Introduction is harder the second time around

[ceemarie]

The introduction phase is not as successful as it was the first time. I have only lost 5 lbs in two weeks. I little fustrating!

I am pretty sure I am below 20 carbs, but I know I am not exercising like I should.

I think my metabolism needs a big kick in the rear and I have only been lifting weights -- need to get back into my walking rountine!!

walking definetly works. I started out slow and now I'm up to about 10 miles a week. I also quick looking for the closer parking space and escalators and made more walking just a part of every day.

Yes it is. I think the second time around we just remember how easy atkins is ... however we forget that induction was not that easy. I think we also think since we did it before we can cheat a little ( kind of like we know that eventually we will be able to eat more carbs so why not now ) .... But it is just as important to do a clean induction the second time around as it is the first!!!

Do it clean and you should get the same results.
