I had far more weight on me than you do when I was 49. It works just fine if you invest a little of yourself, reading and understanding the Rules of Induction and the Acceptable Food List. I have followed DANDR 2002 since the day I began this program and I swear by it!!

Wow!

WOW! your down to 189 now? and that happened following Atkins? WOW! since im just starting TODAY i still have a Million Questions... but i DO have my 2002 Book (what does DANDR mean?) do YOU eat a certain amount of Calories Irish? or do you NOT count calories? me myself i Had Been Counting Calories lately and i see that Dr Atkins says you really dont need to count calories as long as you follow Induction to the T... did your weight fall of Slowly? or did it come off at an evan pace? i think its Simply Amazing that You did it so well...! im really afraid to eat so many calories...

I started around 300 pounds at 41 and lost around 65 before I lost my drive to keep going. Since then I have been on and off a couple of times but have managed to keep most of my loss off. I have now started losing again and I won't lie---at our age (I am 48 now) it is tougher and exercise is non negotiable--you must get active to lose and keep the weight off. But the diet works if you do. I am losing even third or fourth time around and when I am doing the Atkins plan right it does right by me.

im AFRAID!

my calories for my 1st day are like 2200!!! im sooooooo AFRAID to eat this many Calories! during Induction this is like The Norm tho right? it seems really weird after counting calories for such a long time (even tho i really didnt lose)... do YOU eat High Calories still and lose? or did you have to take them down???

Don't worry, it is normal to eat more in the first few days. After that your appetite will be suppressed and your caloric intake will decrease. Eat only from the list of "legal" foods and stop when you are not hungry anymore. You will do just fine.

Yep, listen to Georgiana. The first couple of days your body is saying "FEED ME" because you aren't giving it sugar. So feed your body enough to keep you satisfied and on the plan. Your appetite will decrease. Promise! Also don't forget there is a metabolic advantage with ketosis you don't get with calorie counting.
