Pork Rinds are also a good snack. No carbs and are like chips for muching food.
I'm just starting day 3!!
I had a headache I guess that means its starting?!

Re: Anyone starting Atkins tomorrow! (16th March)

Hi everyone -- I've been in the yard the past 2 days raking, but it's all done now! yea.

I'm on day 3 of induction -- I'm doing great. I see a couple people asking questions so answer if no one minds

I read the need for snacks...here is what I do: deviled eggs, celery w/cream cheese, deluxe cheese slices (the ones that are thicker than normal American cheese) - cut the slice in 4 pieces and put on parchment paper in the microwave for a minute or little longer -- when they are golden yellow they taste good but I prefer them a little more brown (burnt) then they are crunchy and remind me of a potato chip - also pepperoni slices microwaved for 45 - 60 seconds - same thing - crunch little chip. Radishes are my lifesavers - you can eat 9 and it's 1 carb...that's a lot of chewing folks for 1 little carb! I've heard other people keep egg salad on hand and eat it wrapped in lettuce leaves. I also take chicken salad or this week, turkey salad and use it for lunch or snacks. Cut up some cucumber, a dill pickle sliced...there are so many ways to get your veggies in and call them a snack!

Great news about walking to the train station - and just think how much better you'll look because of the extra effort! I figured out something yesterday, I have been having trouble getting more than 4 - 5 miles on my stationary bike because it's boring...I took a TV tray, (opened it up like I was going to use it but put the legs of it through the handlebars and made a table. I had heard someone had a table on her bike but never figured out how she did it...I think this is what she did. Anyhow, I had my water jug, the DANDR book and the TV remote up there....before I knew it I had read 4 chapters of the DANDR book again and was 10 miles "down the road"....yea me!

It's been raining here and is suppose to rain again tomorrow so I'm going to have to find something indoors to keep me sane...I've really enjoyed the Spring weather we've been having (70 degree weather both days)...maybe I'll get the garage cleaned out.

Way to go everyone -- one pound at a time, one step at a time until we get to our goal.

Re: Anyone starting Atkins tomorrow! (16th March)

Thanks Elizellen will look them up. I am surprised to read people actually used the mayo with sugar in it? I know sugars not allowed on inducation and can keep you out of ketosis...now i am getting confused

Re: Anyone starting Atkins tomorrow! (16th March)

Hey thegreat08 I would love to start with you i have to start over tomorrow. I need the support also. I never thought giving up carbs for 14 days would be so difficult...Yikes!!!!!!!

Re: Anyone starting Atkins tomorrow! (16th March)

I need to ask, what do you guys use for mayonaisse? I can't seem to find one without sugar in it. I tried making my own yesterday...don't ask how it went....(disaster) waste of my precious olive oil. If anyone has some tips let me know, to be honest I would rather buy it than make it myself the thought of eating raw eggs....

One of our members posted a supplier in UK of sugarfree mayo in this thread

Re: Anyone starting Atkins tomorrow! (16th March)

Hey guys!

Day 2 almost done! It is going well. I was so late I missed breakfast but had a tea on the way out the door. I had some veggies and meat for lunch and now I am having an afternoon tea! I defintely feel hungry today but I feel the Atkins hungry I ususally get before a whooshie. It sort of feels like my tummy is eating itself....so I figure I must be on my way to ketosis in the next couple of days.

It is 14 degrees celsius in Toronto today. I couldn't help but go outside for my lunchbreak and instead of going to the grocery store next door...I decided to walk to the one a few blocks away. I was feeling anxious this morning and the fresh air completely helped! mental progress!

Re: Anyone starting Atkins tomorrow! (16th March)

Re: Anyone starting Atkins tomorrow! (16th March)

Hay, I've made it through day two. My day went well (was a bit hungry and forgot my snacks at home). I think my body is craving carbs and that i am not really hungry. I need to ask, what do you guys use for mayonaisse? I can't seem to find one without sugar in it. I tried making my own yesterday...don't ask how it went....(disaster) waste of my precious olive oil. If anyone has some tips let me know, to be honest I would rather buy it than make it myself the thought of eating raw eggs....

Will catch up with all you ladies tomorrow. Keep the faith, we can do it! I can't wait for the bonfire with my baggy T's
