All I have ever done is the old atkins books, I tend to stay on one form of the old induction or another long term, I find the whole net carb thing to be TOO much counting and TOO much work, only to have the scale stall on us, as far as calories on the old 1972 book, you do NOT cound calories at all on the old atkins, he…

its been several months since i have eaten low carb, i am sure i have gained some weight but I dont want to step on the scale, TODAY FINALLY!!! i am doing atkins again, its been 2 days now, i feel better already, I am not going to weight for 2 weeks, because i dont want to see the scale, I would rather see it in 2 weeks, I…

Holly, i ecourage you to read the OLD atkins books, the ones from the 70's, you can find them at the library and online, in those books, you DO NOT EAT VEGIES!!!,,, its mostly meat eggs cheese and creams YUM,,, you dont have to have those vegies, thats the new atkins books, the ones written after aktins passed away

its good to see everyone carrying the torch while I am away!, keep up the good work

6 days left in the month, its been an up and down month for many of us, looks like i am going to end the month with some weight loss, I am happy about that, just getting thru winter can seem tough , snow days, cold days,, days you want comfort food ect ect, just keep rebounding and get back on ketosis/induction when ever…

i am finding as we get "hold overs' from the old "low fat days" we find people that are trying to do atkins and do it with proteins and carbs, meaning lean proteins and net carbs, this appears out of the old fears of cloggging artieries and fat = bad = heart attacks,, so get people who try to do lean proteins leave out the…

ita astonishing to me that fruit would ever be considered on a low carb diet, let alone atkins?,, fruit was strickly a no no in the old atkins books,, lol, some nuts were allowed by atkins, especially macadamia nuts, GiVE me A BIG PORTER HOUSE STEAK!! smile have a great day everyone

25 grams of "net carbs" could bump you out of Ketosis as often times net carbs are "half' of the total carbs eatin in a single day, so if you find yourself not losing weight or stalling out, then you may have to look into going for total carbs per day and not net carbs?,, food for thought, So many of you are losing…

chow down on a large T-Bone steak, or a large Rib Eye steak, you will get 1200 calories in just one meal,, or eat a few ounces of Chesse with a Cup of Coffee with 2 or 3 tablespoons of heavy cream , that will get you to 1200 really fast. or have a few eggs with some grated cheese and a few slices of bacon, that will get…

Sometimes I think the new atkins books have made a whole mess out of this diet, the "net carbs" thing takes too many people down bunny trials and causes them to spend weeks not achieving thier goals, some of us are just too carb sensative, and atkins talked about this in his OLD BOOKS!! the ones from the 1970's , in the…

its nice to see everyone trying, some are doing well, others are struggling, but that is the story of long term dieting, you take the ups with the downs, for me i am down 3 pounds so far in Feb, weight loss on atkins has really slowed, but for me atkins takes care of my diabeties really well, and slow term weight loss for…

I am happy to hear people are reaching thier goals, thats what this thread and others like it are all about, support, help, and sharing our SUCCESS!!!,, January has been an up and down month for many of use,, keep your eyes on the whole year, I ended up losing 4 pounds this month over all, Success,,, sure you bet, anything…

induction sure has a way of making you feel great , and then the double whammy of making you feel great on the scale!

CC child, the way I understood it from the old atkins books is all fat turned into ketones has to be used as fuel for the body, and any ketones that are not used cannot be turned back into fat, I think atkins refered to it as the "advantage" of low carb dieting, so any excess ketones are flushed out in our urine, hence the…

I read this article years ago, and I came across it again, I dont claim that all he says is true , BUT I will say that in the OLD Atkins books from the 1970's atkins made the same claims about 20 grams under induction dieting that you can eat until you are full, all you want of the allowed foods and you would lose weight,…

if your considering a carb up meal, or a cheat meal some call it, then consider this ,,i very often go for 1 or 2 week on induction and then have a cheat meal or even a cheat half day, especailly if the scale moved downward for the previous week, Atkins himself touted the idea of a cheat meal or cheat day,, ( even 3 days…

i very often go for 1 or 2 week on induction and then have a cheat meal or even a cheat half day, especailly if the scale moved downward for the previous week, Atkins himself touted the idea of a cheat meal or cheat day,, ( even 3 days off if you were on a hard platue) ,, when your low carbing for a week or 2, and the idea…

I like to do Keto/low carb/ induction with intemittened FAT FASTING,, great results, and weight loss on fat fasting is quicker than a normal fast,, has anyone else tried this?

8 Days to go People! Finish strong, I had a 3 day trip to the Oregon Coast, and only took 1 meal off, I thought that was pretty good, planned ahead and brought plenty of low carb options with me, well with 8 days to go, I am going to weight in on Sunday and then do a 3 day FAT FAST ( maybe 4 days) to finish out the month,…

it is truely a wonderful thing to read the old atkins books, and get yourself off of the "net carbs" for a few weeks,, go old school atkins, and ditch all the sugars, all the things that got you to this place you hate,, get into really good ketosis and feel your stomach pull in and see the scale move down fast, get really…

i hear you about mock desserts, often times too they use the powdered splenda and nobody seems to account for the maltodextrin in it, spenda is not zero carbs,, ( by law if its less than 1 gram they can call it zero,,) problem is , if you use a cup of splenda it can really ad up to around 35 grams, just google carbs in…

having watched my own children do low carb (they are teenagers) its amazing how fast you can lose wieght when you have a well working system, there reaching a point where you can really feel lethargic, and taking a couple of days off and eathing carbs can restore a good feeling about yourself, then going back on the low…

this topic pops up from time to time, I am type 2 diabetic myself, being such I was taught what acidosis is during my early classes on diabeties, ketosis and keto acidosis are 2 seperate syndroms, acidosis is a symptom of extermeemly HIGH blood sugar and the person spills ketones into thier urine an it can be measured with…

I am down 7 pounds now for the month of January!! YAYA! ,, is the 4 oz of cheese from the new atkins books or the old atkins books?, i need to look into that one

its entirely possible to get smaller and not see the scale go down, its happend to me, because the pants feel loser, I did loss 2 more pounds this week so far, kinda fun, I just hope everyone is staying positive and staying away from those sugar alchols and keeping the net carb thing on a short leash, if you do , you too…

some people get so KETO ADAPTED (which is good really) that they then have to not only count/watch carbs,, but then also count calories,, kinda no fun I know,, but you may have to try this?

i have also learned to enjoy a tasty sugar free jello, at least its something,, also go to george stellas web page , he has many low carb recipies,, but you hvae to make them yourself

I too have started using the low carb store bought ice cream, and I am staying in ketosis and the scale is still moving downward,, but i DO pay attention to the serving size which is small,, but it tastes like HEAVEN!!!

my "toots' go away also when I do atkins, be sure to not eat a bunch of cheese and keep your protien up,, and you will have normal movements

That DIZZY feeling you get is when your body is switching from using Carbs/ sugars as fuel and your switching over to using fats/ketones as your main fuel,, when you are on the other side of the switch you will feel FANTASTIC!!,, and the scale will start rocking downward,, its during this "dizzy" stage that some people…
