New to Atkins

[MissL]

Hey everyone, today is my first day on the atkins induction, i have never tried this before so i am quite excited but also nervous as to what to expect. I am glad to have found this site and would be grateful for any advice. I am 20 years old from the UK and am hoping to lose around 25 lbs.

Re: New to Atkins

Welcome Miss L. Word of warning-- you may have heard that people drop huge amounts of weight on Induction. If you are only looking to lose a small amount (for most of us 25 pounds qualifies as a small amount) you will probably see a more modest loss, but you will lose if you do a clean Induction. Watch out for days 2 and 3. Sometimes folks feel a little under the weather as they go through sugar detox but it will pass and you will likely feel better than ever by day 5.

Re: New to Atkins

Thanks Liv and thanks for the advice chinadoll. Yeh i guess that would make sense. I am trying to do a clean induction, although knowing there are cookies and other carb treats in the kitchen is tough. So far today i had 2 boiled eggs for breakfast. Cooked chicken strips and a red bell pepper for lunch and a piece of cheedar cheese as a snack. Going to have salmon with a salad tonight. Does this sound ok??

Re: New to Atkins

It does sound pretty good. Drink plenty of clean water to go with it. Make sure you get your 3 cups of veggies in. And that you have some oil, butter, or fat with your veggies and protein
