Still hoping for any other Atkins Attempters out there ... but for now I thought I'd let ya'all know what I *do* currently eat.
B-fast: 1/2 serving non-fat or low-fat, sugar-free yogurt and 3-4 prunes. Lunch: Nothing... I nibble all day at the following snack... Snack: 1/2 serving (or less) dry Grape Nuts cereal. Dinner: Veggies (broccoli, green beans or asparagus) with, A) Low-fat, skinless chicken breast with 1/2 cup rice, B) 1.5 small corn tamales (no meat fat and low fat cheese), or C) Medium fish fillet with low-sodium seasoning, and a little rice. We don't use salt and pepper (don't even own shakers -- we just looked at each other like "Duh?" the first time we had guests over and one requested S&P! [was kinda funny!]) Veggies and rice (or corn masa) make up most of my calories -- plus a few from the cereal and prunes. I very rarely snack on anything other than my daily cereal snack -- which is just given to me each morning in a cup that I carry on my chair with me all day. So, given that, I kinda doubt I'm over-eating. And if I started eating any less than that I'd proably be very much under-eating (if I'm not already). THIS is why I'm looking at an alternate diet. Any thoughts?
