If you want milk and hate soy, then keep reading. I posted this at lowcarbsweb.com

Went to Wal-Mart today and they have a carb control milk called Carb Countdown. It has an Atkin's Seal of Approval on it.

3 grams net carbs.


....tried it and it tastes great. I was quite surprised. It was by the regular milk. I saw fat free, chocolate, and 2 other varieties.

Food just taste funny when you're eating no carbs. I tried eating sausage and eggs and it tasted bland and left me quite hungry. I still would love to get on this and keep it up and lose some pounds.

Marking my 1st week on Atkins today, I am down 7.5 lbs from 242.5 to 235. I did bike 70 miles that week to and from work, but still, that is pretty damn good.

I've lost about 25 pounds in 8-9 weeks i can't remember tho. Lately i've been bad tho and been eating some carbs. Less then 100 a day but still over my limit. I also have been drinking diet soda. caffine and nutrasweet = no no but i don't care as much.

Im gonna try and contine back on totally. I don't sweat as much as I used to with easy task. I've lost 4 inches off my waist which is amazing.

I did some calculations using one of the scales that tell you how much body fat you are and I have lost some lean muscle but definitly not as much as my fat.
Good luck.

Im trying for a total of 100 lbs lost be for my wedding on August 8th 2004.

You need to check your carbs...I was eating 3000 calories a day on Atkins and lost weight...but you HAVE to have as close to zero carbs as you can those first two weeks. Even though the limit is 20 you really want 15 or even 10...it does make a difference. And even eating one thing with hidden carbs could push you over that limit.

Also eat some high fiber foods...they help you feel full longer.

VERY DIFFICULT.

You need to UP your fiber intake using psyllum husks or flax seed, or something of the like. You can't use sugar free fiber products because they contain aspartame. However, you can eat a lot of nuts, seeds and peanut butter for your protein/fat consumption, but let me recommend the peanut butter diet if you want to lose weight as a vegetarian. WTH is wrong with you anyways? All the vegetarians I know are on their death beds because they don't eat right.
