Missy - what are your go-to Snacks? I haven't read thru it all yet but I don't see separate portions for snack vs lunch / dinner. Thx.

I don't find myself needing Snacks, to be honest. When I do, on low carb days, I eat a spoonful of Peanut Butter or a piece of Babybel cheese.

I tried Almond milk this morning with my shake and I actually enjoyed it more than the Simply Smart. My only complaint is the difference in Protein. You get less with the Almond. I guess I can compensate somewhere else for that. Going to give this a shot. Almost done with the book.

Wow you're doing so awesome Missy!! I've been away from the site a lot as of late but I think of all my friends here and I missed you all. You give me so much hope and inspiration. I've been tending to my parents. My Father is back in the hospital and my Mother doesn't move around very well. My father finished Chemo and Radiation 3 weeks ago and is deemed Cancer free once again but now because of those treatments his immune system is in the toilet. He spent past week in the hospital along with a few of those days in ICU with pneumonia but he was moved back to a regular room yesterday and the Doctors believe he has turned the corner and is on the road to recovery. Yay!!! I just need that stinking Cancer to leave him alone for good.

LOL I'm always excited for high carb days. I don't much like the low carb ones.

...however I just had crab wrapped in a slice of cheese for lunch. It was good!!

I just came back from grocery shopping and purchased some extra things I am going to need for low carb days, I got a head of lettuce and will make tuna or chicken breast roll ups. I got a package of crab meat, extra cream cheese, laughing cow cheese wedges, 2 dozen of eggs (gonna be eating a lot of egg whites), lol. tuna fish, thin sliced ham and chicken breast.

I can tell you one thing my stomache is making some pretty LOUD noises, hahaaaaa. I am trying hard to stay away from the scale I don't want to ge discouraged if it didn't move and I want to make certain I did the full week, ya know?

After doing the Atkins induction period for a year and half this should be a cake walk. No pun intended.

Yeah it's TONS easier than Atkins, mostly because every other day you get a carb free for all so you don't feel deprived.

[Jim1967 3,569]

Well even now after all these years I still have that Atkins mentality. I freak out when I see myfitnesspal logging me at 75g of carb on a given day. For so long I limited myself to 20g for the entire day!!

[Lapbandster 496]

I'm on day #2 and so far I have been trying to follow it as best as possible!

So far I have had 38g of carbs and don't want to eat any more for the rest of the day.

Any ideas of some ultra low/no carb dinners?
