One word.
Salad.
At least one a day, raw spinach along with the useless lettuce-stuff; with as much beans, peas, whatever garnish as can add a few extra substances needed by the machine. Then you might have a chance. "Marie's" (refrigerated) dressing has 0 preservatives; the usual bottled stuff could mothball the Enterprise.
Bon appetit

Too much spinach
Dangerous.
Calcium leach.
People think it supplies calcium but it actually removes it from the body!

Off limits for me
Too much vitamin K, exacerbates hypercoagulability.
My favorite vegetable too. My luck. Salads are also mostly out. All green leafy things are rich in vitamin K. So I do a V8 a day.

Not diabetic are you?
Man, my limit for sodas is about 3-4 a day, and most of the time only 1 of those is a sugar soda.
It is very rare if I even have two sugar sodas. And I'm 270+ pounds. But my weakness is bread and all things breaded. Cheese, etc.
I'm actually trying to get back down to 250, then possibly to 225, but my plan is exercise and try to follow Weight Watchers program.
At least it's a balanced diet. And that means less bread and more veggies for me.
I would probably go mad on Atkins.

Re: go mad on Atkins.
I know what you mean about bread.
It is possible to buy (~$5/loaf) or [link|http://health-1.jeekim.com/recipes/helpful-recipes-081803.2987.html|make] low carbohydrate bread. The main ingredients are wheat gluten and soy flours with other flours to lend interest. I've made this bread for my wife and got some positive feedback.

Yeah, but...
...just how much do you have to eat for that to be a problem?
"Bloody loads", is my guess.

"Bloody loads"?
Is that what happens to you after too much?

/me hands Broomberg
an English-to-American dictionary.
"bloody loads" == "a rather substantial amount, and surely more than could sensibly be eaten by a rational person"
