Every one!! I have started induction and am 7 days in. Took your advise and reread DANDR and there were tons of changes to the 1999 copy I was using- so thanks for that. I am doing well on Induction , did have a really bad headache from 12 hrs in but on day 4 that went away. I weighed in today and have lost 3 kgs*(7lbs). I have noticed a bit of hunger so i think i am not having enough protein but that will change
I had a big debate at the grocery store today....cookies, cupcakes or a whole cake. What to do? I went with cookies and a part of me was so sad not to have a whole cake to eat as much as I wanted. I feel sick after eating garbage all day. I lost 30 lbs on atkins last year. I felt great, I got tons of compliments and I got all new clothes. It came back slowly...like it was a test to see how many carbs I could add back. Now I am heavier than ever, NONE of my clothes fit me and I am so unhappy.. Why ...
THank you for your comments-- my husband was worried about the ketones and the effect it would have on my unborn child. he did not really understand the atkins way of life, and he didn't read the book. when I told him about the comments and this website , he was very impressed and said he would support me in any way- perhaps even by joining me. I am waiting for the 2002 edition of dandr, which I ordred yesterday. my copy is 1999! what a difference in my hubby over 27 years. we all can ...

For all of us newbie's recently joining Atkins Induction don't lose heart getting on that scale. I lost quite a bit pretty fast the first 9 days, nearly 17lbs. I followed this new eating plan to a T and it was paying off but was so excited I was actually losing so quickly, I started this habit of weighing every morning. However, the weight scale turned on me, and started goin up a lb than down a lb and it became frustrating. So I kicked the habit of getting on the frustrating thing. Don't lose heart, ...
I haven't eaten any fruit since I started Atkins on the 24th January 2011, so I thought it was about time to enter the berry zone (AKA OWL 4). So I bought some strawberries and double cream, once again my friend Paul was the control (he seems to have better tolerance to carbs than I do). Strawberries: 185 grams (washed and quartered). Double Cream: 60 grams Me: Before: 5.5 - 30 minutes: 5.1 - 60 minutes: 6.0 - 90 minutes: 5.0 Paul: Before: 5.2 ...
I think my body has been sulking since the winter holidays, not much of a weight loss to report in the last few weeks. So I thought I'd increase the amount of total fat I was eating to see if it would kick start some downward movement, based on the Atkins Fat Fast which allows for 1000 calories a day of which 75%-90% should be fat. As I wasn't in a stall I didn't think I'd need to go down to 1000 calories so I stuck with my BMR of 2000 calories. Last week my daily average was: 2024 ...
I filled out this pair of trouser one year ago today. Unbelievable change.
Tomorrow will be the start of my 52nd week on Atkins, it's difficult to believe how far I've come over the last year. If it hadn't been for a tech journalist called Paul Thurott talking about the Gary Taubes book 'Why we get fat' I'd never have started low carbing and found this website. It's no lie to say that without the help and support of all the good folks here, I doubt I'd have been so successful. Thank you, one and all.
I've been wondering the last few weeks why I've been feeling that I'm fatter now than I was when I started on Atkins nearly a year ago. After much puzzling over this apparent disconnect I think I've found the reason. It's to do with the clothes I'm now wearing, unlike the loose, formless garments of a year ago I'm wearing tailored shirts and tapered trousers. Clothing which actually touches the skin rather than billows out around it. Weird how your mind works isn't it.
