  • I'm three weeks new but just now posting

    Hello ADSD! I just wanted to post a thread to give everyone new like I was three weeks ago a bit of ENCOURAGEMENT! I started Atkins on 6/8/09 and as of 6/22/09 I have lost a solid 28lbs and my waist has gone from a 48" to 46". I have followed the induction with a slight variation and the weight is flying off. As of now, I have changed my morning eating habits but i am still pretty much doing the same thing daily. For the 1st three weeks my breakfast was ,4 slices of turkey bacon and 4 boiled egg whites,mid day snack was, a couple of hands of almonds;lunch was steamed veggies and a couple peices of baked fish or chicken; afternoon snack was 2 slices of mild chedder cheese; and dinner was 2 peices of baked chicken or fish and some veggies. My body felt full of energy and did not even want the other(fatty foods). Now I eat all fruits before lunch, the same lunch from the induction stage, almonds for the afternoon snack, and the same dinner from the induction stage. i feel great. Eating like this is helping my body natually get the weight it should be and I will workout and get in shape to do the rest. I just wanted to offer a bit of help to someone who may need need it to let you know that this does work.

    I am trying to figure out what ADSD stands for
    Here are my thoughts

    Atkins Diet Special Debaters

    Anyways welcome. How come you're not following the diet as written?

      Sorry for the rushed typing job I meant to type ADBB. Thanks for the welcome! I added in some high water content foods(veggies and friuts, and eating them at certain times of the day and properly combining them helps the food digest and eliminate) that were eaten in Biblical days by humans whose bodies were in excellent shape. Not trying to steer anyone off Adkins, but I did want to share with others whom the strait induction was kicking their butts.

        Happy this worked for you BSF, but for the sake of other newbies reading, I need to steer things back. We go by the 2002 DANDR book on this site, so be advised that bigsix's plan could have an entirely detrimental effect to someone else. The foods added may start cravings, may stall you, and are not as recommended by this site.

        It's not about the results. Its about the process.

            Maybe this is the South Beach Diet you're doing? We do stick to the Atkins diet here> a But I agree with Sham if it works for you that is great.

              If I was you I would be eating every night at central BBQ in midtown, Their pulled BBQ and dry ribs and/or chicken is great for us low carbers. I have worked in Memphis a lot and found central to be the best BBQ place I have ever tried and I have tried a lot of them.But If I ate fruit I would find my appetite to roaring back.

                  I agree with Jill -- there are a small group of people who welcome all the newbies each day -- we tell them about the good book (DANDR) and are here to answer quesitons when they stall or think they are stalling....a lot of times we hear they are eating things not allowed on induction so when someone like you comes along and posts they are doing "their own version" it sets us back again.

                  Congratulations to you for loosing weight BUT please don't say you are following Dr. Atkins plan because you aren't.....if and when you stall please remember the plan was written, and should be followed as written for a reason - it is what worked for a large percentage of Dr. Atkins patients. The book has been a lifesaver for many of us because we read it and followed it as written.
