Hi I just started this atkins diet and trying to stay below 20 carbs a day. Just some basic questions?? Whats a good shopping list and how many carbs. How much do you lose you think within the first 2 months? Anything anyone would like to help me with I would enjoy any feedback you would like to give me thanks so much!!

May I ask what you eat for morning lunch and dinner not what you can eat all together just like what did you have today only?? If you don’t mind helping me out.

Hi,

I have been waffling about this for quite a while and really need some help.

First wondered where do most people that are here that are veggie, post?

Is there a forum for veggies doing LC? If not it sure would be great.

I want to stop the meat and all the fat for a while to work on my liver/gall bladder.

I want to stay as LC as possible because last time I did this the fruit I was eating caused very bad cravings.

I could really use some help.
What do you eat (can’t do cheese right now) besides soy (can’t have that either!) for protein? Beans, I am wondering if they are too high carb?

I can do eggs – but I can’t think of anything else?

Can anyone help?

I need meal ideas. I am really frustrated.
Besides salads (which I love – and will have one every day for lunch) what can I do for breakfasts and dinners?

I am really desperate.

How does for ex Stevia affect you? I’m thinking mainly about cravings, not weight loss effect. My thinking now is to avoid any kind of sugar (sugar, honey, maple syrup, dried fruit etc) except raw fruit. I’ve never used artificial sweeteners and never would (hey, health obsessed vegetarian for ten years ). For baking I just use cocoa, cream, vanilla powder or raw fruit. It’s not the real thing but it satisfies my longing for festiveness without me starting to binge. Is Stevia a good choice or does it set off cravings for you? I’ve never tried it so I know very little of its effects and now is not really a good time for me to experiment having just come out of the sugar daze.

And what about sprouted grain products, like sprouted bread? Do any of you eat sprouted grains and how does it affect you?

The reason I’m asking is that I’m sensing eating no sugar and no grains like bread is going to give me a "hollow" feeling at times like something is missing from my eating (it already has), and if there are foods that brighten up your eating experience without leading to binges, they might be worth trying.

I tried making oopsies yesterday and though they looked lovely mine tasted more like mini-omelettes than bread. Good yes, but still omelettish.
