Well to start off with I'm totaly floored at the before and after pictures on this site! Some of the transformations posted up there are so amazing!
Ok on to the introduction....well let's see...where to start...
I'm 5'7.5" (the .5 counts!) and just before starting induction I was at 205 lbs. I'm 29 about to break into the 30's and after stepping up on the scale and seing that I was up to a max weight that I deemed both unhealthy and non acceptable I decided to do something about it!
I had previously had the "old mind set" of fat is bad and atkins was the devil! However after watching my father shed over 45 pounds in 4 months and starting to get back in shape I decided I would at least READ the entire book and then pass judgement.
The book was eye opening and lead to my deciding to give it a try! The first fiew days of induction were hard as I'm addicted to icecream and cookies...I use to be able ot eat them for breakfast lunch and dinner didnt matter what time it was!!! However my gf totaly supported my decision and though she does not need to loose a single pound she really helped in counting every carb I ate and cleaning up the pantry / fridge of all things that would derail me!
I'm now almost done induction (sunday nov 8th = 14th day) and I was down to 197 last sunday after week 1! I only weigh myself 1 time a week as I know weight fluctiates not only daily but during the day so a week to week is more suited to what I need to see.
I may need to go into extended induction for an extra week as I miss read and was having 2 cups of spinach instead of the 1 allowed >.<
Other than that 8+ 8oz glasses of water a day, Taking a Mens multy vitamine that has no Iron, and taking fiber once a day untill things "go more smooth" so to say!
Look forward to posting before and after pics and getting allot of good info from this comunity
