First timer :)

[Rae-84]

Hi everyone!

This is my first time trying the atkins diet and so far im doing great. Im on day6 now and not missing carbs at all.

I put on alot of weight whilst i was pregnant (about 50lbs)!!!! I hated my post baby body and turned to food for comfort which has only made things worse. Since having my little boy in Nov08 ive piled on another 21lbs.
Ive tried other diets in the past but have never last more than a few days. Im finding atkins really easy and dont feel like im on a "diet" at all.

So....im ready for a change. Im feeling positive and im ready to get my life back on track.
Best of luck everyone, speak to you soon.

Hi and welcome to ADBB.

Congratulations on your loss this far!!! 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.
