Who's doing the Atkins or low carb deal??

[Gamble]

my boss did the atkins diet and lost a lot of weight but he thinks when he got off the diet and ate normal or whatever he did after caused him to be diabetic
That kind of worries me when I start to eat more normal foods

It's hard to know what will happen.
I have hypoglycemia, and my sugar has been fine since starting.

I've been eating the same foods every day.
So if you can't handle eating the same food over & over it makes the low carb harder.

Ham & cheese omelette every morning.
Hot dogs, cheese & celery for lunch.
Chicken breasts, cheese & celery for dinner.
Hamburgers or pork steaks mixed in.

Sugar free jello or sugar free Popsicle for desert.

It's definitely getting old, but I want this gut GONE.

Some guy eat pork rinds when they need a snack, zero carbs, zero sugar.
I just eat more celery.

When I do cheat during the day, I try to eat chicken strips.
Has bread on there, but still zero sugar.

I feel bad for her, every time she gets on a roll she gets her period and when it's over she gains 5 pounds or so. so she is up 5-6 right now.

You are not doing yourself any favors with that. Yeah you lost a pound, because when you knocked yourself out of ketosis, your body retained some water. Then you lost that water weight by the next morning. You really need to not cheat on this diet at all. Dont cheat for a week, then cheat once on like a saturday. Then back at it on sunday through the next week. I have been able to lose steadily this way. Im down 47lbs now since 6/7. But those little "I've been good" meals or treats completely stop the process. There is no room for them in a low carb diet.

To be honest I don’t think I have ever gotten into keto mode. I have the test strips and I get as high 2 spots from the top. For me it’s about low carb not exactly keto. The wife is full keto and I am playing along but I am keeping my carbs to a minimal

Anything positive on the strips is ketosis. Its like being pregnant. You either are or you are not. If you are in ketosis, then you are doing it right. Keep up the good work. Lower the calorie intake, and you will be losing weight like crazy.

OOOOO I didn't know that. I thought you had to be all the way purple to be in that mode.
interesting...

Thanks

I'm getting "Back on the horse" again starting Monday Morning with the TCG Weight Loss Competition

Well tomorrow will be a bitch.
We went racing yesterday & today, and I cheated my butt off.
Big ass sub sandwich, big ass piece of cake, 1/2 lb burger & fries, mounds bar

So I'll probably gain 5 lbs Looks like celery breakfast, lunch & dinner the next 3 days.

Well I only gained 2 lbs over the W/E, so all that cheating and only 2 lbs I can live with.

Now I got good news & bad news this week

Good news #1, I finally passed my physical, so I get my NHRA license again
#2, I still lost 45 lbs since starting no carbs, no sugar.

Bad news #1 I don't weigh 211 lbs, I weigh 220 lbs My fancy digital scale sucks.
The scale at the VA said I was 220, and I didn't eat between leaving home and getting to the hospital.
So now I have 21 lbs to reach 199 instead of 12 lbs
#2, I have plantar fasciitis and it hurts like hell.
I was hoping to get some exercise in before winter hit, but this frigging hurts.
It's right where the pedal is

Went to a party for the Bears game and was the talk of the day

Only a couple have seen me since I started the diet and most were shocked
