    I really want to lose weight bad! I've lowered my carb intake. I'm doing good with it, but I wanted to know if you can share with me what you ate for your meals & snacks. Thanks, Tara
  • Way to go, Kim!!!!!



    Six years of maintaining your excellent results is clearly a lifestyle change. Thanks for your ongoing inspiration, insights and continually contributing and helping others achieve good results. I admire how you pay it forward.

    You are "Larry's Angel," and I believe you are also one of Dr. A's angels!

    Hi Tara
    Since you're posting this under the Atkins forum, I am going to assume you are interested in doing Atkins. If you've read anything I've written here, you aren't going to be surprised at what I'm going to say, READ THE BOOK before you begin the plan That is the most important thing to assure you understand exactly how & why this plan works and how to do it correctly.
    As for what I eat for meals & snacks, the crutial thing is to stick with unprocessed foods...meats, poultry, fish, veggies, salads, eggs, cheese. Snacks are usually a cheese stick or hard boiled eggs with a little mayo, tuna salad, chicken salad, egg salad, cut up raw broccoli or cauliflower dipped in ranch dressing.
    You CAN do this!!!!
    All the best to you!
