Updated Post for: More Powerful than Atkins!

About a month ago, I wrote about a new diet that had come out by a team of scientists from Virginia Commonwealth University called the ‘Breakfast Cure’ Diet where you can eat ANYTHING for breakfast, as long as you eat low-carbs for the rest of the day.

Well I did great for the first few weeks. I did drop 5 pounds, I was eating dark chocolate for part of my breakfast along with eggs and toast.  I found that would fill me for most of the day.  I would have to remind myself to eat lunch.  After having dinner I was full until morning.  I find this way of eating very easy for me, because I have been doing the Atkins diet for quite some time and really like it.  With this diet, I like that you can eat just about anything for breakfast and as long as you follow the low carb routine, you will lose the weight.  The only thing I didn’t do too much of was drink 8 cups of water or exercise as much as I should, so I did hit a plateau.

Here is a sample of what to eat on this diet:

Breakfast -

2 eggs scrambled with 2 oz. lean ham, 1/2 cup spinach and 2 slices wholegrain bread, 2 tsp. butter, 2 small apples, 4 chocolate kisses or 2 Oreos ( I eat dark 1 oz chocolate)

Lunch-

2 oz. lean turkey, 1 hard-boiled egg (sliced), 1/2 cup mushrooms, 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese, 2 cups fresh spinach, 2 tbs. light dressing, 1 tsp. nuts, 1 cup of fruit.

Dinner-

2 oz. lean beef, 1/2 cup steamed broccoli with 1 tsp. olive oil and 2 tsp. Parmesan cheese, 2 cups salad, 1 tbs.  light dressing.

I realize that you have to drink at least 8 glasses of water a day.  And as for exercise, for me I have do to it everyday.  Now that I am starting to do both those along with the the BCD. I am on my way to being fit and fitting nicely in my bathing suit!
