Hi everyone!
I've followed Atkins before in the past but stopped because I was doing it by ear so was craving healthy food after a while, in retrospect I wasn't eating enough vegetables or measuring carbs, but I did lose a lot of weight of atkins and enjoyed it, so i'm giving it another go. I intend to follow the plan properly and get enough veggies in, so far so good!
Today I have had scrambled eggs with ham and cream cheese for breakfast, then for a quick late lunch I had ready cooked chicken legs and thighs, and this evening I am going to have a proper beefburger with salad. Felt really full from my meals so far!
Only thing I haven't done right is the milk, i'm on 'the one' milk, but once this bottle has gone i'll be getting either cream to dilute or finding some low carb milk for my cups of tea.
My weight has been going up and up so I feel really glad that I am doing something about it that is going to work. I'm going to stick with it through to maintaince hopefully, i'd like to lose about 1 stone 10lbs (24 lbs).
So hi everyone! Look forward to sharing tips
