Re: Newbie!!

Welcome to the board, Rico! And congrats on your loss so far.

Your weight loss will slow down no matter what diet you're on but with Atkins, you won't feel hungry all the time so that makes it easier to stick to.

Just follow the diet as written ( you do have the 2002 edition of the Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution, don't you?) and it will work for you. Good luck!

Re: Newbie!!

Hi and welcome to ADBB.

We follow the 2002 Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution (DANDR) it would be a helpful for you to have a copy of the book to refer to. At the top of the induction page you’ll find a condensed version of the book - http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/spotlight-introduce-yourself/60133-if-you-new-read.html. Hopefully you will follow it for a lifetime (as it is meant to be followed) and not just until your trip!

Make a copy of this list: http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/atkins-low-carb-dieting-faqs/6781-what-foods-can-eaten-induction.html and take it with you when you go to the store.

If a food isn’t listed on the acceptable food list don’t eat it. 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. Also check for hidden sugars (learn the names used in place of the word “sugar”). We count "net carbs" (carb minus fiber = net carbs) – you can keep track of your daily food on FitDay or another program.

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