Induction and Sport ?

[pierreammoun]

Hello List ,
A small brefing:
male , 40 years old 100kg. height 167cm.
over weight = around 20~25 kg. But I will be happy with 15.I do not want more !!


I have decided to do atkins. and today is my first day.
I have read the book and for few months I ve been reading the posts..So I can say that I pretty know what is allowed and what is not...
my current weight is 100kg. I wish to be around 85kg.
Which is 15 kg down.

I am planning to loose that weight within 3 months as follows:
8kg the 1st month.
4kg 2nd month.
3 3rd month.

Here is what I am starting to do :
14 days induction , that would probably get me 4 or 5kg down...then the next 15 days will get me the needed 3 or 4kgs. If I do extended induction.

I am also planning to exercise like 4 times a week.Exercise will be :
30 min treadmill (speed around 4~5 Km/hour)
10min sauna (I like it.)
15 min swimming ( I am learning !)

So guys , wish me luck and please back me up !!! my plan seems ambitious , but I am sure with your help and support I will be able to do it.

Please any advice , any help is highly appreciated. I count on your people !


Pierre.

Well done for planning so well - I jumped straight in by glancing at the book and its taken a week or more to really get to grips with the diet even though I thought I knew what I was doing when I started!! I'm now rereading the book and reading the stickys on the site - even navigating this site is not always easy - but I'm getting there. How did you decide on the exercise plan ideal for you? Sorry I haven't got any advice at the moment except that water is mega important - good luck.

congratulations on doing the research and making that first step - also on planning your exercise schedule

although it is often motivating to set weightloss goals this can be counterproductive if your body doesn't follow your time schedule, so please dont assume the way of eating is not working if you dont achieve those weights on those dates!.

Until you have done induction you do not know if your body loses weight quickly or painfully slowly, so you might be setting yourself up for failure from the start if you have guessed wrong and you might own one of those 'weightloss-resistant' bodies!

Why not set goals that you can have some control over? Like 'I will stick to induction without deviation for 14 days" as your first time-dependant goal!!

To see new Atkineers giving up in despair when they fall short of their idea of how much weight they will lose in a certain period of time even though they are following the rules to perfection is heartbreaking for all of us, so please be kinder to yourself.
