Hi Ruth!!

Make sure you drink a minimum of 64 ounces of pure water (nothing added), exercise starting today and take a multi-vitamin. If you haven't already, read the 2002 Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution (DANDR).

The recipe sites will help keep you from eating the same thing over and over -- check them out! Don't forget to eat enough vegetables (check the acceptable food 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) - eat enough vegetables - 2 cups from the first list and 1 cup from the 2nd list daily. Many of us use www.Fitday.com to track our food so we know what our carb totals are for the day. It's important you know what you are eating and how many carbs you are taking in each day.

You forgot the ones on OWL (Ongoing Weight Loss) and Pre-Maintenance. As you read in your copy of "Dr. Atkins' New Diet Revolution" (2002), Atkins has three weight loss phases --- Induction, Ongoing Weight Loss and Pre-Maintenance --- and a maintenance phase. Induction should not be done until one reaches goal. One needs time to progress through all the phases of Atkins in order to learn how maintain one's weight once at goal.
