Re: Just A Little Reminder And Advice
I've been on Atkins for almost a year and a half, and just recently realized that I had been using the 1999 version rather than the 2002 edition. Ooops!! Now I have the 2002 version -- and there's quite a difference! Fortunately, the good advice here made up for the gaps in the 1999 edition, but it sure is helpful to hear it straight from the horse's mouth. I'm (re)reading with great interest...Comment

Re: Just A Little Reminder And Advice
I posted this question in my journal, but I wondered...I have the "blue" DANDR book...says on the copyright multiple dates, last one being 2002, but the recipes/meal plans reference atkins baking mixes, etc.
Do I have the wrong book? I know that stuff isn't right on induction, but I wonder what else is off....Induction, trimming back from Adipex usage w/ doctor

Re: Just A Little Reminder And Advice
I'm in the UK and unsure what edition I have, I suspect is a UK version of the old diet. What are the main differences between the old and 2002 diet during induction? I'm already on day 5, and worried I may be eating off the wrong plan. I was going to order the 2002 online, but I think I should go to a bookshop to see if I can get an UK edition of it.Comment

That's great, thanks. It explains a lot why I was confused about some of the threads here!

Re: Just A Little Reminder And Advice
You should be able to get a 2002 (2003 in UK btw) edition of DANDR in most charity shops.
The version I see lots of has a bright orangey-red cover with a blue strip at the top with the words
'Completely updated!
The must-have NEW edition
Including the 'Lifetime Maintenance Plan'
printed on it.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!
Check out our Low Carb Recipes website and add to it!!

Re: Just A Little Reminder And Advice
You know what is really confusing? Do a search for Atkins and you get Atkins Nutritionals. They break down the diet very well too, but it is different. For one the induction foods are different and the Atkins bars and shakes are allowed during induction. I did it by the book years ago with great success. When I went back to it recently I went by the Atkins Site and even though I still have lost about 8 pounds in 2 weeks I notice that the bars knock me out of ketosis.
Argggh.
So yes I have re-read the book and now I'm going to start a clean induction on grocery day this week. Until then My husband has lost 11 pounds and I have lost 8 in 2 weeks so it is not a total loss.

Re: Just A Little Reminder And Advice
The new Atkins site annoys me royally. Some ad writer got paid a lot of money, 'sweet sexy science' my patootie.
Welcome to the board Kierr! feel free to share your experience with bars with others when they ask, 'can we eat bars?' Congrats on your losses!Comment

Re: Just A Little Reminder And Advice
I love all things testimonials. I am struggling. I bought "the book" and have been following it to the best of my ability. I will re-read and possibly use to "resistance" plan. I lost 10 pounds the first week and have only lost 2 the next six weeks. Any thoughts????
