My name is Tia, and I have done the Atkins diet in the past and lost over 100 pounds. I honestly could not remember what I did or how I did it. But here I am trying again.
I started dieting two months ago and the counting calories thing does not work for me, so I thought I would try Atkins again. I feel like when I did it in the past it was much more simpler, and it was a "if you want to lose weight do this, that and don't do this." For some reason I cannot rap my head around where to start, what to eat, am I eating to much or am I eating to little.
So put together a menu that I was hoping to get everyone's input on, that I will do for the first two weeks. And any other suggestions that everyone has would be greatly appreciated. I currently weigh 220 and that has fluctuated up and down for the past 4 weeks.
Breakfast: (2) hard broiled, and (4) strips of bacon, coffee with creamer (not a lot of creamer, I actually like to taste the coffee).
Snack 1: (1) Celery Stalk with cream cheese
Lunch: (2) cups greens with Ranch dressing, and half and avocado. With either Boneless/skinless chicken, Albacore Tuna, or baked pork chop
Snack 2: (1) Cheddar Cheese Sticks or (1) string cheese
Dinner: (2) fried eggs and (1) hamburger pattie with a slice of cheddar cheese and either green beans or bell peppers.
If a need for something sweet comes up I will have a sugar free jello with whip cream. And do my best to consume 4-6 16oz bottles of water a day.
Also if anyone has attempted to diet while quitting smoking have any tips they would be appreciated also.
