    Welcome to the ADBB Steve!

    eating just meat
    Why are you doing that? That certainly isn't Atkins!

    You need to eat a much wider range of food and to include the full quota of induction veg in your daily menu. Atkins is NOT a high protein diet, it's a high fat moderate protein diet. Excess protein is metabolised to glucose in your body and used just as the glucose from carbs is.

    Do you have the book?

      Hi Steve
      Welcome to ADBB

      As Kate said, Atkins is more than just eating meat so you really do need to read the book so you know what other foods are allowed on induction.
      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!

        Yes I bought the book and had a quick read but I work offshore and never brought it I thought I understood the basics for the induction phase I was wrong. Is there anyway I can make it work this late on or have I wasted 9 days. I am due home on Thursday so I should be able to restart it then the main problem out here is all my food is cooked for me and it is hard to count carbs. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.



        Thank You

            Hey Steve:

            Welcome - use the acceptable food list that Emma sent the link to - this will help. Don't get too discouraged about the 2 lbs. Some people (like me) have slow metabolism's and the weight doesn't come off as easily as others ((but sure went on quick )). This way of life does WORK - I did it once before and will do it again & you will too.
