5% carbs, 35% Protein and 60% Fat. This works really well for me. At this time I am not trying to track net carbs. I just track total carbs and try to keep them around 20 per day. Usually I find myself a little on the low side for carbs and have to force myself to bring them up to the Atkins suggested level for induction.

Before starting Akins I was a calorie counter I and used MFP for tracking. I have used it for many years and I feel very comfortable using it

I've used MFP then switched to ATKINS Carb Counter but it's very limited in its search and the counts are wrong on a lot of the foods :(. I'm switching back to MFP :). So do you copy and paste from there to put on this forum?

Way to go Skelley!! Woo hoo !

Went out to dinner - family in town and did great on the entree- Flounder and green beans. But had margaritas and they were not sugar free :(. I told the bartender I'll bring my sugar free margarita mix with me next time and she said she could keep it behind the bar w my name on it :).
Went to the health food store and bought some almond flour, hazelnut flour and unsweetened coconut. Not sure what I can make with it all (haha - forgot I can't bake or cook!) but will look up recipes. I'm thinking fish can be "oven fried" w egg wash and almond flour.
Plz feel free to post recipes and I'll search and ck Pinterest :)

Ya'll, can you give me ideas of foods that are grab and eat that I can keep on hand? I have 3-4 bad days per week (fibromyalgia) and on those days it's all I can do to walk to the fridge, let alone try to *think* of something to fix and then fix it. That, more than anything else is threatening to derail me. :(

When you complete a days food on MFP you get an option for "View Full Report (Printable)" I go there and highlight the report and copy it. Then I paste it into Excel and format the cells NO WORD WRAP and NO MERGING CELLS. Finally I highlight column A copy it and paste it on 3FC. Very easy once you get used to it.

Good Morning All!

Had my first weigh-in with WW yesterday and I was down 3.4lbs for the week...:carrot:

I've still been tracking with MFP as well, but between that and tracking the WW pts it's getting to be a bit much... AND I literally weigh and measure pretty much everything I eat and drink to be fairly exact... I just don't trust myself to "eyeball" my portions... that is one of the good things about WW's no matter what way of eating you're following like Atkins or whatever... It's all about portion control.

I really think some of the keys to my latest success of getting down from the 180's to the 160's these last couple of months has just been from finally stopping the late night eating and no more of "That was really good... I think I'll have "just a little more..." Now I decide what I'm going to eat, prepare it and weigh and measure my portions... Put it on a plate and that's it... no "seconds"

So far this seems to be working... Now I just have to figure out the whole "snacks" "desserts" and "treats" thing... Lol... :dizzy:

Thanks for the info :). I use my iPad or iPhone to track but I'll see if I can do it from there

Trip Switch...
Congrats on your weight loss..

On induction, this week I lost 1 pound. I had a slip up and it would have been more, so this week I will have to not slip up. I forgot it and went on, but sure is not worth it..

Larry if you omitted the buns and had water vs. all the other beverages available at cook out, you did well indeed.

Family still in town- eating out a lot and managed to only gain 2 lbs- probably water weight but am ready to get back fully on plan tomorrow. I kept giving away the carbs on my plate to family members and the dogs. Lol!
Last night's dinner was rib eye with broccoli and potatoes- slid the potatoes on my DH's plate :). On the boat today had a subway greek steak sub - threw the bread to the fish!
Chugging water now! Good news is I got into my board shorts today and could actually breathe. Can't wait till everything fits!
