Thats fine. Some are bound for a wheel chair or recliner. I feel bless that I can see that that isn't my fate.
"People with kidney problems should never eat that much meat because the protein spills over into the urine and causes mega problems."
Ok, here's a typical day's diet.
Pre-Atkins:
Breakfast: Mt. Dew or Dr. Pepper (20oz. 2 before lunch)
Lunch: Whopper w/cheese, super sized meal. -Ham and cheese sandwich with bag of chips and soft drink (Probably 3 before dinner)
Dinner: Pasta with meat and/or cheese sauce, vegetable, Bread.
Snacks after dinner.
Atkins:
Breakfast: one or two eggs(scrambled, boiled, over easy) & sausage (small) or Omelet with cheese and salsa maybe add bacon or sausage depending on time. Tall glass of herbal tea with Splenda for the trip into work.
Lunch: Hardee's 1/3lb low carb burger or similar with water. Or leftover soup with water.
Dinner: The selections are amazing and the flavors great. Pork chops, chicken, salads, steaks, soups, etc... typical hmm the meals aren't typical, one meat, one cheese, some veggies (low starch) with water.
Desert: Sugar free Jello (yeah I know, aspartame. *slaps hand*) covered with whipped cream (heavy cream and Splenda, NUMMY!) topped off with an Herbal tea with cream in it.
The new diet has less of darn near everything including proteins and I never feel hungry. The desert tops me off and leaves me feeling satisfied for the rest of the night. I'm not hungry in the morning and I still don't like breakfast, but I'm sure it's one of the contributing factors in my loosing approx. 20 lbs since the first week of January. I'm able to wear my wedding ring again, I just put on a pair of jeans I haven't worn in over two years (36's!) and I'm looking forward to putting on those 34's I could never bear to throw away.
The first week wasn't easy, I was a full blown carb addict. Breads, Pasta's, chips, pretzels, soda's, Gatorade type drinks, candy, gummy bears!(oh my, that last one still hurts) I've said goodbye to.
People get a really weird idea that folks on Atkins eat more protein than they did before, I don't think that's the case at all. Loads more natural fat - loads less unnatural fat.
