A newbie with a couple of questions

[Pebbles121]

Hi there,

Am at day 2 of induction, but am finding that drinking water on it's own incredibly boring. What do you guys and gals drink? (not anything fizzy)

My second question is on sugar cravings, how long does it roughly take before they go?

Hi Pebbles,

We drink plain water. You have to drink a minimum of 64 oz of plain pure water daily, more depending on your weight.

Sugar craving...that varies from person to person, and some people never lose it. But generally you can expect they should subside after about 2 weeks. Mine got better after about 5-7 days, but they some back a little sometimes, but they are DEFINITELY under control. I have not had any freak-out splurges or binges. So I am good.

Are you reading the book for your info to follow the Atkins Way of Life?

This is the Version followed on the ADBB.

Only water, with nothing added, counts as water. As you probably know already, the minimum is 64 oz per day.

What do you guys and gals drink?

Tap water.

Occasionally I have a cup of unsweetened tea.
