WATER!
On the subject of water, I keep reusable water bottles in the fridge at home and usually bring 3 of them a day with me to work. They are 16 ouces each so I know that if I get through them, I'm on track with what I will drink at night with dinner.
Water is KEY to weight loss. Especially if you are loading on protein. You need water to flush your body and keep your kidneys healthy. This is one reason I don't do full force Atkin's diets anymore. I did Atkin's about 10 years ago and lost 100 pounds but ended up doing some scary damage to my body that took a while to work out. Your kidneys get really pissed off when they flush continuous protein so make sure you are hydrating your ass off!
Also, it really is true that drinking a huge glass of water before a meal will help you cut down significantly on your food intake. It also aids digestion and makes for happy bowels. We LOVE happy pooping!
