  • One week on Induction and 12 Lbs Gone!

    Hello everyone,

    Started Induction last Monday 12-15-08 at 358. Happy to say have lost twelve pounds when I weighed in this morning and I'm down to 346!

    I had lost considerable weight - 65 lbs- on Drs. Heller Carbohydrate Addicts plan back in 2002 prior to my wedding. My wife then was not interested in the restrictions of that diet so I went off of it and, voila, the weight came back on!

    I know I am addicted to carbs because on the first night of induction, I was shaking- hungry for sugar. I kept snacking with induction approved foods (hard boiled eggs are my favorite) and got through the first couple of days.

    Since then it has alllllll been downhill. I rarely think of food- that was never the case in my old high carb-low protein-low nutrition days. I do not feel as bloated- my clothes fit better already- and I can sleep through the night now.

    I am so happy I do not "need" carbs (sugar, high fructose corn syrup, etc, etc) to live my life.

    Thank you Doctor Atkins for telling the world this great story!

    My SO asked me why I would start Induction so close to the holidays. Well, there is no better present you can give yourself (and others) than better health!

    I can't wait to share more. Kisses!
    From 358 to Goal or Bust!
    Good Luck Everyone!

          now that's the way to get through the holidays..15 pounds lighter. Use that inner energy and ride it through.
