So I'm doing awesome with the low-carb thing. The 2 weeks I was in Induction I never went over 20 net carbs and was so all about maximizing my veggies. Now I'm 4 days into giving phase 2 a try. You start off with 25 net carbs. I'm still not going past that and still trying to eat as many veggies and berries as allowed. Yesterday I only took in like 15 net carbs. HOWEVER, my calories have been going up ever since my stupid TOM came into town. I'm maxing out at like 1600 sometimes but when I first started I was sticking around 1200. I'm finding that it's the fatty stuff with all the calories. I know I sound stupid saying that... of course the fatty stuff has more calories but i don't know. I haven't weighed in yet for Phase 2 but if my loss is like a pound then I'm gonna have to seriously get my calories in check. Practice not perfection. I'm totally dedicated to eating better and feeling better and losing weight so I'll keep trying to figure it all out. Also, I may have a problem with my nightly Atkins Endulge Caramel Nut Chew Bar. There just so darn good!

I never really paid much attention to my caloric intake on Atkins, but I did not eat red meat very much and limited myself to one Atkins product a day. I do keep another in tow for emergencies only, but I will have to drink a full bottle of water with it and it will replace a large meal. The first 2 weeks are hard so be proud of yourself, don't allow any room for failure. You can do this! Your weight loss is inspiring thus far. I just started again on Monday, but having small kids is "forcing" a few bites of this and that throughout the evening. Anyway...great job!

Thanks Kieshart! I'm just trying to be honest about everything. Hopefully people like you will have insight or are going through the same thing. About the Atkins products, I have on a couple of occasions had a bar for breakfast and one for desert. It makes sense to only have one a day. I'll totally start doing that. I'm drinking tons of water but allowing myself a packet of crystal light a day or two. Do you think that's ok? WELCOME BACK! I can't imagine doing this while taking care of children. I do consider my dog my child but I know it's different.
