One week on Induction and 12 Lbs Gone!

[hiphappyguy]

Hello everyone,

Started Induction last Monday 12-15-08 at 358. Happy to say have lost twelve pounds when I weighed in this morning and I'm down to 346!

I had lost considerable weight - 65 lbs- on Drs. Heller Carbohydrate Addicts plan back in 2002 prior to my wedding. My wife then was not interested in the restrictions of that diet so I went off of it and, voila, the weight came back on!

I know I am addicted to carbs because on the first night of induction, I was shaking- hungry for sugar. I kept snacking with induction approved foods (hard boiled eggs are my favorite) and got through the first couple of days.

Since then it has alllllll been downhill. I rarely think of food- that was never the case in my old high carb-low protein-low nutrition days. I do not feel as bloated- my clothes fit better already- and I can sleep through the night now.

I am so happy I do not "need" carbs (sugar, high fructose corn syrup, etc, etc) to live my life.

Thank you Doctor Atkins for telling the world this great story!

My SO asked me why I would start Induction so close to the holidays. Well, there is no better present you can give yourself (and others) than better health!

I can't wait to share more. Kisses!

Thanks for the support! Weighed myself this morning to see how I got through the holiday and I have lost an additional three pounds!

Fifteen pounds lost! Yehaw! Can't wait until my post-induction weigh in on Monday!

now that's the way to get through the holidays..15 pounds lighter. Use that inner energy and ride it through.
