Default Re: Ask buriedbeds about losing 200 lbs (very, very long)

bb,

currently, approximately how many calories do you eat per day, and what is the fat/protein/carb breakdown?

i'm curious about what kind of carb levels you end up when you follow the atkins diet long-term. i skimmed the website a bit and saw that the initial phase is supposed to be like <20g carbs/day. to me, that seems absurd. their 2-week menu plan is just ridiculous, and i wouldn't even consider attempting to try to follow it. i'm definitely concerned that i'm addicted to sugar, but even when i try to find decent things to eat, it's just not practical to eliminate so many carbs. a bowl of cereal/oatmeal, yogurt, a banana, a turkey sandwich, a wrap/burrito...all of those are like 30-40g carbs each. can you fit those into your current diet?
