Re: 3 lbs down already but I have a few questions

Sherri - txs for the ideas.

The psyllium caps seem to be working nicely for now so I'll keep on downing them...just 4 a day seem to do the trick.

It is so nice that my jeans are starting to fit better. I've been struggling for months to lose weight and finally I've found a WOE that works!

Congrats on your amazing wt. loss!!!!! That is a real feat.

Thanks Aries
You will find many rewards around each corner of your weightloss journey. I believe this is the healthiest lifestyle there is and I personally owe my health and weightloss to the Atkins lifestyle. One has to remember that Atkins isn't a "diet", it's a lifesyle for life. Such a learning Journey with so many opinions.
Great news on the jeans fitting better, one reward of many to come.

Re: 3 lbs down already but I have a few questions

Bless you Sherri! I am so glad that your health has improved eating this way.

I intend eating this way for a lifetime. I just ordered a bunch of lowcarb cookbooks online by Dana Carpender and read Gary Taubes famous book "Good Calories, Bad Calories" - what an amazing read! I was being duped all along thinking low fat was the way to go (and I have a public health background!!). Gary's book shows how the science has been misinterpreted and distorted and how the subsequent message put out by public health authorities is not based on the original scientific findings - its based on untested theories and what people think is a good way to eat based on studies that don't even investiagte the effect of a refined sugar diet on their health profile. This book was a real eye-opener. I'm thoroughly convinced we're all on the right path to optimal health as well as weight loss eating this way. I am SO glad I decided to try this.

I'm rarely hungry and can sleep so much better (I couldn't get to sleep for the hunger pangs before!).

One thing I have noticed is slight nausea. I'm guessing that's due to the fatty acids being released from my fat cells. Its the same feeling I get when I'm stressed and lose my appetite - now I know why - its because fat is being released (by the action of adrenaline on the fat cells)!! Not only am I losing weight eating this way but I'm getting educated too

Not 2late: who says I'm upset. Quite the contrary. That's your interpretation. You misunderstand my direct style.

But its true - I don't wanna antagonize anyone here so I'm keeping the chocolate info to myself. You don't wanna know what else I do.

4lbs down so I'm doing something right

Well, my apologies....I misunderstood the smilie in your post as sign of frustration or anger at what was posted.

But to avoid any future misunderstandings, please be aware that in the Induction Forums we are strictly "by the book" in our advice and information because we are aware that some folks who come here have never read to book and/or have no intention to read it. So we have to keep reinforcing what Dr. Atkins wrote in the book about how to do his diet. So again, be patient with us if what is posted seems repetitive or rudimentary.

Not2late: I understand. I used the censored smilie because I thought it was funny ie was censoring myself.

I'm trying to stick to the rules of induction as much as possible and even more so now that I've seen results. I am trully amazed at how little hunger I'm feeling on this WOE. It's great!

Cheers!
