Thanks love2be, I hope the hungry feelinmg will go away because I really wanna stick to it and loose weight. I think not drinking soda is playing a big role in my hunger feelings, because I always felt full when drinking it and now I don't have that feeling since I cut back on the soda.
Today, I am not a poster child for good eating though.. I have been celebrating my birthday and have had alot of "junk" food.. I actually can't wait to get back on track though.. I feel kinda yucky and bloated today!
As far as diet resources.. I used to be very active on an atkins board.. Kinda like the SD of dieting.. They were very helpful and lots of resources.
Google atkins diet bulletin board
On the water.. I can't remember if you posted how much you wanted to lose, but I remember when I started low carb in 2003, the web sites recommended 64 ounces of water plus an extra 8 ounces for every 20 (or maybe 25) pounds you needed to lose.. For me, that is alot of water.. I usually drink around 80-90 ounces a day

Basically he said
1 - Make sure to drink your water
2 - When sitting down to a meal always eat your proteins first.
3 - Snacks should be protein centered as well to avoid an insulin spike that will make you hungry sooner..
4 - Overall focus on getting a minimum of 3 grams of protein for every 2 grams of carbs.
His view was that if you focused on the above the rest (calories/nutrition) would fall in place on its own.
It may sound like eating only 1.5 times more protein than carbs isn't very low carb however considering how many carbs are in the littlest thing it is quite low carb.
For example (Open Faced Sliced Chicken Sandwich):
1 slice wheat toast - 9 carbs 3 proteins
1.5 ounces (2 slices oven roasted chicken breast) - 1 carbs 7 proteins
1 serving mayo - 2 carbs 0 protein
Total = 12 cabs 10 proteins (EQUALS TOO MANY CARBS)
Oddly enough though something like cream cheese has 9 carbs to 14 protein so totally fine on my docs version of diet. (Sour Cream not so much)
Cottage Cheese was one of the best with a ratio of 8 carbs to 27 protein - I often would blend it into a consistency similar to Sour Cream and use it in recipes as a partial if not full substitute for sour cream or even milk. Was great for making high protein low carb sugar free puddings, and not too shabby for making chip dip. (a great substitute for chips was Turkey Pepperoni microwaved between paper towels until crisp)
Problem was I fell back into lazy ways and haven't wanted to spend the time necessary to eat right no matter what you consider healthy.
Ank: Sorry there are going to be more tests for Mavis soon but glad you are getting answers along the way.
Had 2 super shopping trips today. Took DS to visit a friend an hour away and while he was napping, I was able to hit 2 stores. After the last store, I looked at my GPS for the next closest store but turned around once I got to a dirt road and some barns. Apparently T was 500 ft from there...
I'm not sure what's going to work well the atkins is hard I don't feel full cutting out my carbs so far, but maybe I'm used to being stuffed, so I will keep trying.
Today I had oatmeal for breakfast w/ a cup of coffee but I only drank 1/3 of it,
1/2 a peanut butter sandwich and cran straw juice for lunch, and a cup of carrots sticks and a quarter sz dallup of ranch w/ water for a snax.
Sooooo, you can technically have a piece of chocolate or a slice of greasy pizza or whatever and still be within your points for the day and be just fine. But it's a lot easier to eat healthier because then you can eat more....so in a way you don't want to eat bad because if you do you'll use up all your points and have none by the end of the day
So I'm thinking of making buffallo wings for the family , I might bake me a chicken breast and lightly baste with hotwing sauce. And salad for a side.
My tooth hurts sooo bad. I had a cavity in Jan and the dentist said it prob needed a root canal but he would try the filling first. Now it for sure needs a root canal. Dentist also said he could just pull it for $75.00. So do I pay almost a grand to keep it and do a root canal or $75 to pull it? It's in the VERY back. Do I need it? Feels so weird to have to decide if I need to keep a tooth. I'm only in my mid thirties. Is this normal?
I need to decide ASAP cause it hurts like hell.
