In this video, I deal with the issue of planning and how to resist temptation with a tool that should be in every low carbers possession, especially new ones. That is a low carb emergency kit. This kit should help resist temptation by reminding you why you want to lose the weight and take care of any hunger pains.

What's in it:
(Food)
* Beef Sticks -- no sugar or corn syrup
* Summer Sausage
* Nuts (portioned 1 oz packages)
* String Cheese
* Protein Shake
* Flax granola / cookie

Non-food:
* Before Photo
* Why you want to lose the weight (Negative / Positive)
* List of the Atkins Induction Acceptable Foods List

Much thanks for ideas of the list to 2big4mysize and Laura Dolson (About.com low carb guide)

Waw this was really helpful. Thanks. Not only did this make the right choice over what to eat for Christmas, but now i also know how and what i should plan for the New Year party.

@reminiscenze I am glad I could help, Best of luck for New Years and congrats on making the choice to eat healthier.

I'm only on a moderately low carb diet, e.g. I get most carbs from vegetables and include some lentils and occasional small portions of grain for a serotonin boost. I did try it "full swing" but it wasn't really for me. Anyway, my question is... do any of you Atkins dieters get constipated? I know it takes time to adjust and all that, but is are 3 poops a day possible on atkins?

[bowulf]

@MsOobii Some people get constipated, but I have a video that deals with the recommendations on how to stay regular. I never have had a problem at all in that category, but then again I eat mock danishes and salads with flax in them. I am as regular per day or more now than I ever was before.

[MsOobii]

@bowulf Aha I did think flax - the best seed there is! =) Thanks for the quick response. What about red wine, do you allow yourself that?

[bowulf]

@MsOobii I never drank red wine or alcohol to begin with, but on OWL and later phases, many people add alcohol back into their diet.

Watch my latest video please. There is NO WAY to go into a diabetic coma if you are not already type 1 or 2 diabetic. Many recent studies and docs also point out the cardiovascular benefits of the high fat ketogenic diets due to HDL & LDL cholesterol and triglycerides improvements.

Pshinspections and my blood tests have been great. Surely after 5 years at least one blood test would be negative. My cholesterol level are:

153 -Total

57 -HDL

98 -LDL

43 -Trig

Exactly which ones need improvement.

@0madmadame Since we seem to be already to cast universal aspersions, I have MOST vegans and vegetarians ready and willing to paint eating as a morality play and meat industry and eaters as the villains / uneducated / morally bankrupt.

Sorry you can take your dogma elsewhere, and perhaps you might find fruit there. Your "wisdom" falls flat here.

[bowulf]

@BarbershopHero That is the question I had to keep asking myself. Which do I want worse? Keep spreading your knowledge as you are definitely on the right path...

[BarbershopHero]

Everytime I am tempted or have food I shouldn't eat put in front of me, I just think "Do I want to eat this Snickers? Or do I want to be skinny again?" Or something along those lines. It's all just one choice at a time for all of us.
