Welcome to ADBB!

I'm staying low carb. but not staying under the 20 grams

Atkins Induction is not more than 20 net carbs. Did you already moved to OWL? How many net carbs are you eating?

Welcome to the Atkins Board.

If you haven't already, read the 2002 Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution (DANDR). Make sure you drink a minimum of 64 ounces of pure water (nothing added), exercise starting today and take a multi-vitamin. As Georgiana said above, induction is no more than 20 carbs daily.

The recipe sites will help keep you from eating the same thing over and over -- check them out! Don't forget to eat enough vegetables (check the acceptable food list http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/atkins-low-carb-dieting-faqs/6781-what-foods-can-eaten-induction.html) - eat enough vegetables - 2 cups from the first list and 1 cup from the 2nd list daily. Many of us use www.Fitday.com to track our food so we know what our carb totals are for the day. It's important you know what you are eating and how many carbs you are taking in each day.

Hi Tracee. How much weight are you trying to lose, and how much have you lost so far?

You may want to share what you're eating that is causing you to consume more that the allowed carbs. Others may be able to offer subsitutions or revised recipes to help you follow the Atkins guidelines.

I'm sure you'll do great.
