Low/No carb: what do you eat?

So from last summer to this summer I had lost 60 lbs, but I've fallen off the wagon and gained about 20lbs back. I want to get ride of it as quickly as possible and I know low/no carb isn't the best plan for long term weight loss, but I need it off FAST and I've lost 45lbs in 2 months with Atkins in the past. We're going on vacation in 8 weeks, so low/no carb plus exercise is my plan for now then I will add in healthy carbs when we come back or when I hit my goal weight.

Anyway, I haven't done low/no carb in awhile. What do you ladies eat?

If I were you I would stick to veggies, fruits, nuts, and healthy beans.

I just need to see the weight come off fast because I'm so mad at myself and so discouraged and I just need to feel like I'm back in the swing of things.

Ya I totally know that feeling. I think if you have an egg white and veggies for breakfast, blueberries for a snack, and veggies for lunch with black beans, a small portion of fish/ chicken and veggies for dinner you will be good to go.

Low carb food pyramid   I've been trying to get back on the no carb diet, but it hasn't been successful

That sounds right on point. I'm down with all that. Thanks

Oh I forgot about cottage cheese! Good one  

ETA: And good luck to you   It's a hard diet, but once you see the benefits it pays off I think.

Why don't you just do atkins again? 2 months is more than enough time to lose weight AND inches if you stay in the induction phase. I'm doing it now and am down 10 lbs from the 19th and I cheated on Thanksgiving and the day after that lol.

I glad I'm not the only one who got off track... I've gained 5 of the 20 that I have lost. It's sucks.. I feel so huge... I'm also going to do low carb just initially to help me get started again. I know how badly it sucks.

I don't even want to say how much I've gained back... At my absolute lowest I got down to 160lbs, then last week I was 192lbs...   I know I was bloated and about to start AF, but that's still a good 25 lbs, give a few lbs for bloating and AF...  

Low carb (like Atkins induction, but not so much meat) has been very successful for me too and works awesomely BUT only if you stick too it, which is hard bc carbs are sooo yummmy! I have had to restart bc of Thanksgiving I f*ed bad and gained 4 lbs   Plus was on my menstrual cycle that same week   I ate like a beast!

But I am getting this smurf back off. I have my weigh in on Monday ( on BG's biggest loser ) and I think this is gonna be a good weigh in.

45 lbs in 2 months?!   Damn! If I lost that much in that short of time I would be over half way closer to my goal weight. Did you even eat? lol

I hate losing weight slowly, yes I know its better for you but sometimes you need that fast boost to keep you motivated and going.

Btw, I miss your old avi

Yeah I didn't even realize it happened. I never even weighed myself. I started at 220-225lbs and then two and half months later I randomly got on the scale and was 175 lbs. I was shocked. I mean, I should've known because I was fitting into medium shirts which I hadn't worn since I was in middle school.

I was in college, so I ate in the dining hall. I went to the salad bar every day and I would go to all the different stations and find one that just had meat and veggies and only get that. I would tuna salad and egg salad, and grapefruit and I had an omelet with meat and veggies every day for breakfast. I bought soy milk and low carb cereal and low carb bread. I ate peanut butter sandwiches on the carb bread like everyday.

I even drank. I would mix Crystal Light with vodka. I never worked out either.
