Lowcarbfriend

I cheated yesterday and today. Big time. Like pancakes, french fries, pizza and ice cream cheat.

It started with some sugar free chocolate and then my cravings went out of control. I’m sure four weeks on Atkins with only one lb lost hadn’t really helped, either.

I need to avoid franken-foods. Obviously they trigger cravings and problems. Not sure why I’d never made that connection before… in hindsight, it’s obviously been a saboteur on many occasions.

And I have to commit to a lifetime woe. I have to do two weeks of induction and then add 5g every week or two.

I have to do cardio every day and weights 5x a week.

And the number on the scale does not change any of these things.

I just hate that I’m the typical yo-yo dieter and that I’ve never had a healthy bmi and every time I start to practice good eating and exercise habits, I sabotage myself in some ridiculous way.

It’s always a secret sabotage, too. How could I admit to my friends and coworkers that I secretly ate all that stuff after I made such a fuss about refusing carbage that they had offered?

But back to the beginning. It’s eggs and bacon for breakfast tomorrow, then tuna salad with two cups of lettuce, then corned beef and one cup of cabbage.

But I do wonder how many more beginnings there will be.

turnip casserole with caramelized onions, and my whole house smells un-freakin-believable!!!!!!!

*cannot stop drooling*

OK, I need help.

First, the stats. 6′ 3" 38 year old Male. I started at 309 lbs., and am currently at 283 lbs. I have been limiting myslef to right at or less than 20 carbs a day, and am stuck where I am.

My BMI is 2034, and my recommended daily caloric intake is 3152. Here is a two day example of my menu:

Day One

Breakfast

1 serving Peanuts
4 slices Bacon
4 Breakfast Sausage Links

Snack

3 Servings Pork Rinds

Lunch

3 Grilled Chicken Tenders
1 Smoked Pork Rib

Dinner

1 Sausage Link
1 Cup Lettuce
2 Servings Casaer Dressing
1 Medium Smoked Pork Chop
1 Smoked Pork Rib

Day Two

Breakfast

2 tblspn Whipped Cream
1 Cup Almonds
5 Slices Bacon

Snack

2 Servings Pork Rinds

Lunch

4 Servings Rotessorie Chicken
1 Cup lettuce
3 mini peppers

Dinner

3 Servings Rotessorie Chicken
1 Cup Lettuce
2 Servings Casaer Dressing
1 Medium Smoked Pork Chop
1 Smoked Pork Rib

I exercise 5-6 Days a week, and I am totally stuck. I am beyond frustrated. Can anyone help me out? Thanks.

P.S. I also use smokless tobacco.

Okay, I am so psyched–I have lost over 40 pounds since mid January!!! : I actually lost 7 pounds this week alone! I have been really limiting my carbs and my appetite has shrunk and I have no cravings–except for PMS time.

Typically I will eat an egg or two and a sausage patty for breakfast. Lunch is egg salad, tuna salad, or chicken breast etc. Dinner will be either a small steak, pork chop, half dozen wings along with a veggie like broccoli or green beans. Also, a handful of pistachios everyday. I find that when I do not eat salad as much I lose more–I guess cuz it has some sugar (store bought ranch) and more carbs of course.

I am trying to lose in order to get pregnant this summer possibly…as well as a thousand other reasons of course. But the point is I want to lose fast due to the summer deadline. (Us school employees like to have spring babies to have the spring and summer off). Also, I am in a biggest loser competition at work and am determined to win!

Anyway–I hope this motivates someone. This board is the absolute BEST

Well lately I beleive I have been going over 20g or at least I’ve been eating things that I didn’t eat in the beginning and I still seem to be losing weight or staying the same which is good. I’ve even been drinking like 1 atkin shake everyday and I’ve been eating sugar free popscicles. One reason I may still be losing weight is because I do have to remember to eat. I don’t think about food like I used to. So I basically eat a hearty breakfast. Snack throughout the day and eat a nice size dinner. I’m going on my 4th week of atkins tomorrow.

Alright, so I am somewhat confused here. I was going to make Moonchild’s Cheeseburger Bacon Quiche but with ground turkey instead. So, I put all the ingredients into fitday with the ground turkey, and it tells me that the nutrition info is almost DOUBLE what is listed here on the page for it being made with ground beef. And yes, for the same amount of servings. Now I’m confused, Am I doing something wrong with calculating the info. or is fitday really off, or are these the wrong nutritin info for the recipe?

Here is the nutrition info. for with ground beef for 8 servings:
Per 1/8 Recipe: 296 Calories; 26g Fat; 13g Protein; 2g Carbohydrate; trace Dietary Fiber; 2g Net Carbs

And here is what fitday.com tells me it is with ground turkey subbed for the beef:
382.8 Calories; 22g fat; 18.83 protein; 5.21g carbs
