1st week

[aerosmithgirl]

Hey Sillygirl and Bradybunchmom and others; thanks for the advise on not eating the
adkins bars and sticking to real food. I actually tried one of those low carb soups that
I made, stayed away from prepared foods and lost 3 pounds this week. Cant believe it,
because I actually ate fruit this week but did eat healthy food choices. When my famil
was eating cheeseburgers, I eat fish. I will have to make dessert soon for a party, and
I was watching this low carb show and I think I can cook with soy flour.Keep you posted.

Fruit? What kind of fruit did you have? Fruit is not allowed during the induction phase, as it is further up the food rungs (Rung 4) and then it's only berries.

You can have cheeseburgers with your family, in fact you can have 2 of them if you wanted. Just don't eat the bun!

Great job on fresh food and 3 pounds gone!

Here's a link to the food rungs FOOD LADDER

Sillygirl...wow am I confused. Thanks so much for that food ladder link. I basically went
on what my sister said that has done Adkins. The first two weeks I thought was induction, then I thought you could add fruit. I didnt know anything about this rung stages. I made sure to eat low glycemic fruit though, I bought a bag of berries which had
strawberries, blueberries, raspberries and blackberrys and had a small portion of it with
whipped cream, yum. I will have to go to the library, I think I need to read the book.
Thanks for setting me straight.

My pleasure! I want to make sure you're doing this the Atkins way, not the Sister way!

Lost 5 more pounds, another 5 pounds till goal. Going veryyyy, slowly now. Hope
everyone is doing well.
