Welcome to ADBB!

I'm don't know how much you have to lose, but keep in mind that 10 lbs for someone who has to lose 20 is like 50 lbs for someone who has to lose 100. It's a relative thing, so don't be disappointed and think Atkins doesn't work for you if you don't lose 10 lbs in 14 days. Also, if you don't have much to lose, it's best to move to OWL immediately after the first two weeks and progress through OWL and Pre-Maintenance, so that you reach Maintenance by the time you reach your goal weight.

Yep, add some Induction veggies there. Three cups of them.

Hi and welcome -- stay away from the shakes and bars (they are NOT legal on induction) - eat a variety of foods, get your fats, carbs and protein in daily, drink plenty of pure water (nothing added), take your supplements and exercise...it's really that easy. Read the 2002 DANDR book so you know what you’re doing.
Check the stickies (information posts) at the top of this page http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/atkins-diet-14-day-induction/

Drink a minimum of 64 ounces of water each day, including:
Filtered water
Mineral water
Spring water
Tap water

Crystal Lite, sugar free teas, sodas, latte’s, smoothies – don’t count – PURE water is the only thing that counts toward your daily water intake. Now is the time to make changes – stop using these products. If you need a “flavor” in your water float a lemon or lime slice on top of your water

Check the recipe sites also - they are very helpful and will help make your meals so much more enjoyable.
