Hi everyone: Well this is it. I have to lose weight and my baby sister says this is the place to do it.
I'm scared and apprehensive. I don't want to fail AGAIN.
I will be looking for lots of support and help and I hope that is okay.

Welcome to !

When did you start Induction? How's it going so far?

If you have any questions, just post them somewhere around 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!"

Hi and welcome to ADBB. Check the stickies (information posts) at the top of the induction page - http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/atkins-diet-14-day-induction/ – it’s a condensed version of the 2002 DANDR book which is the edition we follow. It’s a good idea to get your own copy of the book for reference.


*take your measurements and get on the scale so you have accurate numbers to start with - don't weigh again until the end of.

*Eat a variety of meats, cheeses and vegetables. Also make sure you get your fats, carbs and protein in daily – www.fitday.com will help you keep track of this.


*Drink 64 ounces of pure water -nothing added daily (see info above regarding water).


*Take your supplements and start an exercise routine.



Ask questions, post often, join some challenges and have fun. Good luck.
