Welcome to the ADBB!!

Do you have the 2002 edition of the New Atkins Diet Revolution? It's our bible on the board and it's a must read!

Good luck to you!

Hi and welcome --

As Nyna said above, we follow the 2002 DANDR book. 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

The plan works, check the Before and After section: Before And After Pics - Atkins Diet. Make sure you are only eating foods listed on the acceptable food list, exercising, taking a multivitamin and aren't cheating here and there for best results.

Make sure you drink a minimum of 64 ounces of pure water (nothing added).
Check all around the board for everything there is to, there is a challenge section with both exercise and non exercise challenges, Rate My Menu for help with your food, journaling – something for everyone.

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”).

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