  • Another good book is the blood sugar solution, he has a good facebook site also. Same thing, carbs BAD. I got it from the library. I find that I need constant reinforcement to not go back to bad habits.:drinker:

  • Urghhhh just ate too many Ikea Swedish meatballs then read the package. Just blew my carb intake for the day! Getting on the treadmill to hopefully counteract.

  • Found these great sites for recipe ideas and thought I'd share: http://alldayidreamaboutfood.com/ http://www.genaw.com/lowcarb/ I would avoid any and all mock desserts for first 2 phases of Atkins. Why tempt the beast. Good Luck to all.

  • If you have read any of the Atkins books, they state that you increase your carbs by 5 net carbs weekly (note not daily) ie. for week one you increase 5 grams of carbs for a total of 30net grams carbs the next week you up to 35..You do this until your weight loss stalls and this determines your carb load that you need to…

  • Started Atkins about 12 days ago. Not only am I not hungry and have no cravings but I have a complete disinterest in food. I simply don't want to eat. I wonder for those of you that increased your carbs by adding 5 grams of carbs by fruit did it increase your appetite?

  • A friend that has done Atkins recommended drinking a "Zero" drink (no calorie/no carb) as it helps with electrolyte replacement and the Atkins "flu". I drank one and felt a ton better.

  • Lost 5 lbs first week. For those in doubt, when I've done low calorie, low fat diets it could be a month or two before losing 5 lbs. Also, someone told me to drink a "Zero" drink if you have headaches or Atkins flu, as it replaces electrolytes, and it worked. I also found that "dieters tea" helps with constipation.

  • Thanks, If I didn't try it I wouldn't believe it. It's true, I'm not hungry day 4 and in Ketosis.

  • Thank you, I've been used to counting calories so putting a tbsp. of cream at 50 calories concerned me. However it has been 3 days and I'm 2lbs lighter. I'm sure it is water but I feel better and it gave me the boost I need to continue with Atkins.

  • I'm new to Atkins, just started induction. Looking for advice on whether it makes a difference as to how many fat grams are consumed in a day for weight loss? For instance, if you have one meal that includes a fatty meat and the rest are lean protein is it better than all 3 meals including a higher calorie protein? I'm not…
