Skipping meals isn't a good idea.

Do you know how many net carbs you're having?

What's "lots" of water, exactly?

Re: First day

All sounds wonderful except the shake. If you have been with us for awhile you will find that those shakes really scare us. First, there have been many complaints that the stall weight loss, second, they are not on the acceptable list that we use, although Atkins site said they are okay, we don't believe it.
If you can, do yourself a favor and stick them away until your done with the first two weeks of induction, give yourself the best start at this WOE. You won't regret it.
You could make an egg nog shake instead if your hungry
Make sure you eat every 6 hours at least. If you body thinks your hungry it will hold on to that fat as tight as it can/

Re: First day

Again, skipping meals isn't a good idea ... so that part isn't "wonderful".

Re: First day

Sounds like your off to a good start. I would skip the shake rather than the meal though. I have to admit though....I was up and at work for 6am this morning and did not get my breakfast in....I feel terrible so Im planning ahead to cook something the night before and I can just zap it before I leave or when I get to work in the mornings. Shift work is such a pain!!! Grrr
anyways...keep up the good work

Lots of water for me is drinking 100oz and above a day.

Re: First day

You might want to aim for 1/2 your current body weight in ounces of water ... or as close to it as you can.

Thanks so much, will put the shakes away I have not had it today. Thanks for the advice, I do not want my weight loss to stall.

Whew, that's a lot of water lol. I should be able to do majority of that. Thanks for the information.

Re: First day

Remember ... as you lose weight, the amount of water you'll drink will come down, too!
