Lets say I eat 14 meals to 18 meals a week! I can eat every one of them as meat and eggs and be totally satisfied. I couldn't always do this, the first few months I needed more vegetables and then my wild rice. I ate lots of all of these and drank only water and I totally succeeded is losing over 50# and breaking my carbohydrate and sugar addiction! I have now added salads and my blue cheese dressing and I am enjoying them a lot but the 'foundation' to my dieting is still my meat and eggs twice a day and I never eat anything else except these meals and I never snack.
It's become a part of me the 'not eating anything else'. Something I thought would never happen! The thing is I am enjoying my new lifestyle immensely. This is it for me for the rest of my life. I have been in a stall for several months now but I'm not going to fight it. Maybe this winter I will tighten things up a little but the way I'm looking at it, I can't see where I can go wrong doing what I'm doing!
No fruit no juice no grains no corn no breads no milk no starches no nuts no lentils, nothing but the salads and the dressing and the meat and eggs and a few low glycemic vegetables and occasionally some wild rice(as often and as much as my system calls for) and water only to drink!
This has got to be a milestone! It deffinitly is for me! I can't go wrong! I don't even have an inkling for anything else!
This from a former total carbohydrate and sugar addict for over 60 years!
The thing is I am totally filled and completely satisfied all of the time, or I am healthfully hungry and getting ready to eat!

Joe Cocker, my alter ego! Were the same age. Him and me and Bob Seger and a bunch of other ones!

I just scored eleven three pound packages of bacon ends and pieces for $3.99 each, regularily $6.19 So I brought them home and just now cut them up in four 1 lb packages and put them in the freezer for $44 that's 44 packages for $1 each. Plus 6 cents each for the double zip locks. One happy camper here! Three Jumbo eggs for 40 cents makes for $1.50 for each meal. Two meals a day for $3.00
I get ground sausage on sale at the same store for $1.19 a pound and it's really good sausage. I buy mine plain without seasoning and then add my own most of the time. Sometimes I just go ahead and buy the seasoned. So the same price for the same meal. I also boil these with fresh green beans or cabbage quite often.
I eat for $3 a day all the time and for $6 'I can eat one meal a day' with about a 20 oz steak for $2.49 a pound and the 'second meal' with bacon or sausage all for about $6. I love it!
I oven bake a lot of this stuff with vegetables and I boil a lot too.
If I was rich I would just be 'eating a little higher on the hog'!

Revised: and
I just polished off a pound of bacon and three jumbo eggs with a tossed green salad on the side with real blue cheese dressing!
I think for supper I will have pan fried steak and eggs and salad!
Do I love Atkins and low carb!

Hey Tom. Hmmmmm......you could be in A LOT worse company than Joe Cocker & Bob Seger!!! They are two of my faves, along with Don Henley of course. The heart of the matter is I love to snap any one of them up "in a New York Minute." Iif I wasn't happily married, of course) Hahahaha. Love your food choices. If you read my bio in "People behind the posts" thread you may realize that a redneck rodeo girl like me loves bacon, steak & eggs. Yeehaaaaa! Pat

Yes I can live on them easily and never get bored or tired of them. It makes dieting pretty easy for me once I discovered low carb. My low carb vegetables work great with these meats and when I want something different so I just boil my meat or oven bake it with the vegetables and sometimes wild rice. Oven baking is so good I can't describe it! Boiled can be pretty good. When I think of people having to eat these small portions of insignificant foods I am really happy with where I am at and what I am doing! The low low carbohydrates is what makes mine fly. Just like Atkins said!

Count me in on the meat and eggs! There's too many different ways to fix both meat and eggs. I don't bore of either one. I just came home for lunch today and fixed me a poached egg with a flax muffin. Poached is good!
Even when I was an extreme-carber, I always said to my wife, "I gotta' have some meat with my meals or I'm hungry again in a little while." I had not a clue about the benefits of protein and fat...I just knew I liked meat and needed it to keep from getting hungry so quickly. Now I know the theory behind it.
Low Carb rules!!! Woo Hoo!!!

Well, I have to fess up - I had an avocado & prawn salad c/w mayo for lunch today and it was pretty darn good. Variety really is the spice of life and we get lots of it living LC.

Yes that is one of the beauties! I love prawns. Sauteed in olive oil or butter for a couple of minutes and then dipped in tarter sauce or just dipped in butter. I like them by the pound, that's another thing good about low carb, we can do that!
