Started Induction today.

[AndrewH]

Hi, name is Andrew and I'm from Edmonton Alberta. I decided I wanted to get back into Martial Arts but realized going into a dojo with a bunch of skinny people when you are over 300lbs is a bit awkward. So I decided I wanted to lose some weight first.

Age 24
Height: 5'11"
CW: 308.2lbs
GW: 205lbs.

My goal is to first hit about 245lbs then start training.

Welcome to the Atkins Board.

Glad you found the board and are excited about starting the plan.

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 - mine was under $5.00 including shipping for a "used" copy.

Plan your meals for a fews days so you have everything in your home and you won’t be tempted to eat something not allowed. Eat only foods listed on the acceptable food list and eat a variety of foods and vegetables. http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.c...induction.html (What foods can be eaten on Induction?) (What foods can be eaten on Induction?)

Drink a minimum 64 ounces of pure water (nothing added), exercise and take a non-iron multivitamin daily. Look at the challenges to see if there is anything that interests you - 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/. There’s something for everyone here!

Check Linda's recipe site it will help keep you from eating the same thing over and over -- http://www.genaw.com/lowcarb/menus.html . If you need anything we’re here to help you!!

Good luck to you!
