Day by Day

[Punkin0826]

Hi there,

I'm the mom of a 2 1/2 year old little girl. I've never been "skinny", however I do need to be healthier. I'm commited and after several tries on different diets, I have found that Atkins seems to be the key for me.

I take it day by day, choosing my meals carefully. My husband is supportive when needed, and keeps his distance when needed too!

I've only just begun but I am excited at the changes I will see soon.

Hi and welcome to ADBB.

I didn't see anything in the area to introduce yourself so I'll post here.

We follow the 2002 Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution (DANDR) it would be a helpful for you to have a copy of the book to refer to. At the top of the induction page you’ll find a condensed version of the book - http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/atkins-diet-14-day-induction/77558-atkins-diet-induction-faqs.html

Make a copy of this list http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/atkins-low-carb-dieting-faqs/6781-what-foods-can-eaten-induction.html and take it with you when you go to the store. If a food isn’t listed on the acceptable food list don’t eat it. Learn to read the label on all foods you buy - don’t just look at the “carb” number look at the ingredients list of everything and check the ingredients against your list. Just because it says "low carb" doesn't mean you can eat it. Also check for hidden sugars (learn the names used in place of the word “sugar”).

The recipe sites are helpful for meal planning – just make sure you use Induction Recipes to begin with.
