    Sounds TOO good!!

    OK, I know alot about atkins, I own a few different books ,researched online, read alot, anyway... I still have a HARD time believing all this DELICIOUS food is going to make ME LOSE WEIGHT! Everyones like no eggs, no cheese, only lean chicken/turkey/fish. But whatever, my first meal Im going to have a big steak with butter and shrimp a ton of garlic maybe some mushrooms & salad! YUM
    Anyway I cant wait to get started after grocery shopping day
    Yay...

      I think the most important thing , is do a 14 day clean induction.
      See how you feel.
      For me, Atkins reduces my hunger, and I have will power to pass up pizza, donuts, bread.
      I am very sure it changes how your body produces energy.
      try it, you have nothing to lose.

        welcome to atkins....glad you could join us. and you are right, sometimes when you actually say it.....it does sound to good to be true. i have been limiting my fat intake while staying on focus and in line with the induction foods. personally for me, i have lost 14 pounds in 18 days.......but maybe i should be eating more *scratching head* - i have been having more fish and chicken because i dont want to have too much red meat, and i will have about 4...maybe 5 eggs a week at most. this is my personal schema getting in the way. am i correct in my assumptions, i don't know? am i losing weight at an acceptable pace for me.....OF COURSE!! this diet should set you in the direction that you will want to continue for the rest of your life. remember to exercise though....the gym, walking, lifting weights....do something for sure. or if you wish....you can do what i do, i made a pact with myself that i will do 8 pushups per post in this bulletin board!!

          Hi all,
          This isn't my official FIRST day...but I am eating lowcarb. (Just dont want to start officially til I've "officially" went grocery shopping for ALL I need)
          Anyway for breakfast I had ofcourse, water but I made a 3 egg omelette, I put left over chicken from last night in it, some onion, cherry tomatoes and some cheese! YUM ohh and a small dollop of sour cream on top.

          This is dieting? lol

            Me too! And when I keep my calories higher than my BMR (about 1700-1800) I lose even more. Plus I eat regularly which I why I think I am able to resist all the daily temptations at work.

              Yum indeed When shall we all turn up to join you??

              BTW - one clove of garlic has one net carb, so not too many on induction!
              Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?

                  Re: Sounds TOO good!!

                  since you eat low carb already you might not lose as much as others on induction because you probably have lost all your water weight already.
                  so dont be disappointed if that goes a little slower for you and keep in mind that this weightloss will probably not show your acurate ACE.
                  I low carbed before doing atkins and my induction loss would have meant that I have a high metabolic resistance and should have had a very low carb limit, yet I am now eating 45 net carbs and still lose.
                  Date to reach goal: I don't care, as long as it happens :P

                      Isn't it nice that we get to indulge in delicious, luxurious food while low fat die hards count each measly little calorie?

                        Well I gotta tell you, I So don't feel like I'm on a diet.... (way of eating!!) I am definately loving the food choices and there are sooo many of them. Years and years ago was when I first tried atkins... I don't know, 4 years maybe? And I wasn't that experimental with my cooking or food choices so that makes a big difference!!
                        Anyway, I DO have cravings galore especially at this time of the evening. BUT I am just remembering that those foods that taste SOOOO good to me are what made my body how it is now!!! I dont need that !!
