Today we went to a favorite restaurant and i had their blue cheese burger without a bun or jo jo's, and asked them to sub a vegetable. And they gave me broccoli. And I bought a steamer today for cooking my veggies.
Suggestions from Georgie on Atkins forum when I asked for someone to offer suggestions since I am not losing weight since my initial water weight loss:
"owsley...i have a few suggestions...
definitely really try and get those calories down. they are still pretty high, the older we get the slower our metabolism is. so try for the 1500-1800..but try and stay more consistant around 1600 for right now (saw your rdi is 1500 and we can usually eat a little more with atkins advantage) so let's try 1600 for a while. try and get your fats down as well to around 60%. keep your protein over 100g a day..not sure how tall are you?? next, make sure to get in 12-15 net carbs in veggies every day. even though we do track net carbs..try and watch your total carbs and don't let them get over 40-50.
how much water are you drinking? i'd suggest 80-100oz for your current weight.
you also seem to have a lot of processed stuff like bacon, hot dogs etc...processed meats should be eaten sparingly and not every day. you also seem to have a lot of dairy - cheese, cream cheese, try and limit all dairy to 4oz or less a day.
when did you add macadamia nuts and are they plain or salted? we see a lot of people stall with salted nuts. try and stick to raw ones when you do. if you stalled or gained when you added them, they should have been the first thing to eliminate.
remember anything artificially sweetened is limited to 3 servings per day. some people find they can't have that much and still lose.
today looks decent except...not enough veggies and too much fats. try for more protein and veggies today if you can.
things to think about..what cha think?"
So I am going to freeze my coconut bark with nuts and make some without nuts sometime this week. And make a side salad for dinner with one piece of bacon for topping.
