Default Re: Heart to heart: Confessions of a Newbie Struggling with induction

Hi All,

I am on day 4 of a squeeky clean induction, I read the book in greater detail and once I started taking Vitamin supplements things improved, I am even able to do most of my really tough gym work out but my stamina is not up to normal yet as i am unable to run for 50 min as I used to before Atkins, but from reading posts and book I hear at about the 2 week mark my strength will come back in full. I found drinking lots of water up to 5 liters a day helped and I even managed to go out to dinner with friends and to a children's party which are big weaknesses for me normally but did not cheat!!! L-glutamine for sugar cravings turned out to be a real life saver . I also found out increase fat intake slightly by frying my chicken made the difference. I can finally see light at the end of the tunnel!!! I can actually see my body changing before my eyes it is wonderful . Unfortunately I have not weighed or measured myself at all I should do that very soon, I aim to go and buy a scale and a tape measure tommorrow. So I can motivate myself further

Thanks for the support
