Is anyone else in the same boat? If so, what'd you do? ... lol[/quote]

Don't worry about the cost of buying meat too much. After the first few days, you lose your food cravings and become full faster. At least fresh vegetables are inexpensive. I am a new member here, but I did Atkins for a long time a few years ago. I am currently on the induction phase, too. My appetite seemed to diminish all at once the evening of day 3. I've heard it takes anywhere from 3 days to about a week for the appetite reduction to occur, but it does occur!! You will then eat less and spend less buying that food because you are eating less.

Good luck!
