fell off the wagon?

[bree2003]

ok so its day 4 of induction and i kinda messed up and you know those little sugar free baskin robbins hard candies? i couldnt resist so i stuck one in my mouth but then i started to feel guilty after half of it was gone so i spit it out. and now im all worried im gonna stall.

and i think my scale is off because i weighed myself today and weighed in at 240 on a newer scale, but my home scale still says 248 ?

This won't make you stall at all. You should actually be proud of the fact that you spit it out and didn't let the guilt lead down you a worse slide. Also, remember that a "stall" is no weight loss for 4 weeks. So, no worries here.

As far as scales go, I see 10lb differences between various scales. The trick is to use the same scale and weigh yourself at the same time of day under the same conditions (clothes, etc.). I never pay attention to differences between different scales.

Re: fell off the wagon?

Welcome -- the best thing to do is only weigh on 1 scale.....that way there is no worry about what 1 scale to the next says. I set my scale to what the doctors office said and have gone by that since -- that way, when I go to the doctor there isn't much of a descrepancy (if any).

Good for you for spitting out the candy -- sugar free candies are filled with sugar alcohols which are worse than regular sugar for your system....it's best to stay away from anything with sugar alcohol in it. Staying away from sweets during induction will kill your sweet tooth, which will make it easier on you in the long run....many foods are naturally sweet tasting but we don't realize it because we've used so many sugars in our foods we never knew it.

Make sure you drink a minimum of 64 ounces of pure water (nothing added), exercise starting today and taking a multi-vitamin. If you haven't already, read the 2002 Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution (DANDR).

Eat the foods on the acceptable food list http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/atkins-low-carb-dieting-faqs/6781-what-foods-can-eaten-induction.html and find wonderful recipes here: just make sure you use Induction Recipes to begin with. Vary your meals so you don't get tired of eating the same thing over and over -- we have too many choices for that to happen.
