Atkins Shakes

[lv_girl]

Are you allowe to have the Atkins shakes during induction? Any personal experiences?

[not2late]

It's been the collective experience of ADBB that shakes, bars, etc. have a tendency to stop or slow down weight loss in some people. Since the first 14 days of Induction are very important because the results you get will help you plan the rest of your Atkins, we discourage their use during the first 14 days.

ask yourself if you want to be like the repeat Slimfast folk shedding the pounds fast but gaining them back over and over again. Use chapter 11 food lists so you can learn to eat in the real world with portion control and acceptable foods and recipes to help you morph your body to be the healthier smaller person you want to be.

Use the shake mix as flour in the later part of the plan.

thanks! i think ill save the shakes i bought for until after my induction?! and probably start all over since i drank one yesterday and today. i am on my 6th only i guess tomorrow i will start on day one again! its not hard at all for me anyways i dont even crave sweets anymore and i am not over eating anymore. iam 5'6 and weigh 155 gw is 125.

no don't start again just leep going and know your induction results might be off slightly when you use the charts for metabolic ressitance and estimated CCLL.

happy low carbing,

Also to note; bars and shakes are better than cheating when stuck in a situation (like a flight).

[2big4mysize]

actually if you had time to go buy a bar or shake for a flight you had time to buy real food for your flight too.

[CarbaholicJoe]

actually you cant always take real food on an international flight... regardless of the example; a bar can be better than cheating think you would agree

[DragonflyMoon]

Gosh, now you can't take anything, right?! My friend told me they are even banning gel bras. GEL BRAS. Can you imagine going to the airport and being told to remove your bra for the flight? Ack!

Had to laugh when I read about the "gel bra" removal at the airport!

As far as shakes go, I don't stall when I drink them, but I do stall when I have a bar. Everyone is different. I think moderation is key, just don't have the shakes or bars everyday.
