Re: Induction Day 2!!

Welcome to the Atkins Board.

Glad you found the board and are excited about starting the plan. First of all, Atkins is not a "diet" it's a way of eating over a lifetime. Once you learn how to eat this way you will wonder why you didn't start long before now. A few tips to help get you started: Drink a minimum 64 ounces of pure water daily (nothing added), exercise and take a non-iron multivitamin - these are mandatory with Atkins so start now and get off on the right foot.

The chocolate cravings will subside in a couple days. Try eating something opposite, like pickles when you get a craving....it helps!! The best thing is to kill out your sweet tooth as soon as possible. You'll be surprised the number of things that are naturally sweet when you eat them.


Make sure you read the book - it will give you the knowledge you need to get to your goal (2002 Dr Atkins New Diet Revolution [DANDR]), eat only the foods on the acceptable food list and eat a variety of foods and vegetables.

Good luck to you!

The bars can be stallers so if possible I would keep away from them in induduction.

If I cannot stand not having chocolate I make some whipped cream (unsweetened) and sprinkle a tad of unsweetened cocoa powder on my table spoon portion and enjoy it slowly.
Hope things are going well
