Returning to Atkins

[mayoi]

Hi, I'm new here and glad to have found this message board. I'm returning to Atkins for the second time and am currently eating at induction level. And re-reading DANDR - so much I seem to have forgotten!

Re: Returning to Atkins

hello, I'm returning to atkins as well. 4 1/2 years ago I lost 80 lbs doing atkins and got pregnant with my daughter a short time later. I've let the weight come back and I've read the book and ready to commit myself to the lifestyle again. The first 3 days are always the hardest for me, after that its a breeze.

This is from the "Read before you start" post

Be sure to drink a minimum of 64 ounces of water each day, including:
Filtered water
Mineral water
Spring water
Tap water

Additionally (after your 64 ounces daily), you can have the following:

Clear broth/bouillon (not all brands; read the label)
Club soda
Cream, heavy or light (limit to two to three tablespoons a day; note carb content)
Decaffeinated coffee or tea*
Diet soda made with sucralose (Splenda); be sure to count the carbs (may cause a stall in weight loss)
Essence-flavored seltzer (must say "no calories" and should not contain aspartame)
Herb tea (without barley or any fruit sugar added)
Lemon juice or lime juice (note that each contains 2.8 grams carbohydrate per ounce); limit to two to three tablespoons

Re: Returning to Atkins

Welcome to the board, Mayoi and Ashley!

Since you've both done Atkins before, you should check out the Second Time Around Club, STAC, forum. The daily roll call helps to start you off in the right direction each morning.

Good luck to both of you!

Welcome. I hope the second time will be as great as the first one. Way to get back to it.

These are SO GOOD. Last time I did Atkins I had very boring food, but those recipes are so easy and contain all sorts of veggies I normally wouldn't have eaten.

Thanks as always for the links.

Re: Returning to Atkins

Welcome Mayoi! I too just restarted and am re-readind DANDR! I think it's making more sense to me now than ever after successfully doing diet in the past! Wishing you success again!
