I did the Atkins Diet several years ago, and had great success with it. But I am not sure if I was doing exactly right but I did lose weight, and then gained it back after high school and a baby. I have been doing Calorie Counting and lost about 30lbs but my weight has really stalled. I haven't lost anything in about 2.5 weeks. I know that isn't long, but I am part of a Biggest Loser Contest in my hometown and I wanna win. So I have decided to do Atkins for 2 weeks just to change my body chemistry and maybe get things rolling again.

My question is: When eating eggs should you eat the YOLK or just the white. Cuz with calorie counting I toss the YOLK, but I think if I remember right the yolk is okay on the Atkins?

I have successfully counted calories since July and lost almost 60 pounds in these last 8 months. I eat 2 whole eggs most mornings. They are an excellent source of protein and help me feel satisfied.

My trainer tells me not to eat the Yolk because of the fat content, I dunno. I am actually going to see a nutritionist next saturday so maybe she can help me.

Eat the whole egg. The cholesterol content, bah, unless you have a big problem with your cholesterol problems.

On Atkins you have to be unafraid of fat-- I kind of question whether it is a good idea to stop and go like that, or if you can really "change your body chemistry" as quickly as 2 weeks.
