Hello,

I am new to the forum and looking forward to getting rid of this excess baggage. Any support and helping hands I get would be greatly appreciated. I have tried every diet under the sun and none of them have been successful.

Hi and welcome to ADBB.

We follow the 2002 Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution (DANDR) book as reference on this site and recommend you purchase a copy. The stickies at the top of the Induction area are a good start they don’t detail the entire program (Atkins Diet Induction FAQs)http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/atkins-diet-14-day-induction/77558-atkins-diet-induction-faqs.html.

The recipe sites are a helpful meal planning tool – just make sure you use Induction Recipes to begin with.

*take your measurements and get on the scale so you have accurate numbers to start with - don't weigh again until the end of your 2 week induction.
*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 (Legal water is considered Filtered water, Mineral water, Spring water and Tap water).
*Take your supplements and
*do some form of exercise daily -- walking, etc..

If a food isn’t listed on the acceptable food list it doesn’t belong in your mouth – no exceptions! Look at the ingredients list and check it against the acceptable food list -- just because it says "low carb" doesn't mean you can eat it. The Atkins shakes and bars (as well as other brand names of these products) are not legal on induction – there are non-induction ingredients in them and they are not listed on the acceptable food list.

If you need anything we’re here to help you!! Good luck.
