I ate way larger quantities than you did and still lost weight,
bk - 3 egg omelette made with good dolop of cream ,5-8 teaspons of cream cheese mixed in with mushrooms & onions and grated cheese would be a sample breakfast. sometimes add bacon or ham if I had enuf in fridge.
MT a protein cookie (either home made or a brought aikens bar) & a protein shake ( or 100gm vacum pack of meat)
Lunch - 2 boiled eggs dinner plate full of salad couple of 100% meat paddies or 100-200gm of ham or chicken.
tea massve steak or fish or 3 chick thighs boneless wrapped with bacon & stuffed with cream cheese sides of veges or salad (not potato okay sometimes half a potato)
pudding low carb jelly or choco mooouse with cream a treat would be to add boysenberries / raspberrys with whipped cream too
immmmmm this is making me HUNGRY anyway i brought loads of low carb & aitkens books of trademe and found my favourite receipes that way and adapted them to suit me.
found this amazing mince dish made with mushrooms & reduced cream and cream served with salad SO YUM!
just had a thought is that my gluten free normal is properly not normal normal LOL!!
I still have my low carb breakfasts, lunches now have a gluten free burger bun added if im at home or if at work I still eat salad / meat but eat also will have a mandarin & banana & apple and a tub of yoghurt as well. tea I will eat the potatoes. so as you can see I dont eat alot of carbs due to the gluten free lifestyle I have. at the weekends now im preggy I eat gf pancakes or hash browns with my bacon & egg.
I dont know what the normal everyday diet would be carbs count wise? 400-500? im guessing g.f I might be like 200-300 without counting wild guess?
but also made carbs are way worse than grown carbs if you understand? eg an apple is far better carb choice than a slice of bread, read up about nutritive carbs.
anyway enuf about me and my carbs. lol
happy weightloss to everyone hope what ever you choose works for you....
i personally dont believe fad diets like the atkins work long term... it has to be a permanent lifestyle change to be really effective! I also dont believe denying yourself a whole food group is that healthy either, nor is denying yourself any kind of "treat".
totally agree...DH & I have both tried it. I may work for a bit but you can not keep it up & keep the weight off & as soon as you eat carbs weight goes on.
