Guest guest Posted January 15, 2001 Report Share Posted January 15, 2001 You might want to try the turtles menus too Kitty! Might help you to see what a 'normal' day of Atkins eating looks like - and the vast majority of people who do the turtles menus without cheating lose weight!

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2001 Report Share Posted January 16, 2001 SK, I've just been keeping track of my calories/fat this week. I seem to be getting a lot from my Atkins shakes (I use 1/4 C cream in them), macadamia nuts, ground beef (not 90% lean, about 80 %, I think) Atkins rolls (about 52-53 calories each in a batch of 6), butter, salad dressing and my protein bars (about 225 calories each, depending on brand) they also provide fat (protein revolution 8 grams, Atkins 13). I have been losing this week and my carb counts have been well under 20. Hope this helps! I'm not a fancy cook, I do do sauces or fancy stuff (sauces if they come in a jar), I do like beef so that adds to fat and calories. I also eat a fair amount of mayo (2-3 Tbs with my burgers), oh and bacon too.

I lost 4.5 pounds last week and every day was filled with roast duck or roast pig from the Chinese supermarket and curried goat from Raja, an Indian steam table. A bit of sambal olek to keep it interesting.I cheated twice and had broccoli with cheese. This was an experiment and it worked. Both the pig and the duck were very fatty. My dd and dw like the goat so I had less of it. This week it is ham, roast, pork chops, and hopefully T-bones if they look good at the market tomorrow because they are on sale. This week also some caulitators with Indian spices, spinach, and broccoli. Only a cup or two of veggies a day though as they tend to fire up cravings for me. I feel off the wagon last night and had one big carb snack but like the folks who just have a drink or two without messing up there weight loss this does not bother my weight loss. What is tough is not to do it again. Randy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2001 Report Share Posted January 16, 2001 I've been averaging 1800 calories/day, about 75% fat, and I've lost 3 (1 came back over the weekend, boo hoo, since then I'm avoiding the scale). I only wish to lose 15 or so pounds and am not very heavy, just chubby. I don't know if I'll have to reduce calories to lose more, but I plan to give it the old college try before I do LOL! It seems like those whom are more overweight can eat a lot of calories and still lose, as long as they stay lc. Eat more, girl! Remind us why you've given up dairy? If it's to see if you can lose if you do, I think you'd be better off fixing your intake before you start worrying about intolerances. JMO. I usually have eggs and or sausage for breakfast & coffee w/ cream, 1 oz nuts and pork rinds w/ cheese for snacks, turtle lunch salad, turtle dinner stuff. I move things around a little but try to stay close.

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2001 Report Share Posted January 16, 2001 I have looked at it. I'm a loser and didn't do anything I planned last night..I crawled into my Final Fantasy game with an italian sausage (the only thing left defrosted after I burned my chicken *sigh*)..and didn't come out till after 11pm... TONIGHT I shall bake...and I have pretty much everything to get started on the turtle menu...some of the stuff doesn't seem too.portable though.

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2001 Report Share Posted January 16, 2001 Oh that is so rough, I really feel for you. I have a milk allergy, but I can tolerate some stuff better than others. I have actually found that I don't have the same problems now that I have eliminated wheat from my diet, I am allergic to it too. That may be the reason I've blown up the last couple of days, I had wheat in some fried fish breading, also I'm certain there was corn starch in the queso I ate on Sunday. I understood that cream and cheese are not as bad as milk? Anyway, it sounds to me like you are doing right by laying off and seeing how you do.

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2001 Report Share Posted January 16, 2001 OMG... my mother and sisters are completely sensitive to wheat too....plus hypoglycemic makes low-carbing a natural choice for the whole family. I on the other hand get completely energized by wheat...or anything with fiber in it.. of course I have IBS and a high fiber diet is painful for me.....life has a sick sense of humour sometimes. I figure I'll cut out the dairy for a week..then seen how I feel..and reintroduce it back 1 serving (1oz cheese, or 2tbsp sour cream) at a time to find my threshold..I have lactaid but it kinda stops you up *heh*. I LOVE cheese and I will be very unhappy if it turns out I can't have any of it.... --- elizabethtobola@... wrote: > Oh that is so rough, I really feel for you.

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2001 Report Share Posted January 16, 2001 I'm hypoglycemic as well, low-carb has been really great for me too. And IBS, but very mild, not a real problem much anymore. Fiber doesn't agree w/ me either. I tried adding psyllium husks to my diet but that just did not work, I have found flax oil keeps things moving along nicely, heh heh. For some weird reason, I do better w/ cheese if it is warm rather than cold. I don't know if I told you but I think it's cool you're studying to be a naturopath. Do you have to study a long time? Where do you take the classes?

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2001 Report Share Posted January 16, 2001 Yeah it should take me about 5 or 6 years since it's a Doctorate degree...I have not decided if my final degree will be N.D. (natural doctor) or Ph.D. (Doctorate of Philosophy in natural health). I have 1.5 years left of my bachelor's..then 2 years Masters, 2 years doctorate...plus a practicum..bleah. Right now I am taking classes locally..but I am going to have to get some certification which may involve some travel... I am a bit worried though..some organization is trying to push so that you have to be an MD to be a naturopath which is ridiculous since naturopaths do not do ANY Surgery (or even put in an IV)...do not prescribe medication...and should never try to handle anything which you should be going to an MD for.. this is already the law in 5 states...but it doesn't seem to be expanding from there... I see a naturopath as a combination nutritionist/master herbalist...though I have considered also studying to be a midwife...I believe we overuse our MDs and are extremely quick to pop pills or get ourselves cut open to fix a problem (I myself suffered extreme stomach aches for months and had a diagnostic laporoscopy..which was inconclusive...I am managing my stomach pains with diet and meditation)...I think some of the medical community sees naturopaths as trying to take over the position of an MD..this is SO WRONG...M.D.s are WONDERFUL...if you are bleeding, feverish...oh about a dozen other things....GO SEE A DOCTOR...any naturopath who would tell you otherwise SUCKS...while most naturopaths are " Dr.s " ..they are not DOCTORS...naturopaths have " clients " not " patients " ......and..and..I'm ranting, aren't I? hehe.. sorry BB, SK --- elizabethtobola@... wrote: > I don't know if I told you but I think it's cool > you're studying to > be a naturopath.
