hey everyone i tried starting this diet a few days ago and i keep messing it all up.. but im starting fresh today! i want to lose about 28 pounds in a month and a half to two months, you think thats possible on this diet? im going to eat mostly vegetables for the diet and then for protein a little bit of chicken and fish. i dont really like the other kinds of meat and such. ive heard that when you dont have that much to lose it takes a lot longer, but im planning on staying on induction until i lose it. good idea? i really want to lose this within 1 1/2 months!! any advice or help?? im working out every morning as well!! i like to do the elliptical for about 2 hours plus some strength training things too!! thanks everybody, i really need support with this!! <33

It is not a diet you can hurry up by improving. You really need to follow it. It is not a diet of vegetables and a bit of protein - that sounds like a completely different diet. On Atkins most of your energy will come from fat, some from protein and a bit from carb (mostly in the form of vegetables)
It is not a good idea to push it by staying on induction the whole way. In fact that is the wrong way of doing it. You need to increase your carbs and your carb selection gradually over the time perioud when you are losing your weight.
I assume you do not have the book yet. But it is a really good idea to read it so you know what you are doing and why you are doing it.

Here are some threads in our FAQ that will help you.
