I've lost 27 pounds and the belly area was the first to go! My starting weight was 226.

One more question for the group. I'm trying to stay around 1200 calories per day and 20 grams of carbs. How much do calories really count on Atkins. I mean I know the book says you don't need to calorie count but also don't think that means you can eat half a pund of bacon at each meal. Anyone?

Thanks so much for the reply lleabrooks! I stay below my carb count and try to stay below 1200 calories and am exercising 5 days a week. Hopefully these good results will keep on coming! Good luck to you!

Help! I'm so confused! I've read here that I should stay away from bars and shakes during induction. Is that true? What's the basis? I've been using those as my snacks (1 bar and 1 shake per day) and lost about 6 pounds week 1. Opinions and Advice welcome!
