First day of Atkins

So today is my first day.

I've been off for a week and stuffed myself on lunches and dinner! I sadly put on some weight :-(

I'm back to work tonight and not feeling very confident either, been really tired and stressed about this. Not the ideal day to start a new eating regime is it!

Research

I've been researching what I can and can't eat on the Atkins. Obviously some of the stuff I CAN'T eat due to the lactose intolerance! There seems to be quite a lot actually. Looking back through my old food diaries and seeing how easy it is to eat just the 20g of Carbs a day (on the Induction). Cutting out all the junk and high carb crap I eat just now will not be easy, but I've done it before and know I'll be able to do it again! I'm actually looking forward to the hassle-free periods which I eluded to in an earlier post about the 5:2 diet.

I ate cod for the first time in years, yesterday. It was really nice and I enjoyed it. I've been trying to tell myself to love fish! Been using simple NLP techniques as fish was a big fear of mine before! So the cod is a good step. Hubby plans on cooking some salmon for dinner in the next few days. I do remembering liking salmon before.

It will be interesting to see how I manage the Atkins with the intolerance! I'm hoping to lose at least 4-5 stone, that sounds so much but hey.

Oh dear

Yikes it's been like almost a month since my last post!

Been so tired with working nights - boo!

I've also given up the fasting and decided I need a more radical weight loss plan and have decided to try the Atkins again. I'll be starting it in a few week times so will hopefully be posting all about that. I've been looking into it the last few days. Thank goodness for low carb veggie food, fish and zero carb cheese! Roll on the salads as well. No no I don't mean I'll be having rolls on salad doh!

So let's see how my weight loss journey goes and see how I cope with being lactose intolerant too!
