    Today is my 1st atkins day!

    I am very excited to say that today is my first day on the 14 day induction. I am a little nervous bcuz afraid of failure or no will power.
    I usually dont eat much during the day if at all. I get off work until 5pm and taht is when i eat. Is taht bad? should i "force" myself to eat something durign the day?
    How many carbs does a slice of ham have? Its 1 carb per slice right?

    You eat when you're hungry. That's all. You'll notice as time goes on that you'll eat all the time until you hardly remember that you missed lunch. It happens.

    Ham has carbs if it's cured. You'll have to read the lable on that one or check the website of the manufacturer on that one.

    Best wishes!

      You should really eat regularly. Eating meals is key to be successful on Atkins. It keeps us healthy and the bloodsugar level. When you starve yourself over a long period of the day then binge eat everything is just high wire and you pack on pounds that way. So start getting in the habit of having regular meals. Eat breakfast for sure. Then do not let it go more than six hours between meals.
      If this is difficult at first just eat small meals every two hours or so.
      Whole foods are better choices and cured and prepared. Try to avoid anything that has added sugar in it. (Ham very often have added sugar in it)

          Bacon 'n eggs is an Atkins classic ... enjoy! Make sure you eat your greens, and drink plenty of water throughout the day (at least 72 oz.). Take a multi-vitamin. Don't starve yourself, ever! Find some kind of exercise you enjoy and can stick with ... walking, swimming, whatever you prefer. Check in with this Board often ... it's full of great information and moral support!

          Welcome, and enjoy the journey!
