well I have been on induction for almost 3 weeks and I lost 15lbs, 86 more to go to get to my goal of 150, My only problem is my energy but that is from forgeting to eat, like yesterday all i had was a chicken breast and chef salad, wich isnt good for me to only eat that little, Im a compulsive over eater so I used to never forget to eat! I need to make some prepared snacks like I did yesterday all the time, I had chicken breast cubes to snack on, how ever I only like it when its fried in lots of canola oil, is that bad? also, I drink 3 quarts of wter a day and Im always thirsty, I used to never drink water,

Hello and welcome. Sounds like you're off to a great start. Atkins is a higher fat diet so using good oils like olive and canola is okay. What we strive for in induction is 65% fat, 30% protein and 5% carbs most of which come from the acceptable veggie lists. Having suppressed appetites is really great and sometimes it's hard to eat. Being prepared and having 'legal' snacks is key. Looks like you're doing well with that and your water consumption too! If you haven't already, you might want to open a free account at www.fitday.com. You can enter all your foods, exercise etc and see where you're at. Besides the food and water, exercise is the third part of Atkins. What are you doing for that? We have an exercise forum if you have some questions or successes you'd like to share and exercise challenges to help keep you motivated. -
