Re: Induction - A Little Help Please!?
welcome to Atkins. there is never a bad time to start to be concerned about your health. Losing weight is as Martha says a very good thing.
recurit your DH to be part of your Atkins support team. Dr Atkins tells us to do that in DANDR. When he is supposed to be helping your restist tempation and has read your DANDR cause he takes his responsiblity strong he will not be mistakenly telling you you are clogging your arteries.
yep it is just a viscious rumor that Atkineers eat butter by the stick whikle sipping bacon grease through straws.
Atkins is a ketogenic plan which means Dietary fats and body storage fats are your primary fuels so you need to be sure they are the majority of your food intake but you can get your fats in mixed fat/protein sources too like meats eggs and cheese. eggs all by themselves are almost perfet Atkins ratios with high fat low carb medium protein. The ratio you see 65% fats 30% protein is to help you see that most of your calories fro the day should be fats. Fitday has a little circle chart that gives you what fraction of your intake is each and if the fats are about 2/3s of the circle you had agreat fat eating day.
If you do break down and get a measureing cup make sure it is an American one as the British cup is bigger then ours as is your pint.
the weight should be different for each veggie too and in one version of the 2002 UK DANDR a trying to be helpful British editor changed American volume ounces into grams not knowing we have both volume and weight ounces and they are very different for every thing Like 8 volume ounces of lettuce would be a cup but 8 weight ounces would be 1/2 a pounds and a huge amount of lettuce.
