i am atkins / low carb / keto dieter, come on over to the atkins forum here at my fitness pal http://www.myfitnesspal.com/forums/show/5181-atkins-support-group ad me as a friend also if you wish

it was simply a suggestion

meats of all types and eggs are my staples

I love it,, cave diet,, lol, there are plenty of people I dont tell the word "Atkins too" even my doctor,, with some people I simpley say " Less in More out" then it seems to suit them, often times it just isnt worth the can of worms that gets opened, I think thats one of the reasons I love this group so much, getting to…

Wow, so fun to hear someone else is planning to low carb thru Easter, I am going to dine on Ham, green bean blue cheese dish , and a 7 layer salad that only has low carb vegies with a full fat dressing, its going to feel EPIC to go thru a major holiday and not blow it

congrats on the 25 pounds

oh the dreaded week 2 of atkins, also the dreaded week 2 of any diet, ever watch the biggest loser, and how tough it is for them to lose any weight at all in week 2,,, I think this is why atkins wants people to only weigh on induction after the full 14 days are up, this way you swallow up the week 2 lows, and you only see…

if you do old school atkins , you wont have to worry about being hungry, on old atkins you eat ALL YOU WANT!! but it has to be only allowed foods, so read up on what is allowed and enjoy to your hearts content, and there are actually some pretty tasty things to be had , what happens then is after a few days your appitie…

just had 3 braughtworsts with mustard,, yum

I went to the DR Yesterday, in 4 weeks I lost 17 pounds on thier scale, the DR and the nurse were a very surprised, He kept asking me, "how did you do it", I simply replied, "Less in, More out",, I never tell the DR that I do atkins, in years past when I have it just opens a whole can of worms, So I just let them wonder…

down 7 pounds in six days, I am down 21 pounds since February 20ths,, loving atkins again

I can hardly wait to weigh in on Monday morning this week is going to be EPIC!

you are correct, once your in OWL , and many people do not go into owl, also old atkins seems to be judged entirely on the induction phase, the whole point of this topic was to tell the poster that the "new atkins" that requires so many vegies in the induction phase just doesnt have to be done if she doesnt want to eat them

down 6 pounds this week, I am so happy about that, I am now back down to where I was last year, time to plow forward!

sounds like a good plan

I am keto also, and old school atkins as well

now the new diet revolution does state during induction you can have a small green salad once per day as long as your losing weight, but that its not neccasary, and that small green salad can include only and I quote from the book again directily pasted """""Salads: Two small green salads a day (each less than one cupful,…

Direct quote from the original atkins book, copy and pasted word for word, notice is says "not for level one" """The Diet Revolution Vegetables (not for level one): All of the above plus; Asparagus, Avocado, Bamboo Shoots, Bean Sprouts, Beet Greens, Broccoli, Brussels Sprouts, Cabbage, Cauliflower, Chard, Chinese Cabbage,…

if you read the web page I sent you , you will see the one year study they ate steaks mostly ,

sure go ahead and "QUOTE" the old 1972 atkins book on vegies, but you will be quoting from the section on OWL or maintenance, and not from the section on "indcution", its the induction phase that the new book seems to skip over by starting vegies right away, so to reply to the original poster of this thread, if your…

check out this page, it is all about the meat only diet, the men who did it, and how they lived, http://healthimpactnews.com/2013/wonders-of-the-ketogenic-diet-two-men-who-ate-nothing-but-meat-for-an-entire-year/

YOU BETCHA!!! i am already happy with how much my blood pressure has come down again already,

its interesting that some people feel you dont get vitaimins from meat, have you ever heard of "fat soluble vitamins",, there also a study years ago where 2 guys were put into a doctors care and lived there under watch for a whole year and they ate nothing but meat for an entire year, and they were perfectly healthy

carbs depends on what stage your in, induction stage last 2 weeks typically, and its 20 grams per day , only 20,, not 20 "NET" carbs, old atkins does not play the net carb thing, then there is "owl" stage or what atkins called ongoing weight loss, he described in the book on how to find your critical carbo level, the last…

I encourage you to take a look at this short web page that has an excerpt from the atkins original book from 1972, that does not use all the vegies http://forum.lowcarber.org/archive/index.php/t-105855.html

thank you, its wonderful to be back, 3 days in induction and I already feel so much better!

are you doing the "new" atkins where you count net carbs?? this could be the problem?

I am on board with you all
