Please, check my "fitday"!
 

I have been doing Atkins on and of for more than a year now. I lost about 12 the firts two weeks on Induction and then ..the peanuts took over! :rolleyes:
I now see that it was all out of control :eek: so I decided to restart and do the Induction phase all over. I'm telling you... eating lowcarb is soo hard here in Sweden! The LC wave just recently started to spread a little :daizy:

That was 3 months ago and I'm now on the On Going Weightloss Phase, still eating 20-25 carbs/day and I have started to limit my cals to 1500-1800 cal/day. My fat intake is 70% and my daily supplements consist of a multi vitamin/mineral, beta carroten (<-Swedish), calcium complex and I'll be getting more Omega3's. I drink my 36 oz of water.
I don't know what els to do really. How much workout do I really have to do?

Well, here is my fitday page:

:help:
Just give it to me harsh! I want to hear what kind of no:skull:no's I'v been doing.

If it looks wierd for a couple of day it's because I'm giving the Egg Fast a try.
Wish me luck!

I only looked at a few days, but ... isn't that a lot of nuts? I love them but avoid them most days (and severely limit them other days).

Hi. I could have written your post. Yesterday.....a desperate woman....I did Stillman's, I lost 2 pounds, which is great for me. I am a peanut addict as well, and cut them out a while back.....no change.....so I cut out heavy cream.....no change. I do bodybuilding 5 days a week, but plan on adding 2-3 days of aerobics to see if that will get me down to 135. Here is the Stillman link, it's from this website if you are interested.
http://www.lowcarb.org/stillman.html I will not be doing it today, but plan to go back to it tomorrow and for a few days afterwards. (today I'm going to the coast.) Anyway, this probably isn't any help, but for what it's worth....there it is. Good luck on finding your answers. :)

:blush: I knew someone would point out the nuts. When I ate the roasted n salted peanuts I could NEVER limit them! :skull: I stopped buying them and got the raw ones, much better! Those I could limit but sometimes not, so now I don't even buy them... now it's almonds! I got them, ate them and a couple of days ago I roasted them, "cinnamon bun" :yum: spiced them and whent NUTTS!

Galatia- Hmm, I checked Stillman's out. How long do you stay on that diet, how many calories and what is the % ratios? Is'nt that a lowfat diet? I also looked at your pictures, wow! I guessing thats your goal. Maybe we can help each other out. I could check your fitday journal and you mine :idea:
I'm sure both of us could get a better idea of what works or not that way. Deal? :D

I'n now doing the Egg Fast and when I'm done the nuts will be pretty much be gone! I know that it has been to much of the "carbs/fats/prot"s, but then again almond are only 1 Net Carb per talblespoon (0.1/almond). How many should I limit them to when I do eat them?

OXOXOXOXO :wave:

I think it's an individual thing AND depends on how good you are limiting yourself. I've sworn off peanuts completely, and now I have a bit of a problem with pistachios, although it's not as bad. I refuse to eat them unless I'm short on calories/fat for the day (which happens a lot, thankfully; LOL). So I use 'em when I need them, not when I want them. And I try to drink extra water if I have them, to make up for the salt.

Good luck!!
