Inroduction

[nina79]

Hi I'm Nina from the uk.
I'm 30 ys old and currently weigh 58kg (128 pounds) I'm 5 2 and would like to be about 116-118 pounds.
Am on week 2 of induction but at this rate looks like i'm in it for a good many weeks yet. Like many I've tried a number of diets but am hopoing this will be the one that makes the difference!

Hi and welcome to ADBB.

You don't have much weight to loose so it would be best to go from induction right up the rungs...if you don't you won't have enough time to go up the rungs properly and find the foods that work and the ones you should stay away from.

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

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.

It sounds like you plan to diet for a few weeks then...? Do you plan to quit when you reach goal? I may be misinterpreting your post... I hope that you realize that you will have to work hard after you reach goal to keep it off...otherwise you are essentially yo-yo dieting...

Hi
No just mean't taht I'd be on the induction phase for many weeks (beyond the 2 weeks) that's all. I've realised over the past 4 years that i can no longer eat what i want anymore and that the weight creeps on much quicker than it goes away

Re: Inroduction

Like I said before you only have a few pounds to loose so it's best to go from your 2 week induction on to OWL. Ongoing Weight Loss (OWL) - Atkins Diet
