First timer here - glad to have found this site.
Hi there,
I am a first timer on this plan.
I have been on the induction for 9 days and have lost 2.6 kg (5 and half lbs) so am feeling positive.
I am a Brit living out in Taiwan so I have my own special difficulties with label reading etc. as everything is in chinese!! 
I am having to stick to just plain meat (pork, beef and chicken) and fresh green veggies. I have found Kraft Mayo in some of the shops tho, which is a godsend. I am also getting acquainted with tofu as a source of protein, that is something that is plentiful and cheap here!!
Cheese on the other hand is very expensive, as the Chinese do not really have a big dairy intake in their traditional diet. I am really learning to appreciate a tasty piece of Emmental or a tangy slice of cheddar. Butter is available, but only unsalted and therefore a little bland.
But all in all, I am going to crack this diet!!
I have ordered some Advantage bars from E-bay and am treating myself to one every other day. 
So I just wanted to drop in and say "Hi".
Ooh, I nearly forgot, if anyone has any soybean recipes that work for Atkins, could they point me in the right direction? I had a quick search but couldn't find much.
That's it, over and out!!
