i love the atkins diet ---love the receipes and the way of life---but cooking for everyone gets me in trouble---i never fill up always hungry --i eat good but maybe to much ----i jsut started taking xyphedra---i took one today and for 9 hours i was not hungry,did eat some munchies with the pill and was full took another after 9 hours and ate more munchies and cheese----tomorrow i will not eat munchies---before i took any pills i ate the atkins way ---i had mushrooms,veal,onions,and a piece of bacon for lunch and for breakfast i had strawberries and whip cream---so i do not think i did to bad on my first day---------the only thing i had since 1:00p.m. was cheese curls and half piece of swiss cheese and a few chips----no more munchies-----so far i am not hungry---hope it says this way----many time i do not want to eat but as i am getting older i can not go without food so far ok----i cook for so many family members sometimes it is hard -----the kids eat all the time and my small mother eats all day and the husband eats a lot ---i make a lot a cookies for the kids and everyone else ---this is a problem as they are calling me

oops ----i forgot to mention i am so bad -----i took a java monster with the first pill i took ---so tomorrow i need a lot less calories good thing i did not eat supper as i had to many calories for the day----tomorrow will be my 2nd day ----

today is the 2nd day of the atkins/xyphreda diet-----lost 2 lbs ---today i had 3 strawberries with spenda----making a smoothie with 7 strawberries ,1 12 cups of milk .1 T splenda and a cup of crushed ice ---this will make a pitcher full to last the day ---i eat 1 meat a day and today will be lamb cut butterfly and grilled with onions and mushrooms and bq sauce and a salad----so far i am not hungry ----i ahve taken so many diet pills over the years nothing kills my appetite-----i started out yesterday at 243 1/2---hope to be losing ---hate being FAT
