  • It's True!!!!

    What I've read on this site about your hunger/cravings going away.... Today is my 9th day of Induction, and I actually had to keep reminding myself that I did need to eat something!!! I think my body has fallen to the force of Atkins! What a cool thing!!!

    Calling it GOAL at this point. I'm happy with where I am now and hope to stay there, or maybe even take it down a little more.

      It's pretty amazing the things that happen to a person on Atkins!
      I always had it in my head that diet=deprivation, and I had to keep reminding myself I didn't need to stuff myself silly at meal time because I was allowed to snack if I felt the need to.
      ..and I think we surprise ourselves in our ability to do this as well...good for you, keep up the good work and don't let yourself go more than six hours without having something to eat!

        Thank you both for the comments. I'd say from the looks of both of your pictures that you've both done amazing!!!

        Yep, I know.... gotta eat at least every 6 hrs. I am, but not as much because I'm really not hungry.

        Thanks again!

          I'm right there with ya Rick! I had such sugar spikes before, that If I DIDN'T eat, I would feel like I was going to litterally pass out. Now, I have to make myself eat. It feels nice not to spike, because I would get really bit@# too, and now my mood is beginning to stabilize.
          I did it!!

                  I'm glad to hear that ! ( hunger & cravings going away ) . . . Last night was my worst night ever. But I didn't eat and mess up induction !! And I was glad of it this morning. I got through my worst night ever and I am proud of that. In my track record - I'd usually would have given up and caved in before now. And after reading this - maybe mine will come to a hault soon. Thanks !

                    I just want to say, the encouragement from the veterans of this board is remarkable. Thank you all for the comments, it really helps to keep the motivation levels up.

                    Coitrina, good for you, it feels good to not be hungry or crave foods, doesn't it?

                    SabrinaBird, just hang in there, I think if you're doing it right it will happen soon.

                      I completely relate Rick! The first time I started this WOE I realized the cravings were gone and I had to remind myself it was time to eat.

                      It's a great feeling!
