Breakfast:
3 eggs, 3 strips of bacon, 8 oz glass of almond milk (don't always do the milk but I love having some kind of milk with my breakfast and regular milk has a little too many carbs for Atkins) I have this every day. Sometimes I throw mushrooms and/or peppers and make and omelet in to change it up.
Snack 1: Either string cheese, mild cheddar cheese, or almonds. Normally almonds now, I'm so sick of string cheese.. even though almonds are not supposed to be eaten in induction.
Lunch: 1 serving of protein (6-8 oz), a cup of salad with either some ranch dressing or some sort of low carb vinaigrette. If I'm not doing induction I'll do 2 cups of veggies and 2-3 strawberries or a couple of apple slices.
Snack 2: Same as snack 1. If not in induction, a few celery sticks or baby carrots go here.
Dinner: Same layout as lunch. I found a handy low-carb recipe website and use it a lot to cook with to change it up. Not all of it is induction-friendly though, so I stick to the piece of meat and salad regimen if I'm doing induction.
If I get hungry later at night I'll eat a few veggies.
Exercise: I try to walk 30 minutes per day. Don't make it every day as I'm a lazy arse and am doing my best to break this bad habit
My only complaint of Atkins is I want more fruit, dammit. I've always been a big fruit eater. (no homo)

I read the book 'why we get fat' and gave up all high glycemic foods like rice, bread, potatoes, pasta, any thing with sugar, beer, etc etc. I've dropped 45 lbs.
Boiled egg for breakfest, handful of pistahios for lunch, and meat with some veggies for supper (like beef stew), black beans with lots of pork, steak, hamburger, chicken, lamb, etc. Drink several glasses of red wine every night. No sweets except ginger snap cookies (3 max). Only drink water, milk, and black coffee other times. Never soda etc.

My diet is pretty much the same due to budgetary reasons and laziness.
I've learned from past diets that I get frustrated with constant cleaning of pots and pans so this time I tried to make a simple meal plan I could cook once a week and freeze part of it and rest in fridge.
Oh one other note, I am sodium restricted for my blood pressure so all the food tastes pretty damn bland.
Early on in the diet I ate eggs with a slice of cheese and 2 slices of bacon for breakfast. I did that for a very long time until it got to the point I wanted to throw up at just the thought of eggs.
My new breakfast is tuna with avocados and salad.
A hamburger patty with a salad has been in my diet every day. When I stopped having eggs I moved the cheese slice to the burger.
The other meal has alternated some. Crock pot chicken thighs with a salad. Red beans with sausage. Back when I started the diet, I would sometimes use rice with the beans but I gave that up long ago.
Sometimes I will also have just beans as a side dish with the chicken or burger but I like beans a lot, even my tasteless beans and I usually end up eating too many. I always start with 1/2 a cup a day and somehow it always ends up with 1 and 1/2 cups.
I only use, black pepper, cayenne and garlic powder to season and then I use about a teaspoon of sriracha at each meal to add the salty flavor.
Oh snacks. I've tried wasabi almonds but I can't stick to portion control. Same said for wasabi peas. I eat too many.
String cheese gives me a boost but I don't like it enough to cheat so I can easily stick to portion control with it.

well here's my "typical" day..dont hate or laugh. i'm being completely honest here. i wont eat this way once i'm at 175; the plan is to do this until i'm there then go with a more normal eating system.
- breakfast 4-5 cups of coffee & atkins breakfast bar (140 calories) that i eat with one of my coffees..usually at starbucks or after i'm in the office.
- lunch - coffee. 2, 3 or 4 cups throughout the day.
- dinner - ribeye, salad..sometimes i grill boneless/skinless chicken thighs (because they're good and they dont usually sell them with the skin) but the chicken tends to have more sodium and i'm typically bloated the next day. i never have that problem with red meat. i also will eat a spoonful or 2 of peanut butter (all natural..the kind without sugar where the oil separates) or some chocolat peanuts (sugar free) and usually a big-arse bowl of blueberries, blackberries, raspbeerries or strawberries with a shitton of heavy whipped cream on top.
- on the weekend i will mow through 4-5 oscar meyer 'no nitrates added' hotdogs doused with a heap of gambino's olive salad, celery salt and sour cream.
- i also will eat eggs on the weekend..i like them during the week but why add extra calories when i dont need to? i can eat more eggs later when i'm at my final weight.
- for snacks (which i try to avoid as much as possible) i keep on hand those kick-arse wasabi almonds, mixed nuts (all kinds of brands), boiled eggs, jerky and salt/vinegar pork rinds. that pretty much (together with all the berries i eat) knocks out both sweet & salty cravings.
when i'm racing, i will generally eat a ribeye the night before and 3-4 eggs with bacon early in the morning day or race.

I started January 3, 2011. About 4 1/2 months.
I can't eat the same thing every day, I would lose my mind. Also, not great at cooking, so I will usually skip a meal rather than cook. I eat most meals at my hospital's cafeteria( great veggie bar and salad bar!)
I always skip bfast, eating right after I get up gives me an upset stomach.
Lunch is usually grilled chicken/other meat and a small side of veggies.
Dinner is usually a large salad and a small piece of grilled chicken/ other meat.
Sometimes I swap it up and have salad for lunch :)
I have a cheat day every week or 2 where I eat what I want.
I don't drink as much water as I should, I am a diet dr pepper junkie and drink several 20 oz a day. Because of all the soduim and lack of water, I tend to hold onto water weight, so once a week I take 20 mg of lasix to dump the excess( Na and H2O)
Not getting into the Atkins/potato debate, but I hold myself to one carb serving a day ( don't count grams though) and avoid popcorn and other high glycemic index foods all the time. Also takinng B12 sublingiul, chromiom po, carmine po, and a B12/lipo shots bi-weekly and taking an adipex daily.
Making the first step was the hardest, I have stuggled at times, but it has been the easiest time I have ever had trying to lose weight. Biggest struggle? Giving up sweets! I have a huge sweet tooth!
Myth- Wow, you look AMAZING! Can't believe you guys are brave enough to put up B/A pics. I took before and halfway pic, but I don't think they will ever see the light of day on TD! Well, maybe if I get to 120 and I am rocking a bikini then I will lol

My diet varies a TON. I cannot eat the same thing repeatedly or I'll quit.
Breakfast - options include 1) oatmeal (packet or steel cut from crock pot) 2) egg beaters crustless quiche with tons of veggies 3) hard boiled egg and 4 egg whites 4) greek yogurt 5) microwaved liquid egg whites with canadian bacon and cheese 6) jimmy dean turkey sausage english muffin sandwich
Snack - fruit or cheese or edamame...
Lunch - leftovers (grilled chicken, gumbo, etc.) and 2 veggie sides. I often cook bulgur (super fast-cooking whole grain) to eat with the leftover protein.
Dinner - varies a ton.
I'm an expert at saving points for meals out - which happens anywhere from 1 to 4 times a week usually. I drink tons of water and 1-2 cups of coffee weekday mornings.
I also usually eat 1-6 points of "treats" daily - 40 cal fudgesicles, dove miniatures, mini rice krispy treats. Helps me from feeling deprived.
Anytime I'm wanting something bad/high in points - I try to remember the last time I ate it. It's never as long ago as I remembered. It has been fairly easy planning ahead and being able to enjoy the less healthy things I like on occassion.
So my answer is that I can't really give one

I do know that fast food hamburgers will never lure me to their evil dens again. I am so sick of hamburger meat.
I have definitely ruined hamburger meat and eggs. Although my disdain stems more from eating them with no salt.
Really does have me pissed off that 140 pounds lighter and under 1500 mgs of sodium per day for 9 months and my blood pressure is still higher than I would like it, even with meds.
Oh and with 3 months of riding the damn bike.
That does make me more than a tad grumpy.

Trouble is brewing. Got to hit lunch with my sister tomorrow at Phil's grill.
The good news is that I actually lost weight today even after the insanely awesome shrimp poboy from Parkway.
323/181.7/173
.5 from my low. Maybe that will give me the willpower to skip the bread and just eat the burger with a side salad.

I tend to lean towards the cad ribeye diet. I don't really like meat so ribeye is better than lesser cuts. I had one last night and one tonight. Lots of chicken with bell pepper,onions and cheese too. Or plain hamburger patties. Always with a side of veggies. That is dinner. Lunch is salad with protein or stir fry veggies. Breakfast is eggs with Bacon or Ham and cheese most days. Snacks are cheese and nuts mostly. Lots of water and herbal tea. I may have 1 diet coke a month and 1 unsweetened regular tea a week. My biggest downfall or cheat is fruit. I miss my fruits but if I eat too much my blood sugar goes way too high. Same for regular or sweet potatoes, they cause blood sugar issues for me. No rice bread or pasta either due to blood sugar spikes they cause. Regardless of the board debate on no carbs for weightloss I can't eat them because I treat my diabetes with diet not medication and they are not blood sugar friendly.

here's what i've learned:
1. i'm busy during the day at work.
2. i work 5 days a week
3. i used to eat out EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. chinese buffets, indian buffets, greek, etc etc.
4. i was just as hungry when i got home regardless of whether i had 4 plates of chinese food or skipped lunch altogether.
THEREFORE:
- i stay under 300-400 calories during the day and when i get home, i can pretty much eat whatever the heck i want.
this works extremely well. no my metabolism doesn't go into 'shock' and stop working. no i dont 'overeat' because i basically skip breakfast and lunch. no i'm not going to fall over and die because i've gotten used to only eating one real meal a day.
think about it. its all upside; your stomach will be smaller if you don't have anything in it and as a result, you won't eat as much when you get home.
since i spend 5 out of 7 days a week working, why not maximize that time to keep away from the food? its very easy for me because i'm pretty busy during the day to avoid food altogether.
anyway..just saying what works for me. i personally like being able to go home and look forward to eating WHATEVER i want and not worry about not being in a calorie deficiet for the day.

My mom's co-worker does something similar (although purely to stay skinny - she's never had a weight issue).
According to my mom, this lady eats cottage cheese for breakfast, an apple (core and all) for lunch, and then whatever for dinner. If it works for her and you, fine by me.
