Hi everyone, I was here before but doing Weight Watchers, which I got a bit tired of from all the counting, and I discovered I stopped losing on it too quickly even when I was sticking to plan, and I was still eating stuff that I dont think is good for me.
I am pretty sure I just dont tolerate carbs well anyway, and I have gotten to the point where I just want to feel well, I dont even care about the weight anymore, I worry about diabetes type 2, since I was borderline for the gestational diabetes and never really lost the weight I gained with pregnancy, and I need to get my carbs and sugars under better control, I see they are strongly linked.
Anyway I am just starting induction and I have some questions that I hope someone can answer...
Firstly, I have 2 kids and my husband is away a lot in the next weeks, when does the Atkins flu hit? Does everyone get it? How long does it take to get over it?
Secondly, I love eggs, but I if I eat them everyday I quickly hate them.... is there a good filling alternative for breakfasts on phase one? And is soy powder ok to use in phase one? I am thinking of making waffles as a breakfast food with soy flour?
Lastly, I just am not a huge meat fan, I cant eat big whacks of meat every day, are there also good vegetarian choices suitable for phase one?
I will keep looking through the recipes on the forum of course
Thats all I can think of at the moment! I'm sure I will be back with more questions.
Oh, anyone know if beetroot is allowed in stage one and if so what number of carbs I should count for those?
Thanks
