Good Morning Everyone. I am also new to the forum. I have over 100lbs to loose and I am looking for a buddy.. I am on the 14 day induction phase.. for people who have over 100lbs to loose the question I have is how long do most people who have that much weight to loose stay on the program? I am not sure if I am posting this in the right spot.. hope this is ok..

BTW.. I am so craving chips right now!!! lol..

Good morning Blue, mizski, lovebug and all CC'ers,
Welcome the the CC mizski and lovebug!
Lovebug, the answer to your question is yes! You will discover that this isn't a diet, it's a lifestyle, where you will make lifestyle changes for life. You will lose weight and become the healthiest you've ever been. You will also find that there are healthier alternatives to your favorite foods. As far as you craving chips, you can make some cheese crackers to help satisfy that. I'll look around for the recipe for you. It's induction friendly as well.
I stayed on induction for 4 months when I initially lost all my weight.
This is a lifetime wol (way of life).
Wishing the both of you much success.
Have a great low carb day everyone.
Sherri xo

Sherri, thank you so much for looking for the recipe it might just help my cravings... and for your response to my post.. I really appreciate it.. 4 months.. how did you know it was time to change to the next phase? I am so sorry for all the questions.. I don't really know where to look..

[Sherri]

Here's one of the recipes I found for cheese crackers-
I use a cookie sheet with parchment paper on it. It will keep them from burning and will be easy for clean up.


Small pinch of grated cheddar for each "chip"
½ tsp. onion powder
½ tsp. garlic powder

Place on non-stick cookie sheet & bake at 400º for
approximately 6 minutes until flat, hard, & crisp - not
burned! Remove with spatula & place on paper towel

(I dont use the garlic and onion powder but I do put some dryed parsley on top and some all seasoning and its great!! PERFECT snack for induction.)

Oh you're welcome!
I realized it was time for me to move onto OWL Rung 1 when my weight loss slowed. When I moved up to Rung 1, which is just 5 net carbs of more veggies, my weightloss speeded up again.
Do you have DANDR 2002? Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution? It's a must have and will help guide you in your journey. It's all I had when I lost all my weight. I didn't find this board untill a couple of years ago. I've been at it (atkins) for 5 years now.

Thanks for the recipe, yes I have the book and I read it though I didn't really understand the whole part of when to jump phases and then I really became confused when reading everyone's posts...

Hey everyone! I hope everyone is having a great low carb day! It's hot here, so I'm just trying to beat the heat! Hope everyone is doing great!
