Re: hello

Hi and welcome to ADBB Owly.

We follow the 2002 Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution (DANDR). At the top of the induction page you’ll find a condenced version of the book - (Atkins Diet Induction FAQs)(Atkins Diet Induction FAQs)http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/atkins-diet-14-day-induction/77558-atkins-diet-induction-faqs.html. Even through the stickies are a good start they don’t detail the entire program, so that’s why we suggest you have the book to follow.

*take your measurements and get on the scale so you have accurate numbers to start with - don't weigh again until the end of your 2 week induction.
*Eat a variety of meats, cheeses and vegetables. Also make sure you get your fats, carbs and protein in daily – www.fitday.com will help you keep track of this.
*Drink 64 ounces of pure water -nothing added daily (Legal water is considered Filtered water, Mineral water, Spring water and Tap water).
*Take your supplements and start an exercise routine today.

The Atkins shakes and bars (as well as other brand names of these products) are not legal on induction – there are non-induction ingredients in them and they are not listed on the acceptable food list. Also foods containing aspartame are not allowed as they have been found to slow weight loss in Dr. Atkins patients (and also on many people here on this site).

If a food isn’t listed on the acceptable food list it doesn’t belong in your mouth – no exceptions! Look at the ingredients list and check it against the acceptable food list -- just because it says "low carb" doesn't mean you can eat it. Count "net carbs" not whole carbs (carb minus fiber = net carbs).

The recipe sites are a helpful meal planning tool – just make sure you use Induction Recipes to begin with.

Re: hello

hi everyone - thank-you so much for the warm reply - i bought the Dr A New Diet Revolution book 3.5 weeks ago and it blew me away. So much made sense. So right now i guess i am on extended induction. Giving up milk in my tea and decaff coffee has been so hard. i also miss fruit very much. But i feel good!
