[natalieann]

hey everyone first day on atkins today after lipotrim for 15 weeks, bit worried im gona have a gain this week with eating food,

today ive had

brekki-bottle diet coke and some ham

dinner- microwaved (so not fat used) omlette made with 3 small eggs with a red pepper, half an onion and a grating of cheese on top, and 2 table spoons of helmans mayo

tea-
omlette made with 3 eggs, a pepper, half onion, 3 mushrooms, fried in butter with a salmon fillet and 1 tablespoon of mayo

and ive also had 1 coffee and 1 tea with two teaspoons in each and full fat cream

im just unsure what carbs i need to count and what not to, advice me please lol

Hi & welcome. Forget the onions at this stage, far too high. Use spring onions/scallions instead (they're less than a 1/3 of the carbs!) Cut out the diet coke just for now. Drink loads of water &, as Jim would say, eat some greens hun!

Good luck

hey hun thanks, will do from now on, so what carbs do i have to count and which dont i?

Yup, what Cinta said. The citric acid in fizzy drinks can slow weight loss. You count all carbs from packaging and should be having about 25 a day. There's a really good sticky about starting Atkins that's worth a read with lots of valuable info.

hi i thougth inductuction was 20 perday?
and will switch the coke to water, been aving that on LP anyway

 

[coffeelover]

Oops think your right about the 20 not 25. I usually end up having 25 and works for me. 20 is what you should have on induction. Sorry.

 

[Cinta]

Yep 20 is right. Check Jim's sticky above 'so you're thinking of stating Atkins'. Lots of info. He's always here for lots of advice too, we're a friendly bunch

Hi Natalie, why no fat love. It's good for you, Atkins says you have to eat fat to burn fat.

Welcome.

wow yeah looking at your losses id deffo be really happy with those, and im really glad to see a few others have gone from vlcds to atkins, so seems a good decision

Hiya Nat! :wave_cry: Hope you do really well on Atkins, isn't it great to be eating again? Do you have the book yet? It's really handy to refer to. Best of luck for this week - do it properly and you'll be fine.

I agree about the onions - tiny amounts only - I only put them in my pate now for flavour, also red pepper is highish, but if you counted it then that's fine.
