Hello from Canada

[Zumbagirl]

Hi! I am a European woman living in Canada. I am new here on this site, but not new to Atkins. I started that in the beginning of 2009, lost 23 lbs but then somehow I didn't follow the diet. I am back now, I started induction today. This is gonna be hard...

Morning from Quebec It always difficult to start a new way of healthy eating but the outcome feels so good. Keep in touch

Hi and welcome back –

The program isn't hard....and if you follow it you'll find it's easy to eat this way and it's much better for your health! There are plenty of people from all over Europe on this board, so you should be able to find many friends.

Don’t compare what you lost or how you did “the last time” your body and lifestyle isn’t the same as last time – follow the plan the way it is written, exercise, drink plenty of pure water (64 ounces minimum daily – nothing added) and you’ll be on your way to loosing before you know it.

At the top of the induction page you’ll find a condensed version of the book - (Atkins Diet Induction FAQs)http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/atkins-diet-14-day-induction/77558-atkins-diet-induction-faqs.html. Make a copy of this list (What foods can be eaten on Induction?)http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/atkins-low-carb-dieting-faqs/6781-what-foods-can-eaten-induction.html and take it with you when you go to the store. If a food isn’t listed on the acceptable food list don’t eat it. Learn to read the label on all foods you buy - don’t just look at the “carb” number look at the ingredients list of everything and check the ingredients against your list. Just because it says "low carb" doesn't mean you can eat it. Also check for hidden sugars (learn the names used in place of the word “sugar”).


Check the STAC Second Time Around Club - Atkins Diet for additional support. Check the stickies at the top of the induction forum to refresh your memory on the plan. (BEFORE you begin the Atkins Nutritional Approach...)http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/atkins-diet-14-day-induction/5781-before-you-begin-atkins-nutritional-approach.html.

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

Hi I am European living in Canada too.

Hi there fellow Canadian!

Welcome to the board! I'm a relative newbie here myself.

Wanted to wish you luck - it's a lifestyle change to be sure, but it's worth it!

[Zumbagirl]

Thanks for the warm welcome, everyone
