This is an excerpt from the new Atkins book, out in America but not yet in the UK:
Chapter 6, page 67
"Don't count calories, although we do ask you to use common sense. In the past, some individuals made the mistake of thinking that they could stuff themselves with protein and fat and still lose weight. If the pounds are falling off, forget about calories. But if the scale won't budge or it seems to be taking forever to lose, you might want to do a reality check, caloriewise. (See page 107.) You could probably guess that too many calories will slow weight loss, but here's a surprise: too FEW will slow down your metabolism, also threatening your progress."

Hey people!!
Sorry my weeked is sunday and monday and I always soooo busy to get online at home!! How are you guys doing? hope u had a fab weekend and if ur in the UK.. I hope your loving the sunshine!! *high five*
Thanks for the info people! i havent had the chance to actually log my food anywhere for ages apart from here! I think my calories intake is not as high as 1500 ad before atkins i was doing WW and also taking xenical which requires a lof fat diet. I used to track my food on FoodFocus and i was always around the 1200 mark! I eat more or less the same food now.. maybe more cheese and eggs. I will defo get back on foodfocus tho and see how im doing just as a guideline.
Also might be work making a list of my weekly food / meals and working out thier cal/ carb/ protien per meal and taking it from there?
Most of my meals are home made so i will have to use sparks recipie builder first to work out whats in my portions!.. Ahh see alot of hard work and very little time!!
Anyway Its my lil boys 2nd B-day party on Saturday! I cant wait! Hiw b-day is actually on the friday before but we'r having the party on thr weekend! I will be enjoying the party so im already confessing to be off plan! although i will try to be as good as possible! avoide too many carbs! To be fair there will be some carb friends food but i want to have some cake! ;-)
got all the bits and bobs sorted! we are having a thomas the tank engine theme.. and a bouncy castle!! woop!
