Looks damn good!!

Dwight which of the flatbreads did you use for the pizzas?

I used the Flatout Light Italian ones today.

Marinated and grilled elk tenderloin, sauteed maitake mushrooms with onions and a broccoli/cheese/rice mixture is on the menu for tonight. 46g of carbs for the rice mixture tho.....

A couple Fat Tire's and a killer wet burrito for dinner. I guess I'm a ticking time bomb! That combination insures I wake up early

Hey Dwight I got some of the Flatouts and made some nacho chips. Cut one up into the triagle shapes, baked in the over 300 for 15 minutes to get crispy, and then ate with homemade salsa. When your on Atkins, any little normal thing is a treat. It was pretty good stuff, Thanks for the tip on the flatouts. I'll try the pizza next

Have you tried any of the Atkins Indulge products? There are times when a person needs something sweet and these fill the bill. They are expensive, but I don't imagine making chocolate candies with 1 net carb per serving is that easy of a job.

21 days, 264 carbs, 1080 aerobic minutes, 17 pounds.

28 days 20 lbs

Go ahead; rub it in.

Dang Dwight, are we even going to recognize you at the conference?

There is nothing I can do about the mug so should be recognizable (at least until extended cocktail hours/pyrotechnics hour).

At least that means he's going to PB VI!!

WhooHoo!!

Stuck on 20 this week. Sticking to the program though.

6 week report:

12.6 average daily carbs

Upped the Bowflex resistance by 33%; reps remain at 40 per. Upped Nordic Rider reps by 25%.

Made these Sunday. Surprisingly good!

Yeah I've tried those and they are good, I used a thick beef broth from a roast I'd baked for the gravy. It sure hit the spot.

BTW great job on the weight loss and keep it going!

BP 116/70, resting heart rate 68. All three numbers are down about 10 points since September 4. I attribute most of this improvement to letting the hair grow. Longer hair allows stress to be ejected farther away from the brain.......

How bout an updated pic of the mane? I personally like the Tommy Chong look.

Dwight, that musty be my problem. No hair on top must be lowering my IQ.

Dwight I only now started reading this thread so keep up the good work on your health.

I will give some of my experiences on health over the many years to my now 80 age.

I started working with weights at 16 and carried that till now when I can work around injuries that happen quite frequently now. I built a workout room onto my house 30 years ago. So I have always been serious about health. Picture.
So I should have been pretty healthy I thought. In a stress test I passed with flying colors, the Doctor said, but why don't you take a Calcium Coronary Scan. I did and flunked badly. This test shows how clogged the 4 heart arteries are but not specifically where they are clogged. The test is only $60 without insurance. I had my brother in law take the test and he was worse then I was and he was 6 years younger and played basket ball once a week with the guys. So he also was getting lots of exercise. So my point is exercise is important but what you eat is even more so.

My cholesterol numbers weren't that good and neither were my blood pressure numbers. My numbers are all really good now.
My brother in law and I went on a really strict vegan life stile following Dr. Esselstyn's book, Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease. I followed this for three years then added grilled chicken breast and salmon once a week, and one to two drinks daily. I also walk 3 miles cross country 365 for the last 5 years.

Dr. Esselstyn took 17 people who were very sick. They had had heart attacks, bypass operations, angioplasty, pills, you name it. These people had by and large been sent home to die by their cardiologists, their heart disease so severe nothing further could be done. Doctors told several they would be dead in "less than a year."

But they didn't die. Instead, each agreed to become part of Dr. Esselstyn's study, and adopted a low-fat plant-based diet as their medicine. 12 years later every one of these patients was alive, free of heart disease, and living full, active lives. Even those originally given a death sentence of "one year to live" are alive today 21 years later.
