Day Thirteen - 331 lbs
Breakfast - Nothing
Lunch - Double cheeseburger, large fries, large diet coke
Dinner - Four slices pepperoni pizza, half a bag of potato chips w/ french onion dip, three slices of apple pie, cookies and cream ice cream, much diet pepsi
For anyone who lived in a cave during the early 2000s or just chose sensible diets instead here are the basic facts about Atkins. For a while Atkins was labeled as the eat as much as you want diet. You could have as many steaks, cheeseburgers, and sausage patties as you wanted so long as you didn't have the baked potato, bun, or english muffin to go along with it.
Later on Dr. Atkins amended his book a bit telling people that while they may be losing weight on Atkins eating recipes such as bacon fat soup and hamburger pudding may not be the best thing for their long term health. The basic idea of the diet is that sugar equals fat so dieters stay away from carbs (bread, rice, potatoes, etc.) and sugar (snickers bars dipped in marshmallow fluff, deep fried frozen bananas, elephant ear and neutella sandwiches, etc.). We'll see how things go.
On the upside today is a bit of a holiday, it's "Day before Diet" day and I have decided to take full advantage. Make sure to read the Dinner section of the blog. Today is probably the first day I can say"the diet starts tomorrow" and actually mean it. Wish me luck... and of course by luck I mean self-discipline.

The ominous suspense is becoming too much.
Six weeks since The Last Supper -- was it really the LAST supper?
I hope not!!
Certainly, I wish you luck and self-discipline, and an enjoyable experiment.
