Tomorrow's The Big Day

[audacity08]

Greetings Everyone,

I just finished stocking my kitchen with a bunch of items that I need for the Induction phase of this WOE and I am ready to get it under way.

I have a few more items to pick up tomorrow but I have breakfast covered for sure. I am excited about what's to come!

Good luck and go get'em!

Liv -- I am so freaking excited! I'm about to clear out my fridge and pantry of the remaining "no-no" items and then it's gonna be smoooooooth sailing lol

I know it will be a challenge for me though... my problem was never really at home... it was eating out. I gotta retrain myself to cook and pack lunches.

I'm willing and I deserve it!

Welcome -- sounds like you are well on your way to success!!!

Make sure you drink a minimum of 64 ounces of pure water (nothing added), exercise starting today and taking a multi-vitamin without iron (you should get enough iron with the foods you are eating on Atkins).

Check all around the board for everything there is to, there is a challenge section with both exercise and non exercise challenges, Rate My Menu for help with your food, journaling – something for everyone.

Make a copy of this list (What foods can be eaten on Induction?)http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/atkins-low-carb-dieting-faqs/6781-what-foods-can-eaten-induction.html and take it with you when you go to the store. If a food isn’t listed on the acceptable food list don’t eat it. Learn to read the label on all foods you buy - don’t just look at the “carb” number look at the ingredients list of everything and check the ingredients against your list. Just because it says "low carb" doesn't mean you can eat it. Also check for hidden sugars (learn the names used in place of the word “sugar”).

The recipe sites are helpful for meal planning – just make sure you use Induction Recipes to begin with.

Re: Tomorrow's The Big Day

I can tell you that once you pack lunches and eat in a few times, it will be second nature. I really enjoy making my own food these days, and NOT doing that would be weird for me! Best of luck to you.

Re: Tomorrow's The Big Day

Audacity, you can do it hun! You and I are on similar tracks it looks like. I have tried it before and failed only because I gave up on myself. You can absolutely do this and the longer you do it the easier it becomes.

Just wait until you get that huge boose of energy, just wait until people start asking you "have you lost weight?You are looking good!"

WOOHOO!!!

I'm looking forward to this WOE to become second nature... what types of things to typically bring for lunch?

Way to go on your weight loss progression!!!!

I am a seriously lazy cook but if I could find a few really tasty but simple to prepare recipes I could rotate them...

So far I see a lot of bacon & eggs for breakfast, salad greens topped with either tuna, chicken, salmon for lunches...
