Low Carbers question?

[Evolving 973]

Hello!! Those that do low carb--my thoughts....under 25 carbs a day---- do u use yogurt, cottage cheese, ricotta, etc......

Reason I ask-- is I tend to lose more when I do lower carb-- like when I used to do Atkins-- it was Protein only and cheese and a lil bit of veggies---- so.... I don't know if I should keep using the yogurts and cheeses etc??

What do I lower carbers do???

Thank you

You can do yogurt and cheeses as long as you count the carbs.

PS--Greek yogurt has fewer carbs--get the unflavored and add SF syrups if you want. The fruit flavors won't work--too high carb.

Jut an fyi: Fred Meyers has it's own store brand (owned by Kroger, so I'm sure Krogers also has them) has a pretty tasty low carb yogurt. Only 4 gms per container. In Feb, I gave Atkins a real try. Would've killed my mom for a cookie. My husband has no problem going off carbs but I' very cranky. Didn't cheat for 4 weeks. Didn't add yogurt or sour cream till the 3rd week however. They were too many carbs for my <20 gm allotment. 4 weeks later, I had lost 14 lbs. A month later, I've gained back 12 after resuming carbs.

Thats why I hate diets.

I am currently doing the Atkins induction phase thing, trying to break a stall. Last weekend I made a crustless quiche that I could eat during the week. I have been having spinach salads with grilled chicken, tuna salad, and eggs for Breakfast. On the days when I need a really quick Breakfast or lunch, I bought some of the Atkins meal bars, which are actually really tasty. For Snacks, cheese sticks or cucumber slices with ranch. So far it has been fine, having the sleeve on my side helps me stick with it. I'm not weighing until next week, so we will see how it goes!

With my sleeve, im doing low carb whether I like it or not. By the time I get my Protein in, not much room left for anything else.
