Droppin' the pounds to get back to running...

[pacerboy4]

I've been as high as 260 before and lost 50 pounds as well has took up running....I've completed 14 half marathons and run in 4 (only completing 2) full maratons. Since a foot injury which prevented me from finishing my last marathon in October plus the stress of a new job I've managed to work my weight back up to 252. I started back on the induction on August 16th. I've had a rough go of it the last 5 days, but having done this before I know what is coming and that it will soon be better.

I hope to get to know you all soon!

Welcome to the board.

That's some impressive running!! Were you doing atkins the first time or is this your first go around with atkins?

Anyway, Good luck, and nice to have you.

Good for you, Pacer for getting back on track. You are through the worst of Induction now. It should get better from here.

Hi and welcome Pacer -

So you understand how the plan works and how to work it successfully for you it would be a helpful for you to have a copy of the Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution (DANDR) book to refer to. 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”).

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