Hi, I am new here and on Induction Phase

[enausense]

Hello guys, I'm a housewife, 22... I'm on my first day of Induction... I did this before without exercise and lost 9lbs. This time I am going to it with exercise and hopefully I will lose more weight. So anybody here who's starting the induction phase today? We can do induction phase together, you know support each other? I really wanna lose 40-50 lbs before October 2010 and I thought Atkins diet is the best option I have.

Welcome, enausense! Exercise will help you be healthier even if it doesn't accelerate your weight loss. I don't think it is a good idea to set weight loss deadlines. You might be disappointed. I hope this time you will make Atkins your woe and follow the maintenance phase after you reach goal. What Atkins book are you reading?

Re: Hi, I am new here and on Induction Phase

Right now, I don't have the Atkins book, but I read the information about Atkins in their website Atkins? - Official Site - is a powerful life-time approach to successful weight loss and weight management. all the phases, what are the foods to eat and not to eat... those stuffs you know. I also visit this site a lot and decided to join today... cause this time I am really motivated to do this, and of course with some support of members here. I know setting a deadline isn't really that good, but I think 5 months is good for 40 lbs to lose?

You really need the book.

>> read the information about Atkins in their website>>

That information is based on the 2010 book, A New Atkins for a New You. This forum relies on the 2002 Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution.

Also, there are some errors on the Atkins.com website, and without being familiar with the plan, it's hard to know what those errors are! They don't have the Induction food list correct, for example.

>>I think 5 months is good for 40 lbs to lose?>>

Maybe.

It might take longer.

My trend line showed that I should have lost all my weight (50 pounds) in a year. It took 2.

How tall are you?

Re: Hi, I am new here and on Induction Phase

Did you know the information on the Atkins.com website is not all accurate? Didn't expect that, did you? Why not buy the book, so that you have correct information? I saw some cheap copies online.

"I think 5 months is good for 40 lbs to lose?"

That would be 2 lbs every week. Hmm... I never lost that fast every week. Some weeks I lost nothing. I even have months with no weight loss! Who knows whether you will...

Yes, I read the information from atkins website, hm I look at their food list this earlier and ate 1 whole raw avocado, hopefully that didn't run my first day.

Nope, didn't know that. But I usually just eat romaine lettuce top with meat (slice of chicken, beef ) or eggs. I know it can be boring but I just drink lots of water before eating so I'll always feel full. I'll check out that atkins book in bookstore or walmart. Thanks for the info

I usually just eat romaine lettuce

That's not enough vegetables, nor is it proper nutrition. Eating close to 20 net carbs (total carbs minus dietary fiber) is more likely to give you proper nutrition, and over half of your daily net carbs should come from Induction vegetables.

October will be my birthday party, and a possible vacation to visit my family in Philippines, and I'm just so excited.

It surely didn't ruin it. Just keep avocado to 1/2 a small one per day from now on.

Also, in the 2002 plan, avocado does not count as a vegetable.

Hm, I definitely need to get that book for more info. Thanks a lot.

Re: Hi, I am new here and on Induction Phase

forget about the target weight loss and just go by how you look, and how clothes no longer fit due to being wayy too loose. It's not possible to lose more than 2.2 lbs of fat per week, and you don't want to starve and have your body eat your muscle. You also don't want to "Ride The Snake" ala Jim Carrey..google it..
