Day 1 Induction Again

[funkychickenchica]

I was doing well since I started Atkins on Thursday. Until I realized yesterday night that I had been having throat drops. Worse off, I thought the whole time the were sugar free (I know still not legal), but they were not sugar free. I am very excited though seeing that I lost 2.5 pounds since Thursday-yes I'm a scaleaholic. So I will be starting fresh today. I also plan to take a starting picture and measurements to post. Gotta exercise too!

hey! i am also starting day 1 of induction again! i found out that asparatame was a big no no and just sparked cravings...which it did...big time...and i gave into them...another big no no. anyways, i am starting all over also. i would like to lose about 26 pounds probably by the end of august so will be right along side you in weight loss! best of luck to you!

hey, me too actually i failed to follow the "no asparatame" part of atkins which made me carb like crazy, all day today and yesterday until i was sick...uck. so tommorrow it is by the book. we can do this! we are with you every step of the way!

Something like that also happened to me. I think it is just part of the learning curve. Even with reading the book beforehand, it is still easy to screw up unintentionally as this is a new way of eating. It sounds like you were doing pretty well on induction otherwise. It is unlikely that you need to start over from scratch. If you simply drop the cough drops from your diet for the rest of induction, you should be fine. Your weight loss, so far, is already impressive.

The first 2 days I was drinking Sprite Zero until it hit me that aspartame is in it. I could have cried. =D Anyway, I got some Diet Rites and that was solved. Good luck!
