My name is Brian, I just found this board on day 13 of induction.
Ive read "Atkins for life" and some south beach diet books. I'l be getting the bible today!
Anyways Im doing the plan due to a pre-diabetes condition just diagnosed by my doctor. My triglycerides are high, My cholesterol is also high @269
My doc tried the statin drugs and the side effects almos killed me. I decided to try and eat healthier but that wasnt working, I clearly had to do somthing. Someone told me about atkins and here I am. I started at 209# 38" ,today Im at 195.2 and Im wearing my size 36 relaxed clothes! My goal according to the bmi chart is 160! (who made up this chart?!!) I doubt I can get that low, Im 5'10 and med to large framed. Ive decided to go for 175. Im going to try induction for another week since Ive had no problems with the diet so far.
This plan is hard but Im finding there is life without pizza, beer and bread!
