    confessions of a atkins diet admin

    heh ...
    OK ...
    I am on day 12 of induction and things are going very well.
    I misplaced my scale so not really sure how much weight has come off.

    I think I feel thinner
    I think my clothes are looser

    so we will see how it goes

    One thing I am trying this time
    For luch All I have is a low carb wrap at subway for lunch
    Then basically no carbs for the rest of the day ...

    Maybe a little spinache or something ...

    I just find if there is regularity to my eating it makes things easier.

    Wish me luck. Want to get into super admin shape.
    Get the book:

        One small problem, Tom. You are not doing induction. Do you mind?

              Welcome to STAC Tom

              I see you've lost your scales. Are you measuring? I didn't measure faithfully my first time around and I should of. I am definately loosing more inches than pounds quicker this time around.

              Low carb wrap? Without the wrap?

              Wishing you luck...and great having you down here.

                I had the very same reaction to the subway thing as Finelly did.

                I have do it. Admin or not. A proper welcome, here goes:

                <DEEP breath>

                Please be sure to check out the stickys at the top of the forum. They are chock full of useful information for us second time arounders. Always helps to take a little time for a refresher! We have a few challenges around here that you may be interested in signing up for. Take your measurements and log them into Mybodycomp.com (a free online account) and every 2 weeks we re take those measurements and keep a running log on one of the forementioned stickys to see how many inches the group loses as a whole just for fun. As you know, its those inches lost that you can see, not that number on the scale. Also we have challenged one another to consume a gallon of water each day. Most days there is a thread for that but other days we just add it into the check in thread someone starts each day. And since I mentioned checking in..... you gotta check in once in awhile. This is really important, So we know you are OK. If you dont, we worry so be warned that we send out the, as Star so genuinely put it........ the STAC Mafia will be looking for you. And you dont want us to send out the hounds!

                <expel DEEP breath>

                I wish you much success!

                Tom, you have come to the right place! 12 days under your belt is great and forget the scale! I am finding it a good thing to be scale-less this time around. It saves me SO much time hopping on and off of it several hundred times a day. You............. wouldnt............. believe............. how much more free time I have this time!

                    As you can see Tom we have some very well trained paying it forward ADBB atkineers here. Welcome back to low carbing.

                    we have the confessions of an admin doing his own low carb program trying to pawn it off as Atkins' induction tisk tisk. We all know you know Atkins works and that Dr Atkins changed the rules in 2002 to do away with that old rule 5 that said you could pick your own foods for the 20 grams of carbs and you were an Atkins success using that old set of rules, but you have also been a back slider 4 times now that I'm aware of.

                    Not only is it a rule breaker of the new #5 in DANDR chapter 11 induction rules eat nothing not on the lists...... it also sets you up for blood sugar surges cause you are bolusing your carbs. I know you know that Dr Atkins said we whould have some carbs some protein and some fats at every meal.


                    sooooooooooooooo order a salad at subway or a bunless sub and spread out your carbs throughout the day and do a proper Induction so you have that strong Atkins foundation to keep your house of Atkins from falling down again.

                    Now where is that exercise post about your restarting your marathon training for this yrs run?????

                    Happy low carbing.
