I love this diet!

[Mike440]

Hi all-

My name is Mike, and I just started induction on the 22nd of December. I'm already 14 pounds down and I love it. This is the first diet i've actually tried. I never bothered with one before because I knew my appetite would eventually sabotage any small progress I made on calorie restricted diets. I'm a die hard carnivore, so as soon as I read that most meat is allowed I knew I could do this easily. The only hard part will be to subdue my internal cookie monster

I was a bit confused at first about induction. I bought the book and read parts I and II before starting, then I checked online for any kind of carb list I could print off. I found an official looking Atkins carb list and also a guide to induction, so I printed them off.

The online guide contradicted the book, telling me I should be eating enough veggies to get 12-15 carbs a day worth, which for most of the ones on the list is far more than 3 cups. But then I found this forum and it steered me back to following the book, which i'm doing now.

See you around

Mike

Welcome Mike. Great to hear about your success and your attitude. You sound like you found your happy place. I love meat too and fish as well so I know this is a good Way of Eating (WOE) for me.
Yea over at the Atkins Company they have made changes. Here we stick with the 2002 edition of the book. It works and we are happy with it. (And we do not have "products" we want to sell)
