No exercise again today. Didn't have time at the gym as we got there late. I wasn't too hungry today. But I ate more it seems.
The thing I love the most about Atkins is the food tastes so good as compared to low fat, low cal crap. Plus, I eat huge portions. Can't go wrong with a diet that lets you eat as much as you want and the food tastes good.
I just might get addicted to that egg drop soup. It takes about 5 minutes to make and is the best fill me up and keep me warm meal around!

Could you please post the recipe for the egg drop soup??
Thanks,

Sure. But you're gonna laugh at how easy it is.
1 cup chicken broth. Don't use that cubed crap if you can avoid it. Costco sells a good organic free range chicken broth. http://www.pacificfoods.com/products-broths.php
When that is boiling on the stove top, drizzle in two beaten eggs. Use a whisk and keep stirring it up till all the egg is cooked.
I like to use a few drops of hot sauce in mine to give it some heat. I like that this is so thick b/c you are only using a cup of broth. If your broth is bland, you may need to doctor it up a bit with some garlic powder, salt, pepper. Yum!
Thanks for the soup recipe. I'm going to try it for lunch. I started my diet 2 dqys ago and so far, so good. The hardest thing for me was giving up my beloved diet coke. sigh.
Thank you so much! Sounds great and the fact that it is simple will make me love it all the more. :)
