Anyone who has been on the Atkins weight loss die knows how monotonous it gets. Oh sure, when you first start it sounds terribly exciting. You get to eat all the meat that you want. For me, it was the perfect diet. I got to eat bacon for breakfast every day, and steak as often as I wanted. Nonetheless, it was only a matter of time before Atkins diet food got boring. This is the tragedy of the Atkins diets. It is a sad day when steak becomes a boring meal, but nonetheless after the first week it was hard for me to even take a bite of that red, fatty meat. I was just so sick of it. That is when I started being more creative with cooking Atkins low carb recipes.
For the first several weeks of the Atkins diet, I didn't contemplate any creativity with my Atkins low carb recipe regimen. After all, I was quite happy with my steady diet of meat and cheese. Who wouldn't be for awhile? By the time I got sick of my all meat diet, I was a little frightened of Atkins low carb recipes. To tell you the truth, I assumed they would all be terrible. The only thing that I really wanted, after all, was starch. I figured that anything that I could eat in the Atkins diet would be proteinaceous and disgusting. It turns out that there are more low carb foods than I had thought. Although a lot of people start with basic high-protein food, Atkins meal plans can actually be varied and interesting. It is all a matter of being creative.
| Historical Quote |
Upscale people are fixated with food simply because they are now able to eat so much of it without getting fat, and the reason they don’t get fat is that they maintain a profligate level of calorie expenditure. The very same people whose evenings begin with melted goat’s cheese ... get up at dawn to run, break for a mid-morning aerobics class, and watch the evening news while racing on a stationary bicycle.

Unfortunately, once I started tinkering with the Atkins low carb recipes, I wanted more. It was almost as if those Atkins low carb recipes touched off my hunger for other, more varied foods. The more I learned how to cook interesting foods that I could still eat on the Atkins diet, the more I wanted the forbidden fruits so to speak. The Atkins low carb recipes, instead of the assuaging my hunger for carbs, merely strengthened it. I knew that my days on the Atkins diet program were numbered. Sooner or later, I would give in to the temptation to eat carbohydrates. Rather than waiting for the inevitable, I made the decision to switch off the Atkins Weight loss program. No more Atkins advantage bars, no more steaks for dinner. From now on, I would lose my weight by eating a healthy diet.
