Re: start atkins right now or tomorrow.
No time like the present, Laurenad - look back at some of your menus from when you WERE doing Atkins and eat a similar amount as you would have been doing on a 'clean' induction..
You could count this meal as the start of your induction and so count off your days from 4 pm each day instead of in the morning if that makes it easier for you.
Have you spotted the Second Time Around Club forum here at ADBB yet? Why not introduce yourself to the regulars there as they are a committed supportive group of people who will be happy to encourage you in this new attempt at Atkins. As they are all members who have experienced 'falling off the wagon' they are committed to giving that extra 'prod' towards keeping on track!!Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?
Take a look at the thread from the latest Veggie Challenge to see how others manage it!

Re: start atkins right now or tomorrow.
You can just eat an Atkins style low carb meal tonight then, begin tomorrow officially.Originally posted by Laurenad
By the way, you'll be perfect for the Second Time Around board because they are a supportive group and because they're not newbies like the other folks in this forum.

Re: start atkins right now or tomorrow.
you need to expand your mind and think of your Atkins day as from the moment you started Atkins till that time 24 hours later. During that period you can have the 3 cups of veggies from the acceptable lists in chapter 11 the 20 net carbs the water you have to drink the proteins and fats you need and your supplements.
If that is too complicated for you then just eat what you would have as dinner for your normal Atkins day if you started at breakfast and don't worry about it.
You are making mountains out of molehills and setting yourself up for failure again. Read your book. if you left it at home or some other place get a new one and keep it with you at all times. Read chapter 11 and if the food or the ingredients in the food are not on those lists or in those rules you don't put it in your mouth. When you take responsibility for you then and only then you will be an Atkins success.
Happy low carbing.by the book atkinseer
