Hey Ryan and welcome to the group. Have you read the book yet? If not, skim some of the posts of people during induction so you know what to prepare for. You'll go through a few days of feeling like dirt and come out the other side feeling like a million bucks! It's so worth it!

If you have any questions, there are a ton of people here ready and willing to answer them. Congrats on your decision to do Atkins and I can't wait to watch your numbers fall.
