Good blood results!
Today, I got my results back from my physical. The last bloodwork I had was from the fall of 2014. At that time, I weighed almost 90lbs more than I do today and my fasting glucose rate had rose to 109 (supposed to be 99 or under) and my A1C had rose to 5.9 (should be 5.6 or lower) putting me in the prediabetic range. My…

Low carb Sick Food
I'm sick (fever, chills, cough) for the first time since I have started this WOE. Traditionally, when I have been sick I turn to baked potatoes and orange juice, both of which are no longer options.

My question to the group is do you think that eating/drinking these…

Sucralose and the Breakfast Dilemma
I have just completed the first week of the two week Atkins induction diet. I am not a big breakfast (or morning) person. I need something quick that does not require cooking and does not contain eggs. So, I have picked up some of the Atkins shakes to use. I'm a little scared to use them because I have a serious sweet…

Vitamins
I just started the induction phase of Atkins yesterday. I have done LC diets in the past, but it has been awhile. I know you have to be careful about potassium levels at the beginning and that it wouldn't hurt to up your magnesium as well. My question is whether I should take supplements just for potassium and magnesium or…
