Keiana is on a distinguished road
Red face New to forum and atkins diet

Hi everyone

I'm Keiana and I'm new to the forum as well as the Atkins diet. I am currently on the induction program but the menu/recipe puzzles me.

I've noticed that the recipe includes up to 8 eggs for breakfast - is this for 1 person or for 2? Isn't 8 eggs a little too much?

I'm hoping that I will lose weight and not gain with the amount that I have to consume per day...!!!

I will also start exercising on the threadmill to start off with since I have been a couch potato for a while now

Well, any helpful advice will be appreciated!!

Thank you

In general, recipes have 2 eggs per serving. So with 8 eggs, it's probably for 4 persons.

The best advice I can give you is to read the book (Dr. Atkins' New Diet Revolution, ed. 2002). I'm not sure if you can find the book in Kuala Lumpur though, so an alternative would be to read the sticky threads on ADBB. Here's where you can start: http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.c...-new-read.html (If you are NEW, READ THIS!)

Welcome to the Board.

Imagine that you're doing great, losing weight, feeling better than ever, thrilled with yourself, hearing compliments from friends and acquaintances---and then it happens! Despite all your good intentions, you're mightily tempted by a food you're not supposed to have. What to do? I'll tell you this: You'd better have a strategy ready!"

Welcome to the board, Keiana!

I'm not sure what recipe you're referring to, but 8 eggs is for more than one person. The rule of thumb is to eat until you are full but not stuffed.

Don't worry, you will soon get the idea of what to eat and you'll find out through experimenting what you like and how much you need to eat. Be sure and check out the recipe section for great meal and snack ideas!
