Where's the beef?

[wiseblood]

Hi everyone,tomorrow I'm starting my Induction.I've reread DANDR and I'm getting myself psyched.The first week will be hard because the diet always tears my stomach up for the first few days.This diet just makes sense because other than meat and vegs,everything is basically junk food(sugar+starches).I haven't weighed in months,but I know I'm past 400 again It's time to get healthy before I turn 40 next year.I lost 80 pounds a couple of years ago on a 700 calorie diet,so I know I can do it.I'll miss my beer though I'm be posting quite a bit from now on,and I wanted to say Hello. So,Hello

Re: Where's the beef?

welcome to ADBB abd back tio Atkins.
since you rerread your DANDR you know you will get your beer in moderation back in OWL rung 5 so don't make it a I will miss thing or it will grow horns and teeth and try to attack you ever chance it gets. Make it a when I'm healthier and smaller I can again enjoy my beer in a responsible manner as a part of my new Atkins WOE and you will be surprized how knowing you will be able to again have it in a few months will make it get very small and friendly even as in "NO, don't eat that high carb CAKE!!! you KNow you want to have me in a few weeks don't blow it!" siad the beer to wiseblood as wiseblood comtenplated eating a gooey fudge cake instead of his healthier low carb Atkins snack.

Happy low carbing. Be sure you also join one of our exercise challenges so you can get some motivational help with that part of your Atkins too.

Re: Where's the beef?

Just my luck,I woke up with the flu.
Any recommendations for low carb flu medicine?

[DAWNIMMEL]

Re: Where's the beef?

Welcome wiseblood. As far as flu medicine. Dayquil and niquil liquid caps. Don't get the liquid, it is loaded with sugar. Fell better soon........Dawn

Re: Where's the beef?

The first week will be hard because the diet always tears my stomach up for the first few days.

It does mine too but after the 1st 2 weeks all of my GERD symtoms and acid reflux are GONE! I'm not even taking my prolosec anymore. It's wonderful!

[wiseblood]

Re: Where's the beef?

That is one of the great things Valentine-
I take something for acid reflux everyday
and after a week of eating this way,it goes away


I wanted to get hardcore before the first of the year,
but I'm having to ease into it because I've got the Flu.
And Theraflu has 9 carbs
so tonite I had Babyback Ribs with Baby Ray sauce
and greenbeans with mushroom sauce
and low carb beer.
I'm giving up bread and sugar now
and Sunday I'll start Induction HARDCORE

Re: Where's the beef?

I just wanted to welcome you to ADBB from another formerly 400-er. You can ease your way in or go hardcore right away. Just make sure your Day 1 is clean. One final recommendation is to take your measurements on Day 1 because I know they will impress everyone who reads them in a few months. Again welcome to our Atkins family.

Re: Where's the beef?

Thanks Kent,I'm going to do it right.
My original plan was to start on the New Year,
I was just getting a headstart.
At least most sugars and starches will be out of the way
before sunday.
How much did you lose on your first two weeks
and your first couple of months?
You look great man,great job

[Kent]

Re: Where's the beef?

Thanks. After the first two months, the losses were all just keep on keeping on. I lost 18 pounds the first two weeks, but I was pretty miserable with Induction flu and loss of many comfort foods. As a result, I didn't exercise at all. I did eventually get back to exercising the first month, and lost total 28 pounds. By the end of 2nd month, I had lost 45 pounds. Not exactly Biggest Loser fast, but it was about 4.2 pounds per week.

I hope you see the same or better losses.
