  • Holy wow!

    So when Adam and I started out five days ago, we were both excited and hopeful, but I was the more motivated one. After a couple of days, however, I started to get really bogged down because Adam suddenly had all this extra energy and reported that he was starting to look a bit slimmer, whereas I just felt like crap and was skeptical that it was working for me in spite of following the rules and working out every day. It must've just been 'start-of-diet' blues, though- I just hopped on the scale and I've lost 8 lbs I was so shocked that I recalibrated the scale to make sure it was accurate and weighed again 3 or 4 times and it came up 182.2 every time! I nearly cried, ha! The two of us together have lost a total of 19 lbs since 12 March, I simply cannot believe it! So, for anyone who's only a few days in and feeling like giving up, stick with it! If you can't tell a difference when you look in the mirror yet, try on those rings that you haven't been able to wear in years because your fingers were too fat. The first place I noticed weight loss was my hands!

    Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?
    Take a look at the thread from the latest Veggie Challenge to see how others manage it!

      great start measure too so you can see the inches of body fat being shed when the scales refuse to validate your hard work following the Atkins plan cause that day will come.
