  • My first 2 weeks

    On monday morning, after my first two week I did weight myself.
    I lost a little over 5 kilos (11 pounds), but since TOM is here I guess
    I can say I lost a little more than this.

    I did cheat!! On the first week I ate endive once because I was just so sure it was on the veggie list that I didn't check twice. I also had 3 days (in the first week) with 4 tablespoon of cream instead of 3. Otherwise, I was a good girl.

    I feel great. Only the 3 first days were a bit more difficult, but since then I just feel great. No cravings, no feeling down in the afternoon as I use to, I sleep better, I don't feel bloated.

    Negative point? Honestly I cannot find anything bad about the 2 first weeks. I eat great food, don't feel deprived and hungry all the time. The only thing I can say I really miss, is the milk in my coffee (I use cream, it's not the same).

    I will continue induction for the next two weeks because I won't be at my main home all the time. Since I know exactly what I can eat now it will be easier than introducing new things right now.

    Good luck everyone!!

    Congrats for the 11 lbs!

    Endives are on the Acceptable Foods List for Induction. They are part of the salad veggies. Here are the lists (the ones on atkins [dot] com are different than the ones in DANDR): http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.c...induction.html

      Hmm, I don't see them in my book (I do have the 2002 version) maybe they have another name for endives?

      Anyway I'am glad I can have them then, tonight I am going to make braised endive rolled in ham with a cream and cheese sauce!!!

        Chapter 11, page 125?

        Below is the list from my book. Check the second item in column 2.



        This is the book cover:

          This is the one I bought:
          Dr. Atkins' New Diet Revolution: The No-hunger, Luxurious Weight Loss Plan That Really Works!: Amazon.co.uk: Robert C. Atkins: Books

          The first page read "first published in the USA in 2002"

          I have a little less choice than yours in the salad list.

          From now on I'll use the list published here on the forum.

            Oh, that's the book the guys in the UK have. It's also called chicory. I think in the US they sometimes use chicory to mean frisée. (?)

            Someone will correct me if I'm wrong....

              Thank you Georgina, I should have asked this question before!
              I love endives and kinda missed it the past 2 weeks.
