Until my vacation in Aruba...

I'm going in full mode pannic because I'd like to get off fat before this trip. UGH what's one to do.

I'd like to try and follow Atkins fully, but I just bought alot of Yogurt to eat for a snack at work before heading to curves. Everything else I have is ok... So how bad is Yogurt on Atkins?? The one I bought has 90 cal, 0 fat, 16 G carbs, and 12 G Sugar. (OK the carbs are high, but that was what I as able to afford)

I also drink the ACV drink 3x a day, as well as my own homemade salad dressing made with the ACV.

Presently my diet goes like this...

Breakfast:
2 egg whites
1 6 net carb low carb bagel OR 1 sl of a 6 net carb low carb bread (Sometimes I don't even have the bread)
Butter or cream cheese
1 cup decaf coffee
The ACV drink

Lunch:
1 bowl of salad, usually topped with either Tuna Salad, Egg White Salad (I use Grape Seed oil Mayo in place of regular Mayo), or my ACV dressing. If I don't add the tuna or egg I have 1/2 cup of Beans.

Snack: (usually an hour before I leave work)
1 Yougart, or 1 oz cheese, or Cantelope

Dinner:
It varies depending on my mood. I might eat Atlantic Salmon, Flounder, A Boca Burger, Vegi Soup...

My weekends are bad because I go by my Boyfriends and well I eat what I get there..LOL..

I would cut out the yogurt for quicker weight loss. The fastest way I ever lost weight was on Atkins. I lost about 5 pounds in a week. I had eggs for breakfast, lunch meat, cheese and pickle for lunch, and chicken and salad for dinner. Tons of water. Not the way I eat now..it was just a quick fix for an occasion. Exercise as well.

The calories look pretty (too) low there. That combined with a lack of carbs are likely to make for a vengeful return of weight when you go on vacation and start eating like most people eat on vacation.

Yogurt's not very Atkins friendly.

Set calories at 10 x bodyweight. Avoid all dairy. Eat meat, eggs, butter, oils, and green veggies. Supplement with brazil nuts or almonds. Do cardio every day for 45 minutes (preferably in the morning) and you will easily lose 10-20 pounds. Additionally you should be drinking 1/2 ounce of water for every pound of body weight.

well, yogurt might not fit with atkins... but if you decide to forgo atkins, stick with the yogurt. studies are showing that calcium aids weight loss.
