Hello!

[Azure]

Hi everyone!

I am 26, from the UK and starting induction today, after spending like a week reading the book and all of this forum to make sure I could do it properly! I am determined to take the advice and do a clean induction.

I am 5ft 3, and currently weigh 240lbs, and I want to get down to about 140. I am going on holiday in July so it would be good to make a dent in that figure by then.

Anyway looking forward to it and getting to know you

Welcome to the board, Azure!

It sounds like you are off in the right direction! Be sure to check out the Induction section in Atkins Phases and ask any questions you may have.

Welcome!

Plan your meals for a few days so you have everything legal in your home. Linda's recipe site is very helpful with delicious recipes - it will help keep you from eating the same thing over and over -- http://www.genaw.com/lowcarb/menus.html.

The 2002 Dr Atkins New Diet Revolution (DANDR) is our guideline here on the board. Eat foods listed on the acceptable food list http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/atkins-low-carb-dieting-faqs/6781-what-foods-can-eaten-induction.html, eating a variety of foods and vegetables and count all “net carbs” (carb minus fiber equal net carbs).

Exercise, take a non-iron multivitamin and drink a minimum 64 ounces of pure water (nothing added), daily. If you need anything we try to help each other here as much as possible.
