It does get easier. After three months I actually crave veggies and can pass up all the sweets they tempt me with at work. Once you see results it becomes much easier to resist the carbs. Plus being in ketosis helps a lot.

I started today. Been making trips to the bathroom every 1.2 hour. Not used to drinking this much water. 80 ounces so far.

Am alredy on induction, 4th day.

I think I may call this day 2 cause its the 2nd day on induction without anything sweet. NO sugar-free jello, no sugar free candy, no junk, no carbs, no sugar.

OOOOOO and I just tried the blue chese dip recipe and OMG its actually beter than the store bought pre-bottled stuff.

Hi Kathy, I'm starting tonight after hitting a bump in the road. I know it works and I'm excited to get back on it. Do you mind me asking what's on your grocery list? My grocery list usually only consists of eggs, splenda, and chicken :-/ so it gets kind of boring for me.
Thanks!

I started again today, also. I ate cheese cubes, a fairly large salad with bacon, egg, and avacado (balsamic vinegar), and an omelette with cream cheese. Tomorrow I am going to have some eggs, a burger with mayo (maybe cheese, maybe not), a small salad with ranch dressing, and I have no idea what I am going to eat yet for dinner tomorrow night. Has anyone had the lettuce wraps from Jimmy John's?

Re: Who Else is Starting Induction on 1/2/08?

I started today! Yeah! Again! The longest I've done Atkins is 11 days...then I hit the wall and had the "atkins flu!" At that point I think I was only meat, cheese, eggs, and no veggies. I lost 11 pounds in 11 days. My goal is 20. Woohoo!! Good luck to all of you!!!!

absolutely. I absolutely despise imitation crab/lobster. I vaguely remember reading or hearing that imitation meats aren't allowed.
