Atkins Diet: Low Carb Emergency Kit
Additional contact methods: Twitter: bowulf Blog: www.network-admin.net IM or Skype Contact Me First How to Atkins Diet TV: www.ustream.tv In this video, I deal with the issue of planning and how to resist temptation with a tool that should be in every low carbers possession, especially new ones. That is a low carb emergency kit. This kit should help resist temptation by reminding you why you want to lose the weight and take care of any hunger pains. What’s in it: (Food) * Beef Sticks — no …
I am fortunate to still have Diet Coke with Splenda around here whenever I need that soda or caffeine fix, but I agree about aspartame and messing with your blood chemistry.
7-11 use to sell a soda that had Splenda in it. They had like cherry flavor and lime flavor I forget what it was called. Then they discontinued it.
Diet soda is worse the reg soda. I’m glad you gave that up
When I was actively losing I stopped drinking soda with the exception of about 1 can every other month at a restaurant. I had a huge Diet Dew habit and had to give it all up. Since then once I hit goal, I added it back into my diet to the tune of 3 a day.
i really enjoy watching your videos..i find them very inspiring and don’t feel like im going through this alone,i do have a question though,did u drink many diet drinks like coke zero and diet coke during ure diet?
If it actually says “American cheese” and not “cheese food.” You will be surprised which name brands are NOT real cheese but some processed item. Real american cheese is just a mix of cheddar and other cheeses.
So is american cheese the same as cow cheese.. if not is american cheese accepted?
Calories.
For me it always came down to deference — eating something right instead or doing something else to ignore the cravings or making the choice on did I want to stay at the weight I am at or lose the weight. Did I value what goal was (joining the military, running a marathon, not having to depend on a machine to breathe at night) or the temporary satisfaction of the carby food.
The emergency kit is only good IF you can somehow resist those carby offerings. So far, I have never won the battle. I am great for a day or two, then I finally snap and eat highcarb. I am stuck in this cycle for 5 years.
When you say 65% fat, b30% protein, 5% carbs, so you mean in weight or in calories?
I keep those metal tear – open packets of tuna or salmon, 3 oz for about a dollar, and some plastic forks. Also I keep Light and Fit low carb yogurt and egg white protein powder. Unopened yogurt keeps at room temp for weeks, I’ve done it . I stir the protein in right before I eat it. It is really good and you can have lots of flavors.
As for the active cultures actually eating the carbs in the yogurt, I have read conflicting things. Some promote it, and some say the cultures are damaged or dead and don’t eat as much as you would think. The truth is somewhere in between, but for safety I count the listed net carbs and make my diet choices from there.
In most of the non-sugar yogurt are around 10-14g per serving. There is a carb blaster brand from Kroger that is only 3g, but unfortunately I can only get it when on vacation. In either case they aren’t Induction foods. You can however add them after the first 14 days, and evaluate how you afterwords.
The first week of OWL you could eat half a package one day. Wait a day, finish the first one, check for weight loss that week. By week 3 you could eat the package.
Hey there Kent. I enjoy how knowledgeable you are. Anyways, I’m on induction and would like to eat yogurt occasionally. How many net carbs are in plain non-sugar added yogurt? Also I read in some forums about people mentioning that the bacteria in yogurt cancels out some of the carbs you ingest. Any truth to that? Thanks
People that down Atkins have never read the book and just go by what all the “cool kids” say. If you actually read the WHOLE book you realize that you only restrict carbs for the first 2 weeks, then you begin to add them in weekly. By the time you reach your goal weight and want to maintain it, you are eating a BALANCED daily diet, full of all the foods your body needs.
Thanks, you have some great tips!
Wow aren’t you a prissy thing…
Ohh shut up.. how did i get here..
Again watch my misconception series, and you will see the studies that prove Low Carb and Atkins in specific is as healthy diet as come.
Exactly how many refined sugars and starches does one need to be healthy? Is there a diet necessity for donuts, white bread, fried breaded Chinese foods, and pizza crusts? That is ultimately what Atkins is eliminating or targeting in one’s diet.
Watch my latest video please. There is NO WAY to go into a diabetic coma if you are not already type 1 or 2 diabetic. Many recent studies and docs also point out the cardiovascular benefits of the high fat ketogenic diets due to HDL & LDL cholesterol and triglycerides improvements.
Pshinspections and my blood tests have been great. Surely after 5 years at least one blood test would be negative. My cholesterol level are:
153 -Total
57 -HDL
98 -LDL
43 -Trig
Exactly which ones need improvement.
with the atkins diet you can get a diabetes coma and this could be very dangerous because all functions of your organs will stop for example heart. Many experts say this too because you only eat (fat)rich food. Your blood test are bad because your blood acidise and you have got a bad blood cholesterol level. the blood acidose and the bad blood cholesterol level create dangerous heart disease or kidney failrure which can be deadly. when you dont get health problems you dont make the diet correct
I have no health problems +5 years that I didn’t have before Atkins. I have lost the pre-diabetes condition. My blood tests have improved markedly and my organ function has improved. So, what health problems do you suggest that I be looking for?
And you would know this how? By your own experience? I seriously doubt it.
Yeah that is good, or sugar free pudding + whip cream. Or if you need a meal, some protein pudding (chocolate protein powder +sugar free pudding) topped with whip cream.
Heavy cold whipping cream cream with berries.
This diet doesn’t suck like some people think!
