[more_fro]

I am starting my diet tomorrow, was meant to start today but I did not prepare my kitchen well! I would like to loose 30lbs but also maintain after that..I know Atkins is meant to be for a lifetime! I joined the gym as well and happy ....I hope I will see change by end of february!

I also bought a fibre to help me go to the loo, I wonder if its ok to have fibre?

Good luck every1!

Hi there,

Welcome to ADBB and good luck with induction.

What kind of fibre did you get? Dr Atkins recommends only psyllium husks. You might want to avoid taking any extra stuff until it is needs - you might be alright, especially if you drink enough water.

It took me 2weeks (induction phase ) i believe most of the weight was water.

Another in the UK. (waves at you)

I had no problems going to the loo. In fact, my problem was quite the opposite - but then I was detoxing from cigarettes AND sugars AND the negative effects of all the carbs I consumed.

Hang in there... keep going.

Hi fellow Atkineers from the UK. I'm coming to the end of my first week and am looking forward to a weigh in tomorrow. I haven't found it too difficult as i've done it before and knew what to expect. I think this is a great site but struggle somewhat with finding all relevant posts as the site is so huge!

Can I just ask what supplements you are taking. Last time I did Atkins (then was stupid enough to go back to my old eating ways) i'm sure I found a post on this site about what to get from Holland and Barrett. I think the best multivitimin was 'ABC Plus Senior' as this was closest to the Atkins multivits that the American guys can buy. I also bought psyllium husks (that dont seem to make much difference) and I bought something else.....but for the life of me I can't think what it is???

Hey! I use Boots own' evening primrose oil and multi vit combination (they come in a silver tub with a yellow label and are usually on 3 for 2) and I take a Berroca (either the effervescent drink or a tablet). Both have no sugar whatsoever or iron and both are fab!

Good luck!

Hi Ladybeththany,

You might want to re-think Berocca, I am no expert but I am pretty sure on Induction you can't have

Aspatarme, sucrose or lactose all of which are in Berrocca!

More exerienced members would know more

And I did think that everything ending in "ose" was sugar of some sort or another

Ciao xx


Effervescent Berocca tablets contain sweeteners and sugar, although the sugar present is a very small amount (sucrose - 0.13% of the tablet). The effervescent tablets contain 276.45mg mannitol, 20mg acesulfame, 25mg aspartame and 6mg sucrose. Film-coated Berocca tablets contain 25.45mg mannitol, 13.44mg polydextrose and 94.3mg lactose.
