Starting 14 day induction today!

[tango]

Hi All!

My husband and I started the 14 day induction today. We both have about 35 lbs to loose, and have a bit of a friendly competition thing going

I had a "mock danish" for breakfast and 2 pieces of bacon. It felt pretty decadent to not be eating my usual, "nonfat yogurt" (bleh)

For lunch I packed myself a salad, and some tuna salad to put onto, of course had to toss in a few more bacon crumbles

We are going to take a 2 mile brisk walk tonight to the park, play some frisbee with my dog and son. We are trying to keep the exercise part fun for now, and not feel it has to be intense, at least as we get used to this new lifestyle.

Anyhow. I already have been reading and learning lots on this board, and am very excited to soon fit into my "skinny" clothes!!

Have a great day!

Re: Starting 14 day induction today!

My husband and I started together also. Altho he lost more in the beginning, he has a harder time staying on plan. I do most of the cooking, so he eats well when he's with me...but when he goes out for a meal - he fails. But, he is doing better than before, so still good.

It's fun to do with your partner - there for support, etc...good luck to you both!

Welcome to the Atkins Board.

I hope you’ve read the 2002 Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution (DANDR), it’s the book we follow on this bulletin board. If you haven’t until you can get a copy you’ll find a condensed version at the top of the induction - (Atkins Diet Induction FAQs)http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/atkins-diet-14-day-induction/77558-atkins-diet-induction-faqs.html.

Make sure you drink a minimum of 64 ounces of pure water (nothing added), exercise starting today and taking a multi-vitamin. 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 – there is 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”).

I love the mock danish recipe and make it quite often -- makes me feel so good to sit down to something so tasty. The recipe sites are helpful for meal planning – just make sure you use Induction Recipes to begin with.
