Doing something about my tank-ass
My tank-ass started Atkins on Monday. My goal is to lose 55 pounds.
55 pounds. Isn’t that the average weight of a 2nd grader?
Once I get all my meals planned out, Atkins is about the only diet that I don’t struggle with. Especially since it’s not as stringent as it used to be – there’s lots of veggies with every meal to offset the heart-stopping bacon and eggs breakfasts.
The only part of the diet that’s a real challenge for me is what to drink. I usually drink fruit juice – but that’s the biggest Atkins faux pas I can make – and I can only drink so much hot tea with Splenda before my bladder explodes. So you can bet I mustered up a parched YES when Fruit2O asked if I’d like to sample the six new flavors of Fruti2O Essentials.
Fruit20 Essentials are an Atkin’s dream – zero calories, zero carbs, with the nutrients equal to two servings of fruit in every bottle. The flavors are subtle and refreshing – which is what I crave most between cheese courses. I think that they are best served very cold to bring out the fruit flavors.
- Cranberry Raspberry
- Strawberry Kiwi
- Peach Mango
- Citrus
- Blueberry Pomegranate *my favorite*
- Cherry Acai
Whether you’re on a diet or just looking for a healthier alternative to fruit juices and soda, get your coupon and gives Fruit2O a try. It’s saved my tank-ass from cheating on this diet!

LOL Corrin – great post!
I solved my problem of what to drink by choosing Corona, water and coffee – in that order. The Fruit20 sounds refreshing rather than boring water though!
Bacon – LOVE it

I can’t drink things that have Splenda in them. They make me nauseated.
My husband loved the Atkins diet, but his kidney started to hurt after awhile and he’d have to quit. (but his cholesterol lowered a ton! Shocked the doctor!)
He is now working on the Big Breakfast diet and likes it a lot more. He can eat carbs for breakfast, as much as he wants.
I use Sensa, it works for me.
I’d love to find a fruit drink that gave me the full benefits of fruit, without the diet sweeteners.

Qtpies7 – My mom has to stay away from Splenda, too, so I understand the struggle. You don’t realize how many products it’s in until you have to steer clear of it.
