Hi everyone. My name is Jenny, and I am 38 years old. I am married and a mother of two. I am really excited to begin this journey. I am currently on day two of the induction, and I feel as if I have been hit by a truck! I know the results in the end will be well worth it, but getting through this phase is pretty rough for me right now. I would like to lose around 60 pounds. I can't believe I let myself get to this point, but I am ready to end this cycle. Thank you all in advance for your support, and I am ready to give all of the support that I can! Good luck fellow newbies!! Lets do this!!!

Welcome!
Other than feeling like you've been hit by a truck, what's "pretty rough" for you? Maybe we can help.J.

Re: Hi, my name is Jenny and I am a carb addict!
Haha! Thank you very much for your offer of help. Mainly just the feeling of being hit by a truck! I am wondering about how long this "yucky" feeling lasts for. I can handle anything temporarily. I do understand that this is probably withdrawls. Food wise, I am doing really well. I was very hungry all day yesterday, however; today I have noticed that I am not as hungry, and that alone is wonderful!Comment

Until it's over!
Seriously, there's no set time ... for some people it's a couple of days, for some, longer.
>>today I have noticed that I am not as hungry>>
Don't forget to eat though.
Undereating is counterproductive with Atkins.
Make sure you're getting all your water and all your vegetables ... that can help with the "hit by a truck" feeling.J.

Do you mean the Atkins co website?Originally posted by jjs1971 View Post
The Atkins co website is going to give you information that conflicts with
Dr. Atkins in Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution, 2002 ed. such as using Atkins bars and Atkins drinks on Induction. They try to promote Atkins products so that they can make money.
Try these links instead.
Some links to read (not meant to take the place of reading the book):

Re: Hi, my name is Jenny and I am a carb addict!
Thank you for the info.! Very helpful! I was on the Atkins Co. web site. Fortunately I have not had the shakes or bars yet. I have had eggs for breakfast both days, some unsalted nuts (very few) and salads for lunch. Tonight I am having pork chops and asparagus. I will check out those sites before though. Thank you so much.Comment

Re: Hi, my name is Jenny and I am a carb addict!
No nuts until Rung 3...the rungs are the different steps you add foods back in later.
If the food is not on the list of Acceptable Inductions Food, don't eat it:

Not the best place, ironically, to get all your information.
Their list of Induction foods is inaccurate.
Use:
instead.
