I am 5 weeks on Atkins. The thing is, eating is just something that I schedule now. I don’t find myself nuts about food. Are you eating sugar-free jello?

FWIW - I have lost 20 pounds on Atkins. I’ve managed to stay on it and have kept most of the weight off for two years now.

Atkins however is very unforgiving of “cheating”. Stay away from refined sugar, wheat, corn and starch and you’ll be OK. I’ll treat my self to a baked potato on the weekend and maybe a sandwich with some good German rye or pumpernickel. Get high fiber bread because the fiber reduces your carbohydrate count. Domestic puffy air loaf white bread is garbage.

Use SPLENDA as your sugar substitute. Less issues than other artificial sweeteners.

Tired of scrambled eggs? Here’s a wild Saturday breakfast I came up with,

Smash up a bag of Barbecue Pork Rinds and coat a pound of chicken livers. Fry ‘em up in some butter and oil.

Thar’ be some fine eatin’, I guarantee!

I eat it sometimes, not really my thing though.

This diet would be really really easy if I wasn’t going to school. The only thing to eat around my school is fast food. So I’ve resorted to making what I call “steak on a stick” to take to school, I strip some ribeye and skewer it and grill it and take a couple of those to school.

I go through about 1 1/2 bottles of propane a week lol.

But yea, I never thought I would say this but steak has gotten a little boring lol.
