Welcome aboard Chivon. Glad to see that you are not giving into the starting after the holiday excuse.

My advice -
Never go more than 6 waking hours without eating
Have prepared legal snacks available to you
If you get bored in induction after the 2 weeks, move up the rungs
Measure your body since the scale will not always show a weight loss
Water..Water..Water - drink lots of it
Read the 2002 version of the book if you haven't already


Good luck!!

Welcome Chivon....Great advice Debie....
Chivon, you can do it, dial it up and get your game on!

Thanks Jess!! I am trying today was a new day so far so good cant wait to reap my rewards in poundage!! LOL!!

[Outback Jess]

The rewards are real, but they take time, or they come when your body adjusts to Atkins. For all of us, that could be different. Keep your eyes on building a consistent way of eating and exercise and let the results come in their own due time. If it's only about results and not a life style, when the weight is off, you will revert right back to the old way and weight climbs back on faster than you think!
Lifestyle, it's the mantra I am trying to nail in my life.!

[Misshunter28]

Yes thats true not just another quick fix but a way of life becomes easier to dedicate yourself to.I need to tell myself daily that ATKINS is who i am NOT HERSHYS!

Hi Chivon! I recently returned too!

I have 2 boys at home: a 3 year old and a 17 year old. It's soooo hard to keep out of the snacks when I buy it for them, so I've picked up induction legit stuff like pork rinds and carb free pepperoni slices because both boys will eat it, and I can snack on it too without guilt. Oh, and I get stuff for the toddler that I don't really care for - like marshmallows. Yik. :P That way I don't feel tempted to snack on them when he wants "real sugar".

Thanks cory!! My boys will not eat pork rinds..i have been buying more fruits and veggies snacks for them. I never really buy chips.. but its the cookies here and there that typically get me lol.So what i have started doing is buying them as needed i will have hubby get them their snacks on the days needed.So this way they are not around the house until i know i am over it fully.
