Hello Eveyone

[koldewaj]

My name is Jason I'm 6 foot 2 and #237. I started induction yesterday and its going ok. I'm looking to get down to 190 - 180. When I graduated HS it was 160 so I think its reasonable. I am going on a cruise in January with some friends.

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/atkins-diet-14-day-induction/77558-atkins-diet-induction-faqs.html. If you follow the program the way it was written - eating only food on the acceptable food list, going through the rungs of OWL (ongoing weight loss) after you finish the 2 weeks of induction, drink a minimum of 64 ounces of PURE water daily (nothing added), exercise starting today and take a good multi-vitamin you should have no trouble meeting your goal.

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. Learn to read the label on all foods you buy - 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”).

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