   Loving low carb
 Was on Atkins this summer and lost 35 lbs.  Very easy.  Just started back Monday cuz I regained 8 lbs since Thanksgiving.  Lost 3.5 lbs since Monday.  It makes you feel so much better, no more bloating.  Eating meat, eggs, cheese, nuts, Slim Jims, even made low carb Cream Brulee which was fantastic!!   Good luck!
 Carb attack for dinner
 I know you all will think this is horrible but it was one of my faves from grade school.  Canned ravioli and mashed potatoes.  Can anyone say carb overload???  lol.
 Carb attack all day long....

 And Remember with Carb counting
 
 Be sure to deduct the grams of fiber listed in food from the total carb count.  On the back of the food label, if it shows that particular food to have 10 gm of carb and 8 gm of fiber, deduct the gm of fiber.  End result, you'll be getting only 2 gm of carbs. 
 Another good thing to drink is Crystal Light - Comes in all flavors, you know.  Also, I enjoyed iced tea with lemon and splenda and cold iced coffee with a couple of tablespoons of heavy cream and splenda too. Yummy!  Beats a coke any day of the week if you ask me!   I just started lower carb again too
 and I absolutely love carbs.  I love thick crusty bread, chips, pretzels, etc.  A few years ago hubby and I did Atkins and we both lost 20+ pounds. I had gained some of it back, and then my dad died in October and I gained about 10 more pounds since then.  I stay up late and watch tv and eat.  Hubby wanted to go back on low carb and I was really resistant, but went ahead and started on Monday with him.  We're not doing strict Atkins induction this time.  Kind of in between South Beach and Atkins.  I've really watched my carbs this week, though, even though I know I've had more than 3 cups of leafy veggies each day.  Anyway, I love carbs, but I am already to the point where I'm not missing them.  Seriously, my son had a bunch of fries left over last night and offered them to me and I turned them down...and I love fries.  The other thing I've done is I've been drinking lots of diet green tea...trying out different brands.  I swear my appetite is very down, a combination of the diet and drinking the green tea maybe?  Since Monday, my weight is down 8 pounds, and I'm kind of in my "bloated phase" of the month, too.
