new too

[wearin shades]

Read the book 15 years ago when my daughter was diagnosed type 1 diabetic. Now I'm in my 50's and cant seem to keep weight down like usual. I'm on day two and see that I should re read book. I ate a large salad with mayo, lettuce, onion, peas, chopped almonds, hard boiled egg and baco's. This may be harder than I thought.

Hi and welcome to the 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. (www.amazon.com or www.half.com have inexpensive copies . At the top of the induction page you’ll find a condensed version of the book - (Atkins Diet Induction FAQs)http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/atkins-diet-14-day-induction/77558-atkins-diet-induction-faqs.html. If you have the correct information it's not hard at all -- as a matter after a few days you'll wonder why you weren't eating this way before now!!

Make a copy of this list (What foods can be eaten on Induction?)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”).

Make sure you drink a minimum of 64 ounces of pure water (nothing added), exercise starting today and taking a multi-vitamin without iron (you should get enough iron with the foods you are eating on Atkins).

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

Re: new too

There is a new book now - the one we use for this board is the 2002 version. Dr Atkins New Diet Revolution (DANDR) And yes you need to review the rules. ASAP
No nuts - no peas

Good luck - I am getting closer to the big 5-0 so I know what you mean about weight being harder to move.

Re: new too

Yeah, Bacos (the fake bacon ones) and peas and nuts are not allowed in Induction phase. You really need the 2002 book.

Re: new too

You guys rock! I never expected a reply. Thank you for caring enough to answer. I have lost weight in spite of mistakes. I think because I have gone from eating a cabillion carbs to 30 or so. I'll download the book to Kindle and keep it handy. Again, thank you.
