Come Diet with me!

[Bodd_tm]

Hi All,
Just thought I would introduce myself. I am a 30 yr old mum of two who started induction on Saturday just gone. I have the book and I am trying to figure it all out. Me and the other half are both starting the plan. So far he has lost more weight than me... aint that just typical! But 2 lbs have come off so far, so onwards and upwards. Need an online diet buddy though ... any takers?

Re: Come Diet with me!

Welcome Bodd tm! I just started Induction as well! Today though, so your a couple days farther then me! I've done Atkins many times though, so if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask!! Awesome your husband is doing it with you, mine did with me awhile back, and it helps alot to have that support thats for sure...even though they are way ahead of us... I would love the support too and to hear your ongoing success story, so I hope you keep me updated with your weight loss!

Did you give up caffeine?

Are you eating close to 20 net carbs, with over half of them coming from Induction vegetables?

Are you eating enough fat and not overeating protein?

Are you not undereating calories?

How much water are you drinking?

Re: Come Diet with me!

Welcome Bodd -- you will feel nasty for a couple days as your body changes from being fueled by carbs and being fueled by Atkins eating.....good luck to you!

Re: Come Diet with me!

Yeah I gave up caffeine too. Just happy with how its going today. Headaches appear to have shifted. I am doing well with the carb counting, following Dr Atkins to the letter. Drinking plenty of water and feeling good ...... fingers crossed. Trying not to step on the scales too often.... had lovely omelette for dinner tonight!

Re: Come Diet with me!

Hi Elizellen! Nice to see a few brits on here. Although have found it very difficult to find many shops stocking "atkins friendly" food!!! Any tips!?

Re: Come Diet with me!

Thanks Bodd!! I SO wanted a brownie tonight, I made some for my daughter and her friend, but NOPE, drank some water instead, and ate some artichoke parmesean dip with pork rinds...YUM! How's your weight loss going? Hope your feeling better too!

Re: Come Diet with me!

I'm actually feeling awesome. Ive lost 10lb so far and have been pretty ignorant of cravings past couple of days. I baken cakes with chocolate icing with my girls this weekend and wasnt a bit tempted, that could have been because Im making sure I eat before I do anything likely to tempt me, so that I feel full. For example, the cakes I baked were started just after lunch... so I wasnt likely to be tempted. Headaches are all gone, and me and the other half are really pleased with ourselves!
I do need some good ideas for recipes though. Although the other half made tea tonight, we had meatballs with cheese in the middle and a salsa made from our induction veggies! I was well impressed. How are you doing?
