[Guest Leslie2Lose]

I'm on my "SUGAR-BUSTERS" Diet - A.K.A. Low Carbs...man its killing me. I've been on it for all of 5 days and hubby is getting pizza tonight. I've done good for the most part. I am not a "sweet" person...I love Pasta, potatoes, pizza (well anything italian) and chips, popcorn...I'm sure you get the point. I'm being good and having Soup and a whole wheat low fat cheese sandwich. I know those naughty carbs made me have a strong resemblence to Moby Dick's whale, but heavens do I love them...praying for salvation, commitment, and no taste buds for the next two weeks :-)

I work out of the home and it seems that most everything I eat is truly homemade. All our meat is purchased from our neighbors, homemade canned goods etc. So, I will list what I eat but I can tell you that I am not going to go to the bother of looking up the nutrients. Is that OK with everyone? I don't have a can or a package. I do weigh everything I eat on my Salter food scale, type in my food but I don't bother to write down only but the calories. Lazy, huh?

Today:

B: 2 eggs, scrambled

L: Beanless chile made with V-8 juice and lean ground beef

S: 1 oz beef jerkey

D: 3 oz turkey with salsa

Here's what I had yesterday, not sure about today yet

B'fast- low carb slim fast

Lunch- 3 slices deli turkey, 2 wedges light laughing cow cheese, 1 tsp pesto (made rollups)

Snack- Atkins fudge brownie bar

Dinner- Japanese mushroom Soup, Habachi chicken (only ate the chicken), steamed veggies

You guys have me worried now about the Atkins bars. They have 15 grams of carbs, but it says net carbs 3 grams. Do you really think that net carbs doesn't make a difference?

It says on the box " This count, based on the most advanced clinical testing of gylycemic impact, shows that 3 grams of cars in this product impact blood sugar. On the front of the box it says " 3 grams Atkins count"

Maybe it is these Atkins bars that are causing me to plateau.

I went and bought some and I love them. I bought the fudge brownie ones and they have really helped me with my sweet tooth. They really fill me up too, I don't know why because sweets usually go down easy and then I get hungry shortly after, but these keep me satisfied for a good while. I don't really know the answer to your question, but I'm gonna try them for a while. If I see I'm not losing, I guess I'll have to find something else to calm my outrageous sweet tooth.

Oh, I forgot to post what I had today. I wasn't really hungry today, not sure why.

B'fast- low carb slim fast

Lunch- low carb slim fast

Snack- Atkins fudge brownie bar

Dinner- 1 Bocca burger patty, 1 wedge laughing cow cheese, 2 tbsp spinach dip

They make a great snack and at least there is Protein in them, which is better than candy. They help with my sweet tooth too. I love them.

I think the nougat ones taste like a snickers.

[georgia girl 35]

I bought the coconut ones too! I haven't tried them yet, but they look like they would taste like mounds bars (which I love). I'll let you know how I like it. I'm taking them on vacation with me. We're going to the beach for a whole week and we're leaving on Monday and we won't be back until Sunday. I probably won't be posting much at all (unless I use my hubby's i-phone, hehe). I don't know what I'll do without my lapband fix, lol.
