Worked great the first time

[hardbody]

Hi there,

This is the best diet I've ever been on. It worked great 7 years ago, but having slower results this time around. Starting week 4 now and lost about 4 lbs so far. All that the first week though. Have gotten off just a bit with drinking and a few edible carbs, but I exercise like crazy too! When I drink, it is vodka/diet coke or rum and diet. Sometimes wine.

You do not have a lot to lose so it will likely be slower. And seven years are alot of things. Alcohol is something Atkins suggest not having in induction.

Thanks. I know alcohol is a no no, but it's very hard to resist when I go out with my friends or a date. I'm fine at home, but I go out at least 2 to 3 times a week. Seems like every time I decide to diet some event comes up.

Welcome to ADBB. You need to set your own priorities but by having the alcohol, you are more likely to indulge in a few carbs here and there and before long you are way off track. Something to consider.

Order club soda, iced tea.

You can still have a good time.

Then make Atkins a life style.

Things will be better if you're in control rather than outside events ... or what you think other people expect of you.

Welcome to ADBB!

Starting week 4 now

Why are you extending your Induction? Do you plan to do Induction until you reach your goal?
