Re: Starting atkins tomorrow
How exciting!
Truly, stick with it and this will change your life!
The first few weeks might be tough while your body adjusts and you learn to overcome head hunger, but trust me - it will pass!
Stay strong and follow the rules because it’s worth it!
Good luck!

Re: Starting atkins tomorrow
My advice right now would be to plan your meals for at least the weekend, and plan activities that arent' centered around food. And plan to spend some time on line reading success stories and stickies.
Post right after breakfast tomorrow with your menu for the day so you have time to adjust if nec.

Re: Starting atkins tomorrow
hi and welcome.
Be sure to keep your copy of Dr. ATkins New Diet Revolution, 2002 edition nearby. I found it was really helpful to keep a copy of the Induction Acceptable Foods list and the Rules of Induction with me for a quick reference.
Be sure to eat your veggies daily. Too many people think Atkins is just eating meat, eggs and cheese and forego those wonderful veggies.

Re: Starting atkins tomorrow
I did not have lunch. i just had the 2 beef jerkeys and cheese. for dinner this evening i had 2 hamburger patties and 2 ounces 2% motzerella cheese. i have drank 86 ounces of water so far i will try to get more in before bedtime.. i ate 2 cups of stewed tomatos. I also had a pepsi jazz. How long does it usually take before you are in ketosis. thanksLast edited by stormy587; August 17, 2006, 04:28 PM.Comment

Re: Starting atkins tomorrow
Aiee, Stormy... you want to have a decent lunch. 3 bigger or 5 smaller meals to keep your blood sugar even. Tomato is limited to 1 cup a day during induction. Do you have the book???Paul

Re: Starting atkins tomorrow
I am proud of you stormy587! Keep it up! Just a coupple of tips for you. Off the top of my head I think tomatos are high carb or at least higher than other vegies, I also notice when I am on induction I gravitate to diet soda just because it feels like some kind of reward or something that tastes good. Try cutting out the soda and stick just with water and I would think ketosis should kick in soon. Way to go!!31- F- 5'2"

Re: Starting atkins tomorrow
Hey Stormy! (I have a friend in Louisiana named Stormy also)
You sound like you may not be eating enough...
One thing that stalled me the first time I tried Atkins was eating foods low in carb, but not checking the ingredients. I didn't do very well. Then someone told me that if anything I eat contains any type of sugar (except sucralose/Splenda) that it will stall my weight loss and/or keep you craving. That is one tip I'd give to anyone new and/or having any types of stalls. Check your ingredients and make sure sugar (or any form) is not listed in it at all (or starches, flours, etc.) The reason I say this is because a lot of beef jerky has sugar in it (not all of them, but a lot). So, if you get a chance, check the ingredients and if it has sugar, that may be why you got so frustrated in the beginning.
Hope this helps.
