Atkins Day 4

[ChevelleDUDE]

I am proud to say finally that I did not go over the 20 limit carb intake. I got all my carbs from delicious vegetables and I have been following the Atkins Way of Eating more and more each day. I already feel better and less fatigued. I can't wait to weigh myself but I am going to wait until after induction because I want to concentrate on changing my eating habits rather than measuring all the weight that I can lose. I still need to focus on getting enough water intake, so that is my new goal is to get at least the 64 ounces of water each day. I am still having some minor sugar fits but they are not as bad nor as strong as they were for the first couple of days I changed my eating habits. If it wasn't for this site I would have set myself up for failure from day one. So thank you everybody for all the support and for giving me the strength and confidence!

Good for you, Chevelle! I have to about your binge Day One I wasn't sure if you would stick it out, but you have managed to figure it out and I am really glad you are feeling better and missing the sugar less and less.

I find the water is really important. If I don't get enough (for me thats at least 90 ounces a day) I don't lose nearly as quickly. Don't force it too much, just keep sipping away, and over the course of a week or so your water consumption will rise naturally. Seems like the more you drink the more you want. I also squeezed a dash of lemon or lime in for flavor once in awhile, too. Sounds like you are really on your way now!
