Low-Carb Plan: Atkins-Protein Power-Me
|
June 2003
In the spring of 2002, I was working in a bookstore. One of my customers had ordered a copy of Protein Power, but took his time about coming in to pick it up. One day during my lunch break, I picked up the book and paged through it. I liked what I saw, ordered my own copy, and began the Protein Power plan on July 2, 2002.
I have been eating an average of 25 to 30 carbs per day since I started the Protein Power plan, and my weight has gone from 425 to about 266, as of 05/20/03. The picture was taken on April 10, weighing about 280. My waist is down from a size 56 to a 46. I am still losing weight, and my goal is somewhere in the range of 200 to 220. I'm not exactly sure what my ideal weight should be, but I am sure I will know when I get there! My overall health has improved greatly, and I have a much better energy level as well as more endurance.
When I asked about a before picture, Glenn told me he didn't have one, due to a general aversion to being photographed. Glenn, congratulations on your remarkable success, and may I just say here, for the record, "The camera is now your friend!"Sharing Success Strategies GLENN SAYS: "If you're hungry, EAT. Just make sure you eat something that is allowed on a low-carb plan. It's better to gorge on a pound of bacon than on a bag of cookies. And make sure you drink lots of water." Glenn's Club Roll-upsFor each roll-up: a slice of turkey or chicken breast from the deli, a slice of cheddar cheese, a strip of bacon, a slice of tomato, and mayonnaise. Cut the tomato slice in half (so that you have two semicircles). Arrange the bacon, cheese, and tomato on one end of the turkey/chicken slice, add some mayo, then roll up burrito style.
Net carbs: pretty much zero. It's like a club sandwich without the bread.
(I also do something similar with ham, eggs, cheese, and salsa.)
