Weight Loss Forum / Low Carb / January 2004New to the Low carb solution
I am 40 and my wife and I started the South beach Diet together on Monday. It has been hard but I already feel results. I have allot of weight to lose and think this time I might just be able to keep it off. I have lost weight before but only through starvation diets.. and every time I ended up bigger than when I started. I think I can handle this one. I am already getting to where I am not as hungry. I work service so it is hard to remember the snacks. Oh yea I have lost 8 lbs since Monday:) Thanks Don > I am 40 and my wife and I started the South beach Diet together on Monday. > It has been hard but I already feel results.

I am not south beach diet expert, but I know that eating Atkins induction I would bring to work as snacks: -Tuna -Beef Jerky -Turkey Jerky -Cheese -Pork Rinds. -Cottage Cheese Make sure to avoid fake foods, like fake cookies labeled low carb, fake low carb labeled candy etc. Eat real stuff, meat, fish vegetables etc. Candy and junk food made you fat, remember. i > I am 40 and my wife and I started the South beach Diet together on Monday. > It has been hard but I already feel results.

Usually meat & cheese rolls or today at the grocery I found Carl Budding "snack packs" they are processed meat but only half a carb per serving so I'm going to give them a try -- made sure not to get the "honey" ones. Sounds like you are on a roll -- my hubby and I weigh in tomorrow so we'll see how its going for us :~)  Signature~K Low carbing with Hubby 01/05/04 The scales: ~K 265/148/130 (had WLS 03/05/02) ~J 238/238/200 My website: http://www.geocities.com/lilmskitty@sbcglobal.net/index.htm > I am 40 and my wife and I started the South beach Diet together on Monday. > It has been hard but I already feel results.

I hide nuts, beef jerky or emergency lo-carb snack bars in my cubicle. I *have* to hide them, because otherwise people devour my home-made jerky the same day I bring it in! :-) Regards, Len. > I am 40 and my wife and I started the South beach Diet together on Monday. > It has been hard but I already feel results.

SignatureSaffire 205/176/125 Atkins since 6/14/03 Progress photo: http://photos.yahoo.com/saffire333 Great job so far. Fellow SB'er here. The cravings sorta faded for me, didn't magically disappear. If you are hungry, eat, eat, eat. Just eat what's in phase 1. Biggest mistake is to let yourself get hungry. Previous post listed great snack foods. I would add that I have also enjoyed limited nuts and hard boiled eggs.

The only thing to remember is that this is a lifestyle change, not just a "diet". I've almost reached my target weight twice, and each time returned to my old ways (including my favorite comfort food: McDonald's) and gained it all back with interest. As you've already seen, _every_ diet works that way: if you stop doing it, you start gaining again. The trick is to adopt strategies that help you stick with it for life. > I think I can handle this one. I am already getting to where I am not as > hungry. That's important. The risk of cheating is highest if you're out of the house and hungry. Those drive throughs... > I work service so it is hard to remember the snacks.
