Default Re: new to the atkins diet

It sounds like you need to read the rules and get to know the foods you are allowed to eat on induction. You are going to have to learn to read the ingredients (not just the nutrition label) and know what the different names for sugar are.

Check these links for additional help -- do you have the 2002 DANDR book? It will help more than anything because once you read it you will know what you are doing.

Check the stickies (information posts) at the top of this page http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/atkins-diet-14-day-induction/

Drink a minimum of 64 ounces of water each day, including:
Filtered water
Mineral water
Spring water
Tap water

Crystal Lite, sugar free teas, sodas, latte’s, smoothies – don’t count – PURE water is the only thing that counts toward your daily water intake. Now is the time to make changes – stop using these products. If you need a “flavor” in your water float a lemon or lime slice on top of your water

Check the recipe sites also - they are very helpful and will help make your meals so much more enjoyable.
