ive lost 25 lbs!!

[chris146]

today the 15th marks 1 month of doing atkins. i have lost 25 lbs. i havent had a softdrink in over a month. only water, that is a big suprise to me. i LOVE sprite. i havent even had a diet drink or splenda sweetened beverage. i run about 2 miles right when i get out of bed on the treadmill to get my metab going. i know im not doing the diet exactly by the book, but the weight is still going. im probably eating about 20-25 carbs a day.

the thing that has saved me is low carb lasagna. cabbage instead of noodles.

its amazing. i'll post pictures soon

Hi Chris and welcome to the forum!

I've heard of making lasagne with cabbage but have never tried it. I've made it using eggplant and also making it the same just without noodles. Way to go! You're doing great!

Congratulations, Chris, that's fantastic!!

Cabbage instead of noodles is good. You can also make what I call pizza doing the same thing. I use bacon, turkey pepperoni, cabbage, salsa "count carb by label", and cheese sprinkled Parmesan cheese. I use browned ground beef or ground turkey for the base. It is really good to satisfy the craving for pizza we think.

LOL... this often happens when someone is reading old posts or does a search for something. Chris DID post that message in 2005. The first two responses were also posted in '05. But that's ok... it's all good information to share!

Good Tril, I was going to chime in, but LOL I figured we can learn from the old posts, too!
