Hey

[JRS1982]

How's it going everyone. Well I did Atkins once before with good sucess but I started cheating, before I knew it I was no longer on Atkins and had gained the weight back. This Board is a great resource, I have already learned of fitday and started an account there. That is one great tool to have.

I am about 5 days into induction and have already lost 6 pounds. I find the more motivated you are to start the less you miss the carbs. Atleast for me anyways.

Re: Hey

Good work on getting yourself going again. Half the battle won right there!!!!!
It will be easier to do without some of the silly carbs you have been eating. The more healthier carbs you will eventually reintroduce.
Welcome to ADBB. Post around. Look forward to hearing more about your journey to thin.

Re: Hey

Hi JRS -- glad you found ABDD and are well on your way to kicking cravings and getting healthy! Have you read the 2002 DANDR (Dr Atkins New Diet Revolution) book? It's the book we follow here on the site - if you don't have a copy yet at least read the information on this link:

Remember - if a food isn’t listed on the acceptable food list don’t eat it. Make a copy of the the list and take it with you everywhere – make sure you don’t just look at the “carb” number look at the ingredients list of everything and check the ingredients against your list. Just because it says "low carb" doesn't mean you can eat it. We 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. (I had Texas Chili from Linda's site last night and LOVED it!!!)
