Stay WARRIOR STRONG!
Carb-Free Food for Thought:
CARBOHYDRATES—not fat—are the principal elements in food that FATTEN people.
They do this both by preventing you from burning up your own fat and by stimulating your body to make more fat and by being used to make that fat.
Protein and fat combinations alone do not do this!
~ Dr. Atkins | A ’72 pg 7
Onward and ↓ DOWNWARD, WARRIORS! We've GOT THIS! Woot! Woot!

I agree, it's worth using a zero carb AS for sure and use those carbs for foods we actually eat, JMO!

Jo,
I will also start posting my food as well. I noticed you guys don't post that on this thread so I didn't want to bore everyone with my food list. I would love a 2nd or 3rd set of eyes to keep me in-line
|
You won't bore us with your food list and we'd love to help you possibly figure out why you're not losing or losing so slowly....
As for posting what I eat, for the most part, I eat pretty much the same things over and over again since the very beginning of this journey.
I've never deviated from the original A '72 Induction Foods List. I am an A '72 Induction Lifer!
I’ve truly embraced this statement from A’ 72 pg 263

The best decision is probably to stay pretty much on the very low carbohydrate diet on which you lost; only now you can feel free to deviate in small ways.

I know I have been successful now for these past 3.5 years in Maintenance b/c I have stayed on the very low carb WOE on which I originally lost all the weight...
Fair warning, my food seems pretty boring to most people but I
what I get to eat b/c it keeps me at a healthy weight and the biggest PLUS is that it keeps all my food related issues under control!
Here's what I have on any typical day. I only eat once a day b/c I seriously suffer from a chronic illness called “I’m only hungry when I start putting FOOD in my mouth!” syndrome!
Breakfast: 3-4 cups java with 1 c. almond milk and 8 drops of liquid sucralose
Dinner: 100-120 grams of protein * which is either chicken or seafood (tuna, shrimp or fish) or egg white omelette cooked in 1/2 T of EVOO and 115 g (4 oz) leafy green salad sprinkled with 1 T of perm cheese with homemade garlic vinaigrette made with 1/2 T of EVOO.
I don't snack, ever.
I drink water most days, occasionally drink diet sodas, hot tea on cold days. I've never been concerned with my consumption of dt sodas or things like Crystal Light. The AS doesn't seem to affect me one iota!
* this is not the weight of the protein but how much actual protein is in the chicken or seafood, etc. Depending on the protein, it could weigh 10, 12 or 14 oz.

I had to take it off the menu for us. Salmon is a favorite in our house but it cost 35 to 40 just to feed 4 and thats over our budget
|
I totally agree! Imma glad I don't eat beef b/c the price of beef is crazy expensive as well!

Menu for today is:
Am-coffee 1tsp of HWC and 1 packet of stevia
Lunch-3 eggs cooked with 1 TBS of butter 2 pieces of bacon
Dinner-5oz of Homecooked chuck roast w 1 cup of salad greens dressed with 1/2 Tbs of olive oil
Feel free to make any recommendations.

Your food is perfect! I see no hidden carbs, etc... WTG!

I drink water, but I will have 1 diet coke daily. Its a morning thing for me. Call me weird, but I can not stand to drink water first thing in the morning for some reason!
|
I see nothing wrong with you drinking dt soda. It's on the A '72 Induction Foods List!

I know all of you will feel better when your MIL is out of the hospital and recovering! This has been mentally exhausting for sure, so the moping along & feeling like doing nothing is quite normal. Just take care of yourself, my friend! Sending healing vibes to all of you there!
