Guest guest Posted August 12, 1999 Report Share Posted August 12, 1999 Hi Sue and everyone! My name is Kristi and I am on my second day of induction. I was a svelte teenager (who thought she was fat) who, 12 years later finds myself with 100 lbs. to lose. During these years, my only " serious " attempt was through Nutri-systems which didn't work, and since then (1989), I have read many diet and nutrition books and have eaten lowfat with dramatic results...in the wrong direction! LOL I had always avoided Atkins because I listened to media hype and didn't believe that it could work...however a diet buddy that answered my cry for help on a " lowfat " diet BB insisted that I just get DANDR and Protein Power and read for myself. THANK GOODNESS I did! I have been following the Protein Power program for three weeks w/some results (lost 6 lbs. and 3 inches) and I do feel MUCH better, but I have come to realize that I truly am ultra sensitive to carbs and chose to make the switch to Atkins. I am utterly convinced that lo-carb is and will always be a WOL for me. I feel like my prayers have been answered w/ a diet that I can live with and be successful in regaining my health. By truly following the Induction period, I know that I will do better w/out the additional carbs that P.P. allowed and also I am decaffinating myself as we speak (yes...I have a headache!) I have been surfing the web since the day I began eating low-carb and have been searching for a group to join because I have been so inspired by the dozens of personal web sites and journals that I have visited. Thank you for allowing me to join...I look forward to receiving and giving support to all of us who NEED this WOE for true health. :-)Kristi 260/155/160 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 12, 1999 Report Share Posted August 12, 1999 Hi , Thank you for your warm welcome. Today was the first day on the diet! So far so good. Actually I haven't been hungry at all and I'm really looking forward to the new energy that going to come my way. I have started a journal one section is for my thoughts and feelings and the other section is where I am writing and tallying my meals and carb. grams. I'll let you know how it's going!

Guest guest Posted August 12, 1999 Report Share Posted August 12, 1999 Thanks Celia: ) I can't even imagine eating pork rinds --lol. I never ate them before Atkins. Then again, I didn't eat spinach before this either and now I'm eating almost a bunch a day--go figure. I'll buy a small bag on the way to work tomorrow and see what they taste like. Using them as bread crumbs sounds interesting. I let you know how it goes. Have a happy Friday. Beth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 12, 1999 Report Share Posted August 12, 1999 Thanks for asking--I love to cook!! Beef Soup 2lbs stew beef cut in bite size pieces 1 med onion diced 2 carrots diced 1 28oz can of tomato puree a handful of fresh dill (you can use parsley too) 1 box of frozen chopped spinach salt and pepper to taste In a large soup pot brown the beef in some olive oil. Add the onion and carrots. Cook until soft and add the tomato puree. Add enough water to make it the consistancy you like. I fill the tomato can up with water and use that. Throw in the dill and season with salt and pepper. Simmer for about and hour and 1/2 or until the beef in very tender. Put the frozen spinach right in the soup pot and cook until hot again. I topped mine with pecarino romano grated cheese. It was awesome!!!! I don't know the carb count but it can't be much. Let me know if you like it.
