Now, now - don't make fun of the Captain......

;-)

and saw your post! I was one of the "participants" on the old Atkins board on here and there were/are soooooooooo many success stories! I lost approx 130 pounds on Atkins and have worked a little more fruit into it - but it's a way of life for me now and I've never been healthier or happier!

As far as the breakfast question - I'll second the leftovers post! Also - I usually always have deviled eggs in the fridge to grab in a hurry!

Also - some stores like Publix or Kroger have something in the cheese section - it's like a rolled pinwheel type thing with mozzarella cheese and something like salami or proscuitto, etc in it - and that is GREAT to have handy - just slice off a few pieces of that for breakfast or lunch and it's really filling!

...and don't forget the water! :-)

Best of Luck!

PS - as far as "cutting out all carbs and then starting to eat them again and not knowing when to quit and gaining back the weight plus some" - understanding that lo-carb is an eating change lifestyle is key to keeping the weight off - it's not something to use for a "diet" then go back to a carb-loaded way of eating.
