Started Today

Hey guys, I am planning to go on the Atkins diet for 2 weeks after having recommendations from friends who both lost between 10 & 12lbs in a fortnight.

My plan, as above, is to initially go for 2 weeks and see what effects it has, and mainly to see if I can go without toast and cereals for that long!!

My main concern is what meal to have, what I can have as a snack etc.......

I am a rep so am on the road all day everyday so it's hard to source food that isn't sandwiches, burgers.....etc.............

My main aim is to lose a 1.5 - 2 stone but not all just on the atkins.

I started this morning and have already messed up by having baked beans with my bacon and egg. Oops.

Hi Matt,
It takes some planning and thinking about for sure. Do you have the list of allowed induction food?
http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.c...induction.html (What foods can be eaten on Induction?)
It is also important to read the 2002 Atkins New Diet Revolution book.

Here is a thread on snacks from not long ago. Maybe you can find some good ideas there.

And yes you can give all those things up. It is not that hard. Really

Thanks, I have just printed off the acceptable foods list so will hit the shops tomorrow.

Oh, I forgot to mention, I am 13st 12oz.

I made a snack earlier from the little suitable food for Atkins I had in my fridge: Cheese & lettuce wrapped in a slice of beef! Nicer than I thought it would be! lol
