Thanks for the welcome. The first time I lost weight I did my version of atkins.... I cut out most sugar, and most carbs, but not all. I am not good with super restrictive diets, so I made my own. For mornings I would have an omelet or breakfast burritos in whole wheat wraps, for lunch I had the same thing every day (which could be boring but I really liked it, lol) I had a taco salad with either chicken, beef, or even steak - whatever we had. It was the salsa that was the kick . High favor helped me a lot. I rarely used any cips in it, but occasionaly I did
For dinner I ate things like chef salad, baked chicken cooked in some italian breadcrumbs (again - flavor), roasted chicken and carrots,etc
For me, it was about limiting my sugary drinks - I went from drinking like a pitcher a day or sweet tea, plus soda, to splenda tea and diet soda. I also started eating more popcorn and nuts and less ice cream and cookies. Popcorn isnt good for you, I know, unless you eat it plain, which I cant do, but it was a huge improvement over ice cream, and the fact that it felt like cheating made it easier for me to not sugar cheat.
