Re: windrush39

Hey windrush, I'm new too. 5th day of induction, just starting to get used to it today.With some decent exercise and sticking to our plan, I know we can do it. We'll be looking back at ourselves when we started and say "I'm so glad I changed my life"!!!!

I haven't fully read the book yet because I don't have it yet... so I'm still a tad bit unsure of myself. I know I'm doing a pretty decent job of getting my 20 carbs in, but I'm so used to low fat eating, I kinda second guess what I'm doing. Thousands of people can't be wrong tho, right?

Stick to it windrush, I know I am going to

Re: windrush39

Oh, and the number one thing I've been told is beware of hidden carbs... the labels lie as they say. I'm sticking to the foods on the induction list and ONLY those foods just to be sure I'm making the most out of this. Good Luck!!

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 just staying under 20 carbs a day isn't the correct way to follow Atkins. http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/atkins-low-carb-dieting-faqs/6781-what-foods-can-eaten-induction.html Eat 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.

>>i didnt now i could eat sausages or burgers on induction? i>>

A lot of sausages in England don't have Induction friendly ingredients. Rusk is not Induction friendly.

>>how big is a cup?is it a teacup size>>

A "cup" is a measurement ... generally of volume.

Do you have clear glass "cups" with red lines? That's a measuring cup.
