Welcome to ADBB!

I'm sure you weighed yourself, but take body measurements too.

Take some food with you at work, in case nothing else "legal" is available.

And water, water, water... have a bottle with you at work.

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.

Welcome to the ADBB! The support you will find here is invaluable ... just follow the plan as written and don't deviate and when you are feeling like you are getting sucked into the great sugar cyclone, post here. People understand, but it is best to come here and talk to others before you have a cheat. Best wishes to you!

Re: Just Started Atkins Induction...

Well congratulations on that. You went into ketosis real fast. Good for you.

Just a few thoughts about your first day:
NO almonds - nuts can be introduced later but we stay away from them on induction. Nuts is a problem food for too many people.
And you need 3 cups of veggies from the allowed list - preferably spread out over the day.

But wow. That is great. Keep us posted.
