Atkinsite Humor

[Ricochet]

Over the past 3 weeks I've managed to lose about 10 pounds. I've got a good way to go, but it's a start. What I'm getting down with is Dr. Atkins' diet.

This evening I pulled into a local Burger King and ordered a bunless Whopper with cheese. It was apparently the first time the girl on the mic had gotten such an order. She was silent for a few seconds and said, "A double Whopper with cheese?" "No, a bunless Whopper with cheese." More silence. "A Whopper with cheese with no bun?" "That's right."

Then I asked her, "Could I have some potatoless French fries with that bunless Whopper?" That was followed by a much longer period of silence. So I said, "Just dip me up a cup of hot grease and put some salt in it." Silence again, but now I could hear some background giggling. Finally I had to tell her I was joking about the potatoless fries. They forgot the vegetables on the Whopper, but I reckon I'll make it till next time.


;D

Hey Ricochet I got on the same diet the day after Turkey Day 2003.I kept my carbs. below 5 grams the first two weeks,then raised it a little.I have lost 31 Lbs.. I feel a lot better,and eating much healther. I went from 208 Lbs. to 177 Lbs. at present. Stick with it and you will be amazed how much you can lose. Good Luck.

hey ricochet........

i have tried this diet. i just cannot seem to stay with it.
i tell myself that i can eat all the meat i want and the salad and any kind of dressing, not to worry about the fats........but those darn carbs, sugars, and starches are my down fall. how do u deal with those carb cravings. man i need to shed a bunch. i am 6'2" and weigh 310.
if i could see 240 again i would be happy. my knees would be happy, my feet would be happy, my wife would be happy. got any good recipes.

okcoyote.

I reckon everybody's different. When I've been on low fat high carb diets, I've been miserable for craving meat and cheese. I don't miss the carbs much.

I've been on the no carb diet about a month and have lost about 10 lbs. , but I seem to be stuck there. Lost that wieght the first two weeks and can't seem to get past that. I do miss my carbs(ie: pasta, breads, ice cream, most veggies, and ice cream) but don't have a craving per sey. Not as bad as nicotine when I quit smoking 2 1/2 years ago.

What're you doing for exercise, Benny?

Lately it's been harder for me to get out and walk, my main activity now.

It's time we did something about global warming. Let's all go buy a ton of coal and set it on fire!

Believe it or not, BK is now offering a "bunless" whopper. The best part is...it costs more that a normal whopper!!! I suggest countering this malicious act by ordering a drink, no cup. By the way, my almost-wife is doing the Atkin's diet, lost seven pounds the first week. Man, am I glad I don't have to worry about fitting in a wedding dress!

[Ricochet]

Yeah, I'd seen Burger King's ads for the bunless Whopper. The girl taking the orders hadn't.

Congratulations to your almost wife on her progress!

Hey, if you do fit into that wedding dress, you don't have to post pictures here. ;D

As of this morning I'm down 12 lbs.

Another 40 or so would be about right.

[Bennie]

Richochet, I've started to drop some more pounds, my wife said I'd hit slumps in this and then start losing again. I'm also down 12 lbs. , 20 more to go.

[Ricochet]

All right!

It's turned sunny here. I'm about to go take the dog out for a nice, long walk.
