Officially 14 days on Induction today

[jane654]

Well, here I am at 14 days. Still planning to continue on Induction, am happy with what I am eating and not bored. Noticed that cravings are gone, and really I am not terribly hungry at strange times (like right after I ate a carb loaded meal... go figure!). Started at 221.5, today I am at 213.5 for a total loss of 8 pounds! YAY!

congrats on the great start you have made to becoming an Atkins goalie.

How many inches did you lose? if you haven't measuered now would be a good time to do so cause soon you will encounter the infamous PISS and the scales will stop rewarding you but you will still see those inches of body fat being shed until the scales catches up to your morphing body.

Re: Officially 14 days on Induction today

I too finished my two week induction as of yesterday. My total weight loss was 2 lbs. My first reaction was obviously disappointment but here are the things that I think affected my weight loss or lack thereof:

• I overate - In looking back, I believe I over indulged in foods out of fear that I would become hungry. I failed to heed the advice to eat until satisfied. It's amazing that I still lost two pounds and didn't gain any weight;
• I did not exercise - whatever the reason, I failed to incorporate exercise into my routine;
• I often did not include 12 to 15 net carbs in allowed vegetables, opting instead to eat protein only;
• I did not consistently drink a minimum of 64 oz of water each day.

These are the things that are obvious to me, of course, I welcome anyone's suggestions or questions to help me better understand. I plan to continue on the induction program for at least another two weeks, correcting what I know to be errors of my first two weeks.

Anyone with suggestions?

JDM,

My suggestion would be to do the Atkins plan as written, not the JDM plan!

I would also suggest you drink 1/2 your current body weight in ounces of water.

JD can you post your menu. Hard to tell where else you might have gone wrong without seeing what you actually ate.


OP congrats on making through induction!
