So I've been on Atkins since tuesday and got very tempted by the cream content :sigh: I'm not very good with dairy but thought the allergic reaction was mostly in my chest. Eating dairy gives me a croaky voice and a tight chest....something I thought I'd just ignore basically while having fun eating xtra thick double cream lol (I adore it)
It was gorgeous, and the cream cheese and cucumber wrapped in ham...lush mmmm.. but I'm suffering now.
I look like I'm 6 months pregnant I'm so bloated plus I gained 1/2 lb this morning!! :break_diet:
So its going to have to be a dairy free Atkins, which means my fat intake will be lower than is suggested for induction as I dont eat butter anyway (gross). The only fat content will be olive oil for frying and salad dressing, and the meat fat. I have got to drop the cheese and cream.
I'm wondering whether I should up the carbs a little to compensate? maybe to 30? as it does say thats what you aim for on maintenance, less fat and upping the carb?
I'm going to have to experiment a bit...or just do 20 carbs without the dairy but I already know that isnt very satisfying..I need a new source of fats so I dont feel deprived-having a rumbly stomach, because meats and veggies are not always enough. There is only so much meat I can eat in one sitting. :sigh:
At least I have hellmans ...anyone else have allegies or not able to eat dairy?
thanxs
