Just a couple things.. keep the cottage cheese to 1/2 cup per day and if you
get hungry between meals you may need to up the fat a bit...

Slatman,
that's what I plan on doing too! I need to get off of that AS, hopefully that will get me losing.
Yeah it's amazing at how fast you lose. The water does help as well. That carb fest do sound good!!!




I'm going to be in a dilema this weekend. It's my nephews birthday and he has requested from grandma red chile for his b-day. And my moms red chile is awesome!!! Along with the spanish rice and refried beans!
That is one of my favorite meals!!!

I don't know if I should eat some or pass it by!! It's gonna be hard to pass on that!

[Determinedtolose]

LOL!!! Get of that AS!!!
Sounds funny!!!

[slatman]

Yep, I'm done with as it's like crack...

I don't know what to tell you with the meal that's a bit much even for a refeed.. what's red chile? just red chile?

[slatman]

Get off that as and exercise... lol

You live in Tucson and haven't had red chile?? Slatman! What's up with that!! LOL
It's a spicy red sauce with beef.
I may not eat it, but it's gonna be hard not too!!

[LaRae]

Hi, Amy! I started Stillman's on Monday, and I joined this thread today, too!

I know that Stillman's will work for you. I am so glad that I switched from Atkins. I love eating on the Atkins' WOE, but I hadn't lost for over four months no matter what I did.

I am making progress on Stillman's. Thank goodness!

You will see great results!

If I cycle back to Atkins, it will definitely be modified. I won't go back to the full-fat, etc. I will just add veggies or maybe allow myself one wrap; not quite sure yet. Right now I am content to stick with Stillman's, but I hope I can stay on for the weekend. The revolution rolls help me a lot.

I was never able to get into ketosis on Atkins ( for almost a year of Atkins!) except for just a faint tinge of color. So far, on Stillman's, I haven't gotten into ketosis, but I don't feel that hungry unless it is "righteous hunger" like yesterday when I wasn't able to eat until after 1pm.

Magic, Diana's birthday is in December, also. Wouldn't it be funny if you had birthdays on the same day?

I forgot to congratulate those of you who have lost lbs., and those of you who are staying on plan!

I know, it's so hard but, I think I'll have to eat some fat on that day, so I don't get the urge! I'll be okay!!

Debi, I love the farmer's cheese. It is a semi-soft, skim milk cheese.

I can't taste the cottage cheese in the rev. rolls, but you already said that you tried them. What if you made them savory, would they taste better to you?

[magickal1]

well Im still using the lil girls room like every 10 min now , I must be getting ready to take a drop im keepin my fingers crossed Im eating some tiolapia omg i love fish way to much .......I never tire from it ......

Larae that would be funny - my b day is dec 26 , Im so glad ur losing tho was a long haul for u ....

Diana - definatly good idea to up the fat that day!!!!!!

ok i been eating eating fish , but i have this lil sauce i make that I loveeeeeeeeeeee its real mayo and thomas red hot mixed together all i have to say is i know im not supposed to have the mayo while im on stillmans , but its so good on the fish it really is, so i decided i was making a lil for my fish tonight , and i highly suggest trying it on when u cycle into atkins or when u need to add some fats so yummmy.....


Im wondering about that ice cream cake yummmmmmmmmmmm!!!

[LaRae]

Do all of you eat as much lean meat and eggs as you want?
