welcome back -- hope you give this plan a fighting chance this time. Variety is the key to staying on plan with Atkins -- you can't eat the same thing over and over, you'll get bored and feel it doesn't work - it does work but YOU have to work at it also.
Here are some links to help get you started. Join in some challenges and journal your thoughts -- it's a great way to meet people and get the encouragement to keep going.
Good luck
Make sure you are eating induction recipes only until you are ready to move onto OWL. Exercise is not an option – it is mandatory ….. don’t say you can’t find a way and start today! Atkins bars and shakes are NOT acceptable during induction – they are made with non-induction ingredients and cause stalling in many people. Just remember - if it’s not on the acceptable food list – it doesn’t go in your mouth!

Everyone should try to avoid caffeine. Grain beverages (coffee substitutes) are not allowed. Alcoholic beverages are also not permitted during Induction; those low in carbohydrates are an option, in moderation, in later phases
