General Questions / Atkins & I Ate 2 Cupcakes
« on: April 29, 2013, 07:36:21 PM »
I bought the FTS book several months ago.  I loaned it to a friend who has not returned it.  (She said she can't find it).  At that time, I wasn't in the right frame of mind to stick to any diet.

 Now I am ready. With no book.

So, when I saw the Atkins ad that was giving away their Atkins Bars, and the free book to get you started, I ordered it because it was free. It came with a set of pre-planned menus which included the Atkins bars and Atkins Frozen Dinner everyday.  So, I started it 3 weeks ago.  I lost 5 pounds.  Then I gained 2.  Now I'm losing ZERO.  So today I ate 2 cupcakes because i was sad.  Now I feel bad.  I have decided that the Atkins diet is all about bars, shakes and frozen dinners so as of right now I'm done with Atkins!  Those bars and shakes have stuff in them that makes you eat cupcakes!!

So the problem is:  I don't have the FTS book and I can't remember what I'm supposed to eat.  I have to wait until next payday to buy another book.  Can someone get me started as to what to eat for 2 weeks til next payday?

I need to lose 50 pounds.  I am ready mentally (the 2 cupcakes didn't make me want to quit, thankfully)

Thank you in advance for any help!!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Doug's book, so I started low carb today.  The problem is, I haven't eaten splenda and stevia in the past.  I had them both today and now I have red patches of rash on my chest, and feel itchy.  I think it must be a reaction to either the splenda ore the stevia.  Or maybe it's because I combined them both in the same day?  Has anyone experienced this?  I am drinkng tons of water to try to get it out of my system.

Thanks in advance for any comments.
