Welcome backtomine. Contribute any time. Sharing is always good - even if it is not always wisdom. We all need to hear from other people in our situation.

Welcome!!!! I can guarantee you, if you read the book, follow it, post questions that yo umight have, and do this...you will be a PRO in no time.

It becomes very second nature. Also, don't be afraid to use the search engines if you are curious about something. I have found that you can get TONS of info from those who answered previous questions. I learned a LOT this way.

Again welcome! See ya around the board!

Hi and welcome to ADBB - glad you finally decided to say hello. A little info to help get you started:

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 - http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/atkins-diet-14-day-induction/5781-before-you-begin-atkins-nutritional-approach.html.

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.
