Hello All!
I am very excited this time around doing the atkins diet. I have started and stopped so many times and recently had a relapse...I have been on induction for about 12 days now and I have lost about 6lbs so far. I was just about ready to give up and resort to a calorie restricted diet.
I knew in my heart that it wouldnt work and rather than carry a one night binge on for weeks I decided to jump back on the diet the very next day. I am so happy I did!! 
One of the great things Ive noticed so far is I am much more happier, energic,focused, and organized in all aspects of my life. My sugar levels also seem to be stable. The day I binged I realized the harmful affect of sugar which really was an eye opener for me. I went from one cookie to 3 or 4 that lead to a huge bowl of my daughter's captain crunch and from that a fun size baby ruth...I was on a roll!! The spike of sugar made me crave more whereas eating low carb keeps me satisfied, less hungry, and comfortable. My cravings have subsided for the most part, and I am really exploring the diet in full detail. I purchased a couple of LC cook books and it has been a great help in building variety for the week. I am feeling more than great this time around and I have made a goal to look for guidance and motivation whenever Im having a tough time or just to encourage my efforts. I am so happy I found this place a while back, and look foward to reading and sharing this life experience.
Im not sure how this goes, but Ive notice alot of people have there stats posted...I want to join in!
