Hey guys!
My name is Taylor and I am continuing my weight loss journey with atkins. I was a calorie counter and in 2 months lost 11 pounds and 17 inches. But I felt so deprived and depressed and felt like I couldn't do anywhere or do anything because the calories I was allowed.
I also noticed that 60% of my food was carbs and I was eating about 1.200 - 1.400 calories a day and my yearning to binge was still with me and on most days it almost sent me to tears.
I have been doing some research on atkins and made my first day on friday.
So far I have LOVED it. These last few days I have eaten all "legal" food with 12-20 carbs from veggies and leafy green...limited cheese...and really drinking my water...etc. I also feel more freedom with going out with friends and family. I can always get a steak and veg and most any place.
I also workout 4 times a week...weight training with a trainer twice a week and twice on my elliptical.
Here are some of my question I would love answered that I am sure you have answered a billion times.
Should I worry about portions on Induction? Let's just say I have enjoyed my burgers ,steak, eggs, bacon (no added sugar) and all the legal stuff. I have been full - not stuffed but my portions are on the larger size and my hunger is not smaller yet. Should I worry about calories on induction if I am not overly stuffing myself?
Thanks so much and I look forward to posting here!

You might find your appetite decreases as ketosis kicks in too, just be aware of your hunger and adjust portions accordingly and I am sure you will soon be a loser!
