starting KISS tomorrow and excited!

[lowcarbcat]

Hi Everyone,
I am excited to be getting back on the low carb way of life and have my start day scheduled for tomorrow.
Any tips on how to get through the first rough days? I am scared to cravings will get the best of me.

Thanks,
low carb cat

Welcome!

My tip would be to eat only from the Acceptable Foods for Induction, drink all your water, and PLAN.

Welcome to the Atkins Board.

What is KISS?

Glad you found the board and are excited about starting the plan. First of all, Atkins is not a "diet" or a way to loose "a few pounds"...it's a way of eating over a lifetime. Make sure you read the book - it will give you the knowledge you need to get to your goal. If you can’t find a copy of the 2002 Dr Atkins New Diet Revolution (DANDR) locally check online at www.half.com or www.amazon.com. Eat only foods listed on the acceptable food list and eat a variety of foods and vegetables. (Atkins Diet Induction FAQs) http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/atkins-diet-14-day-induction/77558-atkins-diet-induction-faqs.html.

A few more 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. Also, start a journal, it's a great place to get everything out in the open, be accountable to yourself - you'll also meet some great people there! http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.c...journal-chats/

To make sure you don’t become bored by eating the same thing over and over look at these wonderful recipe sites – we have such great choices for menu ideas, eat a variety of things:

>> What is KISS?>>

Keep It Simple, Sweetie, Stupid ... or whatever other S word you have!

It can be defined in various ways ... I've seen it as no dairy, no processed foods, no sweeteners ... in other words, eating "clean".

Amazing....and to think I just call it "Atkins"....LOL

Re: starting KISS tomorrow and excited!

Well ... Atkins allows dairy and sweeteners ... and processed foods aren't forbidden.

So ... KISS is actually "stricter" Atkins ...

Re: starting KISS tomorrow and excited!

OOOHHHhhh...SO KISS is actually an eating plan. Never heard of it.

Just googled it "KEEP IT SIMPLE and SUCCEED."

Re: starting KISS tomorrow and excited!

I use KISS alot [hadn't heard it as a diet] - mine meaning KEEP IT SIMPLE STUPID, don't overthink it - makes life easier!

I think you should just follow the plan the best you can. Be prepared, plan ahead and you will get thru. It's really not difficult if you are prepared.

Believe in yourself.
