:wave hey I'm from Taree near Forster in NSW. I've been on the induction diet bout 3 weeks now.. I admit to loving the decadence of it and even feel guilty bout that at times too.

I was sooooo sceptical about the fat consumption issue...but if I don't eat it I don't lose it, so there you go. So far I have crunched up 10 kilo's and am not complaining at all.

Thank goodness I am a creature of habit... I luuurv my fried cured pigget and eggs for breakfast every day :icondance .. 3 weeks and I still look forward to it every morning... but then I hate cereal sooooooo. :tounge

hope we get heaps more posts in here with plenty of ideas and tips.... Unfortunately we don't have Nando's here where I live..... but does good ole BBQ chicken count?? hope so... I like it with the skin on ...I like it a lot! :icondance

I liked you until now!

:sadblinky oh.... I'm sorry. I like you too! It's just I have very strong feelings against Mr Bush.... It's a bit different here in Australia, babe - a lot of us feel like we've been hauled into something very big and very scary without our consent.

Anyway. :hug Let's be friends?

Don't get too upset Feisty....we all stick our gob in it from time to time....they probably think the same about us picking Howard for PM again....it is just a difference of opinion....

MOG you aren't too upset are you????

Where is the concert at Feisty???

Hiya

Hi,
I'm a 20 year old, girl who lives in a small town not far from Taree (hey tish) but works in Sydney, I'm slowly easing my way onto atkins, basically because I was diagnose coeliac and thought if I'm giving up bread, pasta and cakes I may as well give them all up, and lose some weight, Anyway my doctor has suggested I start on the OWL and slowly ease myslef onto induction instead of vice versa so I have been on OWL for the last few months and have been loving it, anyway, I have to mention Darrell Lea sugar free chocolate bars 2g of carbs per bar and yummy, and I have now developed an addiction for beef jerky, and sugar free jelly (I love aeroplane jelly)

anyway hi and I hope to hear more about your experiences

[tish]

Hey Mopsie...
wooo hooo for the country gals.. I live just outside of Taree too.. isn't it a small world..so you said you live in a small town out side Taree but work in Sydney... don't tell me you commute 3 hours everyday...or do you come home on weekends?

Oh and if that is the case... yo said you had trouble getting pork rinds... well Taree Woolworths carries them... I was actually gonna see if they would get in some of the other flavours in the stuff they talk about in the american posts here.

I love the darell lea choc and could eat it at first but now the sugar alcohols make me gain weight...don't know why they just do and quickly I might add.

In another thread I answered one of your posts..I didn't understand why you were going straight to OWl...now it makes sence so disregard my post... besides if it is working for you ..why change now.

do you stick to a strict OWL or are you a moderfied OWL gal.

[mopsiebelle]

I'm on a pretty strict OWL I started at 60-70g a day about three months ago and have been reducing by about 5g a week/fortnight (depending on my mood/health progress), and pretty much only the foods on the list. I'm down to 30g now and was even seeing ketosis symptoms at 45g, but I do want to go do induction, My doctor is just worried more about the possible shock my body would go into just giving up carbs full stop like that, so he weaned me off, which I am prefering because if I was in induction I know I would of crashed out a few times already

I'm still a snack queen, I love the security of always having a little low carb snack in my purse,


I work weekends in Sydney, I think a 6 hour commute everyday would kill me

[tish]

I used to be a snackaholic...now I have trouble remembering to eat..

You sound like you are working the eating plan perfectly...and the thing is if it is working for you ..why change ..

I was really worried that I would bust all out over the place but so far I have been a constant surprise to myself for not even scarfing and M&M... miracals will never cease!...
