i am starting a juice fast

good to meet you all

i typically do one cheat meal per week, not a whole day, just one meal or maybe a 2 hour period, it doesnt seem to slow down my weight loss, and it makes me feel good, knowing I can have that one meal , also prevents stalls for me

Yo I am here

are you doing the new atkins book? or the old atkins book,, some big differances between the two

I find the almond flour tastes so much better than soy, i cant seem to find soy flour that is not bitter,, good stuff there for sure

good scale, I find I cannot get into ketosis if I go over 20 grams per day, the chat lists me at 41 grams per day, but I guess its differant per person depending on how carb sensative you are, in most keto books they take the carb grams down very very low

lots of great low carb foods and DESSERTS here at george stella web site called stella style http://www.stellastyle.com/ I do the low carb cheese cakes and low car ice creams

been back on atkins for 1 week, down 11 pounds so far, I am doing old school atkins, hope your doing well with low carb

i find that I stall, and not lose weight when I go over 20 grams per day, and I am talking about actual carbs, not "net carbs", but thats me, everyone is differant, I find that if I go up to 50 grams or even 100 grams which some people consider low carb, that I also have to calorie count at the same time, and if I am going…

are you doing new Atkins or old Atkins? My guess is your doing new if your eating the y bars? Get your hands on one of his old books, really different program, it's not filled with all of those net carbs

oh gosh, the smell of baked goods, bread , doughnuts, cookies,, UGH, i am in the middle of a solid long low carb run, and gosh yes my nose can sniff out just about everything I cant have,, lol

i am along for the ride also, ad me if you wish, I have lost around 65 pounds so far, and need to lose another 118 at least

chocolate ice cream, I make it myself, its SOOO good

way to go, stopped the climb before you gained it all back!, I have become a person who just pretty much stays on atkins type eating all the time now, I feel so much better when I love carb, and the bad foods just arnt tempting me any longer, i hope the same for you

atkins i s hard, eve n for us long term peeps

oh my gosh its so good to be back

hello

Happy August to everyone, thought I would stop in and say hello,

I am right there with you, I am 51 years old now, and when I do induction, I have to have under 20 grams per day and this is actual grams, not net carbs, and I have to cut out all vegies, and go almost straight meats, and go lower on the cheeses to get it to move, when my son who is age 16 does atkins weight flys off of…

OH YES<< I am talking about ALL Summer long, no slips, no cheats, have supreme will power!, no cheat meals, no dinners out where you say 'ah heck just one meal, NO< STAY STRONG!,, ALL SUMMER LONG!,, the rewards for making it thru 3 solid months will be so so so very worth it when you get there, just 3 short months people,…

Ill start walking with you all, even though the month is half over, I am going to start up and go for it also

june has been a really good month for me, 2 weeks into a new induction run and have the weight almost back to my low point a couple of months ago, I really need to stop roller coasting right now, even though I am down a good 65 pounds from where I was 1.5 years ago, its time for me to go to a new place, even if I sit at…

old atkins induction stage went for 2 weeks minimum, atkins also said you could stay in the induction phase, (less than 20 grams per day of carbs) for as long as you needed to , the other stages in old atkins were called OWL,, or on going weight loss, where you slowly added carbs back until the scale stopped moving, that…

sugar alcohols and "net" carbs can make your keto strips never change, how many carbs are you eating each day as a whole before subtracting fiber and sugar alcohols?,, those things effect people very differantly, many people have posted here this has stalled them , some have reported that "atkins bars" or low carb bars…

you say your "carbs are in range" ,, what is your range, are you using straight carb count, or net carb count?

This was taken from the old Atkins website, which no longer exists. The "old" version of Induction rules can also be found here. Induction Rules: You will follow these basic rules: 1. Eat three meals a day. Stabilizing the blood sugar is the basic tool of controlled carbohydrate weight loss, and to achieve this you should…

its good to have you around, atkins groups is a good place to be, many of us are regulars here

The local library used to have Lyle's book "the ketogenic diet", along the way someone never returned it, I got to read it a few times, that was one of the most accurate medical type books on Ketosis I have ever read, I wish I could get my hands on another one
