Hi everyone
I decided to buy the Atkins book recently and launched my weightloss on Monday just gone. I was searching the web for help on Atkins and found this forum...so Ive signed up!
My goal weight is not too far from what I am now but I am heavier than Ive ever been due to recent emotional stresses and Xmas New year comfort eating. I got out of control and just couldn't stop stuffing food in my mouth. It was only when I read The Atkins book, I realised I had become an addict and needed some help to get back on track. I just couldnt figure out why I had cravings that were taking over my life UNTIL I read Atkins...now I know why.
I started my weight loss on Monday at a weight of 68kg and now after 5 days I am down to 65kg without having felt deprived of food. I still have cravings for sweets now and the but I fight them with some whipped cream and splenda! My clothes are starting to feel better too!
I have some concerns and wondered if anyone can help me...Im sure others have asked these questions. I bought some Ketostix (after having trouble from Boots store who gave me a lectuure on people buying them for Atkins and how I shouldnt do it etc etc...tut tut....I told her...who do you think you are lecturing to me at all. Its none of your busiess why Im buyig these stix. They are not a prescription Item and Im not interested in your theories) I couldnt believe the cheek she had to delve into my life! Anyway, I got them in the end and got home and tested.
Well....Im a bit shocked! The stick went immediately purple!!! It freaked me out a bit cause I know that too much acid in the urine is NOT a good thing. Has anyone else had purple results? Should I be concerned about this and how long should I do induction cause allready Im thinking to add back carbs because of this result. Please shed some light someone?
