Glad to hear you are doing well

I just filled a huge box to overflowing with clothes that I can't wear anymore. I've done that before, but this is the first time I could label the box "TOO BIG"!!! Feels pretty darn good

Hi and welcome -

I hope you have a copy of the 2002 DANDR book - it's what we follow here. If you don't have a copy of the book it's a good idea to get one and read it so you know the plan and follow it correctly. Make sure you drink 64 ounces of pure water daily (nothing added) and keep up your exercise.

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.

Way to go, Andrea!

Getting into a smaller size is the greatest feeling in the world so don't stop now. You're off to a great start!!!
