - the more the better they say so keep it up :-) > > > How much have you lost?? > I've lost 42 lbs so far. I have another 15 to go. You have done WONDERFUL - congratulations!!!! Its no easy task to lose this weight and you are getting close to your goal. Must make you feel good :-) Glad you saw my recipe for the bread on TNT and hope you got a chance to check out those other recipe sites - there's a lot out there on the web for us to help us on this WOE, its just a matter of finding it sometimes. Keep up the great work you're doing. Take Care G. 230/218/130 Sept. 13/00 You can't change the direction of the wind, but you can adjust your sails.

Guest guest Posted October 11, 2000 Report Share Posted October 11, 2000 Nice job ....only 15 to go. I look for the lowest carb veggies and tuna and other fish when I need to break a stall. Cauliflower, broccoli, and asparagus " keep me regular " . I love eggs... but would rather have them for lunch than breakfast, so I usually have a atkins bar for breakfast.
