    into 2ND week and feeling GOOD!

    Hi all,

    I am delighted to have found you!. I started Atkins 9 days ago and already lost 7lbs. The biggest thing is that I feel so good! I certainly do not crave foods, I enjoy the food I'm eating also I have much more energy. so all is good so far.
    Again I have to say how good I'm feeling ... its almost like I am more peaceful .... I defiantly think I have a food intolerance to wheat/yeast.

    starting weight : 251lbs

    Thanks for such a great forum x

              Hi Monica! Welcome to the board. You've done terrific so far! The food intolerance you speak of is fondly known as carbohydrate addiction. It's no different than a drug addiction. We get off of it, feel poorly for a day or two while we withdraw, then we feel the great energy of Atkins. You can do this! Come around the board often.

                Gosh ! I am delighted with my the praise and encouragement. Thank you.
                This is the first time EVER on a food plan that I don't think about food .... I know what I'm going to have for my meals and what time I'm going to eat and I seem to be satisfied with that!! thats a miracle. I have listened to "other people" (non carby addicts) " I eat every night at 7 " that always drove me nuts, if I planned to eat every night at 7 I would have eaten a meal+ by the time 7 came and then sit and have a normal sized meal at 7! then a chocolate bar etc etc. Sillygirl you have said it in a nut shell for me !! Carbs are like a drug !! infact my first couple of days on Atkins was like coming off cigarettes. Well at the moment I still feel terrific the skin condition that i had on my hands has cleared up .. my ankles are much smaller and I jumped out of bed this morning giving my daughter a fright !! ( she has never seen anything like it !) I am decorating my bedrooms today ... I have never had the energy to do it before ....
                Thanks and good luck to you all ... Atkins is a winner in my book !!

                      Hi,

                      I'm still doing well and keeping to things ...I do feel a bit concerned about the amount of carbs in my veggies, I will see how my weight is at the end of this week ..... I think i need to cut down a bit. Just finished my fav tea fried pepper and mushrooms in butter with some tarragon and cream poured over a fried chicken breast with crispy skin ! and a side of cauliflower ( I'm still amazed at the lovely food on this diet).
                      I am on the third week of induction, on Sunday I go onto OWL.
                      I have lost 11lbs up to now.
                      A couple of questions ......
                      can we eat sugar free gum? is water melon low carb ?

                      I'm going to start looking up recipes for next week.

                      thanks again for your suport.... oh .. how do you get the weight loss bar at the bottom of your posts?
