Introduction

[AOT]

Thanks that is good advice. I have to admit I am obsessed with the scale. But I always have been. I will try to limit my weigh ins to once a week. Although I will struggle after a couple of days. Here I am in day 8 and I have only seen a 3lb loss. I am hardly eating vegetables and am truly sticking to the diet. This week I have decided to give up the coffee and diet coke. Lets see if that can make a difference. How are you doing?

You aren't really doing Atkins if you are not eating veggies. This is crucial...2 cups from the salad veggie list & 1 cup from the other veggie list. Have you read the book? The 2002 version of Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution is the last on Dr. Atkins wrote himself & is the one that is recommended. Here is a link that includes the veggie lists per Dr. A.
Good luck on your journey!

What foods can be eaten on Induction?

Dear beonce4u61286,

Thats very encouraging. I think I will try that too. Make it anniversary weigh ins. Thanks you really are supportive. It helps.

Dear Oz Lover,

Thank you too for your comment. I have read the 2002 edition of Atkins and also the one prior. I pretty much know the book inside and out. its just that with my other attempts at Atkins seems like my system has slowed down. i used to do the diet to a "T" and in the first two weeks I could lose 10 lbs. Now I can't seem to lose much at all so I was giving up the veggies as Dr. Atkins describes in the weight loss resistance chapter. But doesn't seem to be working either. i think I will start eating more veggies anyway I love them so its hard to give up both veggies and fruits. Its hard to know what to do anymore. I think this support group is great and really helps. Thanks again for your comments! I see you have made great progress. Great job!
