Today is day 10 for me...I've not lost any weight in the last few days, but prior to that I lost almost 4 kilos in the first week! Water weight I know.

I have never had more energy in my life. I'm no longer bloated. I'm not having cravings and I am ALWAYS full. It's hard to eat all the carbs in a day. Normally I eat a piece of red capsicum after dinner to add some. I'm eating a lot of protein so it's making me feel really full.

I've been following the Atkins page up until now. Gods it's hard to use! I used to use MFP for over a year counting calories and lost 30 kilos, but the weight has gradually been creeping back on, so I'm giving Atkins a go. Counting carbs is so much easier than counting calories.

I've been including nuts too, but only because in the 'old days', Atkins allowed nuts on induction, so I'm not sure if they do or don't any more. Otherwise it's a very easy 'diet' to do. If I'm out and get hungry I stop somewhere and pick up some cold meat or cheese to tide me over til I get home.

And I log absolutely everything I put in my mouth. I've noticed tonight a few small discrepancies between here and the Atkins page though.

I have lost 30 lbs in 90 days. If you have 100 to lose, you will see a big difference right away. Very excited for you! Good luck!!!

Hello All,

Today is day two for me and I've felt really hungry on and off....right now I'm really full. How many calories are you guys logging?? I was told not to worry during induction but I don't want to go over 1800. How many of you have had success and what are your secrets?? I can see eggs getting old for breakfast really fast. What do you guys have?? I was considering steak one morning....I think that sounds like a plan.

Can you give you give an example of a daily meal plan??

Pork rinds have been saving me in the evening. I always tend to crave something crunchy.

cnm if you're hungry, eat protein...Atkins can be a bit of an expensive way to eat because meat is quite expensive and you really do have to be organised. Always have protein at home to eat. Counting calories as well as doing Atkins probably isn't going to work too well to be honest. You must have a certain amount of oil/fat on Atkins and as you probably already know, they as well as protein are high in calories. It's scientifically proven, don't muddle with it. I've read time and time again it's people who try and adjust Atkins that fail and then go on to say the program doesn't work.

I keep ham in the fridge, and boiled eggs. Today I roasted a whole chicken before breakfast and have been nibbling away at it. One day last week I had a piece of rump steak for breakfast and then a salad a bit later on. Other days I've had pork chops lol. It certainly changes everything you think you know about eating doesn't it?

^^ Awesome effort...now I have to go calculate that into kilos

I eat a lot of canned chicken and tuna. Sometimes i will mix the chicken up with an avocado, sounds weird but tastes amazing, or hot sauce. I also like to snack on pepperoni and ham slices, cheesesticks, and pork rhines. As far as meat I try and see what's on sale and buy that. I also love to grill burgers and wrap them in lettuce instead of a bun. My sweet treat is whipped cream in the aerosole can, i just fill my mouth up when Im craving something sweet, LOL. Also, sugar free jello is good too.

I also try and eat a lot of broccoli and cucumbers. Salads are good too - gotta love the fact you can use full flavored Ranch!!
Good Luck
