Day 13

Weight: 262.2! officially down 9 pounds since October 21st. Nice :)

After this weekend's carbtastic fiasco, I'm re-committing to keep tight to Induction guidelines this week!

Breakfast: Atkins Advantage Cafe Caramel Shake

Lunch: 1 chicken thigh, 1 cup green beans (breaking up my lunch into two meals today, keeping my portions small, to help counteract any potential damage i may have caused with my pasta fiesta last night)

Day 4

Weight: 266 :) steadily going down

Breakfast: 2 hardboiled eggs, coffee with HWC and SF coffeemate

I still have this nagging headache. I think my body is having withdrawals from sugar. It's used to its daily hit :(

Lunch: chicken/mushroom/spinach alfredo

Snack: medium coffee with cream/SF coffeemate

16 oz water 

Dinner (YIKES!!!!) four-cheese ravioli & lasagna from Maggiano's. I caved to the carbs :(

no workout

94.7 ounces water

Snack Time: Justin's Maple Almond Butter

I always see these little packets in the health food section at Kroger. I decided to try one out today for my afternoon snack. One packet contains 190 calories, 6 grams of protein, 3 grams of fiber and 5 grams of net carbs. A little high for Induction, but its great if you just need something a little sweet to take the edge off a craving. Its nutty and woody, a little more textured than peanut butter, and  really sticks to your ribs! Best of all, its all-natural: just dry-roasted almonds, maple sugar, palm fruit oil, and sea salt. I will definitely buy again. They're only a buck apiece :)

Breakfast: 2 deviled eggs, Mcdonald's coffee with cream n Splenda

Atkins Gets a Bad Rap.

When someone mentions the Atkins diet, most people immediately think of meat, eggs, cheese....and lots of it.
