Strange thing is, that despite having a sweet tooth, I do not like sweet drinks. No sugar in my tea and I only like diet soft drinks.

Scott's plan sounds dang near fool proof! *thumbs*

:lol:

Glad that summer is over for you, Scott! :kiss: :wave:

I am a stress eater, myself... the second something starts bothering me, I'm at the fridge. I'm trying to correct this, though. If I feel myself getting anxious or upset or whatever, I find something to read, or I draw just to keep my hands and my mind busy. It's getting easier to do that. My problem is that I think I can eat like a teenager still, and while I know I'm still young, I'm a 28 year old who's been through 4 pregnancies. My body doesn't like me anymore. :lol: My first baby step is not eating after 7 at night. So far, so good!

The diet soda I am drinking.

I have returned home and am looking at the stats on the label of the Asda own brand soda I am drinking. The sodium level is listed as "Trace".

"Trace" seems low enough to be no problem. Can anyone expand on this?

I think "trace" means less than one, so they don't have to put down "one", if your system is similar to ours. Our sodium is listed in mg, my diet sierra mist has 35mg in it, which is 1% of the recommended daily value. (Yes, based on a 2000 calorie diet)

the gross taste! diet sodas have a strange aftertaste, and I don't much care for it. so I stick with water.

4 days coke free! and only one almost break down.

Most artificial sweetners have an aftertaste hence the diet sodas, etc. taste funny. Try using items with Splenda; its made from sugar (the carbon chain is scrambled so it has no effect on insulin levels) so there is no aftertaste. I've used in my apple pies and nobody could tell the difference. :D

They say we should have no more than 2Gm of sodium daily, less if possible. So trace amounts are negligible. Kinda like a "pinch". :lol:

I'm a stress eater, too. I've tried to modify my habits, but its hard. I've changed what I eat when I stressed. No more sandwiches (unless I'm really at the end of my rope). I've got a stock of low carb yogurt, ice creams and the like. If you see me eating cold pizza or spaghetti DO NOT even look at me. :lol:

I've started to crochet again...new afghans for everybody.
That and baby sets. (seems like everyone is having a baby nowadays. )

Little tip for those of you with low metobolism... Vitamin B12.

I lost 40 pounds in 3 months before I went to basic by taking that and running every other day.

I still take it to help maintain 205 (I was 240 at one time).

I swear by B12.

One of our suppliers sent us a BIG thing of Godiva chocolates today.

You should have seen us 4 ladies back there mowing through them. It was not a pretty sight. There are only a few left, and those would be gone too if one of my coworkers hadn't brought in cupcakes :slurp:


I think I need help. *slinks away*

Looks like they are just going to use the tag line :rolleyes: as Adkins Friendly :rolleyes:

my mom works for subways legal department at the hq...i used to work there too actually
anyways
yes, subway is totally trying to ride the craze... but notice, they have put warnings on their adkins friendly stuff, because many people are alergic to the ingredents in the bread that make it low carb
