Day Two on Low Carb

[kybearfuzz]

I haven't gotten any real cravings as yet. I guess the frustrating part is just figuring out what to eat. The food itself is pretty good, but to stare at the menu and count carbs in your head can be annoying. Figuring out three meals with only a 30 carb limit is rough.

Breakfast was a bacon sandwich on low carb bread, lunch was a grilled chicken caesar salad (yum!), and dinner was two cube steaks with cheese, low carb Cool Ranch Doritos, and two dill pickle spears. All and all, everything was really tasty. I think I can handle this.

I'm a little tired, been a rough day and I'm a bit brain fried from work. Heading to bed early, I think.

sorry I dont get to read LJ much so please forgive me if I am asking a question you probabaly already have answered in a LJ at some point. The reason I ask is that my doctor just advised me that he wants me to try a low carb diet. he said he didnt really care which one, Atkins or South Beach. I am currently reading the South Beach one. It actually sounds do able. I am nercous as crap though... Nice to read that its not to hard to do.. Glad it seems to be working for you

I have been reading a book called "Protein Power" by Dr. Michael Eades and following that plan. It's basically the same as the Adkins diet, as I think all the low carb ones are. It's the plan my boss is following and he's lost over 50 lbs on it.

I was nervous too, and I still am. Just taking it one day at a time. Good luck on yours!

No problem. I will tell you that I carbo loaded the weekend before starting this -- fries, beer, milkshakes, chicken wings, etc. May as well end it with a bang, so I think your idea of waiting until the holiday is over is a good one.
