Remember to pay attention to your body about when you've had enough to eat. If you're buttering or "fatting up" those veggies, you should be feeling full without large servings as fat satiates. I eat Brussels Sprouts, had them last night, caramelized in the oven with butter and bacon fat and some seasonings and 1/2 c was plenty along with a ribeye and I could not finish my steak.

I am a Westman patient and follower, who trained under Dr. Atkins. He is a firm believer in eating til satiated, but not beyond. That was the hardest lesson I learned was listening to my body say enough is enough. Does the Atkins plan you're following allow for unlimited veggies? Westman limits veggies, but allows meats to satiate.

Nothing will take that fluid off of me like drinking water. You are on the right track. Speaking of track, you might try writing down or keeping track of every morsel for a bit to see where you might be overstepping. We are here for you. Keep posting!
