induction diary

[mission to lose]

Re: induction diary

hi j

perhaps im not 100% happy with my size and thats why i thought id try atkins but im sure with some exercise i can bulk up the areas i want and slim down the ones i dont but thanks for your input

mission to lose

i would not try and fix my own car or computer as i know nothing about them so im not doing atkins for that same reason im sick of having to count carbs and feeling greese eating steaks and fat all day and having to use the toilet 3 times during the night because im drinking so much water

but look people im perhaps not at the hate myself stage that i need to be to really get behind atkins i understand from reading on here (not skim reading mission to lose reading properly) atkins is for life a real change to what you eat and im not ready to count carbs and not treat myself to a chinese or a pizza once or twice a week for life

if the exercise thing dont work out for me who knows what frame of mind ill be in i may even properly read the atkins book

but anyway this induction diary should now be focused on cheri as she is doing very well its dinner time on day six and apart from upset tummy she is doing great

George

George, Like I said previously...
Well best wishes to you.






Oh, and those were your words, not mine...


"ok i see your point i should have read the book myself
but if im honest im not the best reader and seem to just skim read things"

Re: induction diary

Not great that your tummy is not feeling good. It is not a side effect of the diet. It may still be something you ate that is not agreeing with you. Was everything fresh? Did you take an aspirin? If that is not helping and pain persist I would have it checked out


It looks like you are eating a lot of sausage - don't they have sugars in them? Did you check the ingredients.

Drink plenty of water (because you are eating a lot of salt) take your vitamins. Go for a walk.
Beat George in backgammon. Just for me

Re: induction diary

Re: induction diary

Hi, Cheri!

What tablets did you take?

i am having sausage they are made by my butcher with nothing added

Not even spices?

And did you ask him if he adds rusk or other grain products... or are you just assuming that he doesn't?

Re: induction diary

i took ibroprofen tablets

i asked him what he added and only some mixed herbs same as the burgers i explained why and he told me i could have the burgers and some sasuages but not his lamb burgers as he hads rusk to them

Re: induction diary

I am sorry you are still feeling rough, Cheri

Mostly when people have tummy pains on starting Atkins it is from constipation, and they diminish once they can get that regularised.

I would definitely get to the doctor to see if she can suggest something to help.

Your sausages sound good - I have given up on b uying them so now and again make my own - I am glad you have found a co-operative butcher who understands what 'sausages made only from meat' means!

Re: induction diary

And spices have carbs, too, so they're not 0 carb.
