I’ve gone back to my modified Atkins diet, it’s the only thing that works. For those who love to lecture for the sake of lecturing (I know many), I don’t load up on tons of fatty foods without carbs. Instead I do meats, low sugar veggies and such. I learned my lesson. I first did straight Atkins when there was nothing with sugar alcohols on the market and the only choice was to do straight Atkins. The summer before I went to college, I did it and I looked FABULOUS. However, everything in life comes with a cost, that was the summer I had to have my gallbladder taken out, or rather in the fall my freshman year. Maybe it wasn’t related to the Atkins, apparently there is some sort of bad gallbladder gene in me (yes, true), but I don’t need to risk anything for the sake of dieting. My new favorite find … almond milk! I absolutely love it, it’s low-carb and good for you too! I also crave the the cilantro, cumin (or some other random spice), pepper tofu at whole foods (don’t knock it before you try it). And the best low-carb bars out there are the chocolate chip oatmeal fiber granola bars from the Atkins line.

I also make this incredible sandwich with a low-carb pita, onion & chive cream cheese, smoked turkey and a spring herb mix, yummy!

What are some of your diet secrets?

Also, for my fellow Grey’s fans, my favorite quote from this weeks episode:

“Biology says that we are who we are from birth. That our DNA is set in stone. Unchangeable. Our DNA doesn’t account for all of us though, we’re human. Life changes us. We develop new traits. Become less territorial. We start competing. We learn from our mistakes. We face our greatest fears. For better or worse, we find ways to become more than our biology. The risk of course is that we can change too much to the point where we don’t recognize ourselves. Finding our way back can be difficult. There’s no compass, no map. We just have to close our eyes, take a step, and hope to God we get there.”

I hope and pray everyday! oooh, that rhymes
