“So… this is my first day on induction… and I’ve already messed up
by forgetting that nuts are a no-no until AFTER induction… oops.
*sigh*”

Dear TWC,
Please don’t be too hard on yourself. You learned today that you can’t eat
nuts during induction, so you are that much smarter. You can now do better. Just
keep on keeping on, and you will get there, one pound at a time.
God bless,

Hi Jacki: I’ve had a sweet tooth since childhood. Although the family
health nut for 25 or so years…still needed something sweet after dinner (or
amid
depression). Began Induction June 12 and miraculously w/i 3 days no sweet
cravings. However, through taste-and-reject/accept, I’ve sampled several things
and now keep a couple of favorite flavors of Atkins Advantage bars w/me…just
a bite or two is plenty to provide a sweet taste. Also, melt 4 unsweetened
chocolate square, blend w/whipping cream (2 cups or so), 7 pkgs Splenda (or as
desired) and vanilla to taste and freeze in cupcake foil cups and it works
good as a cool treat sort of like a fudgesicle. I also belong to a couple of
other support groups (different subject matter) and never take it personally if
a
direct request is not responded to…I’ve learned that while there’s lots of
lurkers, most of us have times when we’re more sharing than others based on a
wide variety of factors in one’s life at the moment. I’m just thankful to
have several groups that are a real blessing to me. Kathy in Central CA
Jacki,
Sorry no one is responding to you. You really should not have sweets quite
yet. If you will go to
(click here) and sign
up, you can get every answer you ever wanted about this way of eating. Good
luck!

Maybe a dumb question but I remember some women get sick on their prenatals so
does too much iron make you nauseous? I’m trying to figure out if I did
anything to make myelf sick. I feel better now but I was miserable for about 3
hours this morning right after breakfast.
I did take a multi (forgot about the iron) and I had a big steak for dinner last
night.
But this morning I used a lot of carbs for breakfast–scrambled eggs with
veggies and bacon(well a lot at 20 for the day Ü.)
So did I do this to myself or was it something else altogether? I know you
can’t tell me for sure or anything but does it sound familiar to anyone or
anything?
Thanks

Hello all!
I was wondering if it’s ok to eat liver in this diet and also, of all
things, pickles?
Also, does anyone know of any sodas that are just saccharine-
sweetened, and nothing else?
Thank you so much!

Hi,
I’m new around here……….My name is Amy and I have approx 130lbs
to lose.
I’m on day 2 of induction……….and here I sit thinking I was
doing really well with my tuna fish………until I went to
fitday.com and punch in my lunch choices…………tuna salad 40gm
of carbs…………..WHAT have I done? Oh My God!
I’m trying so hard and I’m never SURE if I’m eating properly.
Hi all you Atkins dieters,
I have completed 1 week on the induction and am doing well, despite my
misgivings. Have tried so many diets all my life and have been up and down, but
each time putting on a little more. Is this going to be the answer to all my
problems I wonder! Let’s hope so. I have lost 6 lbs and am amazed at not
feeling hungry at all How does it work? This is the first diet I have tried
where you are not hungry. I live in UK and have not yet discovered a drink
without Aspartame. Is there anyone from UK that can advise me. I am drinking
flavoured Sparkling water, just to ring the changes. If I drink any more water I
shall drown!. I am 63ys, healthy, but overweight at 206lbs. I want to lose 42 by
next year for my daughter’s wedding. Good luck to you all!

Can anyone recommend a good salad dressing that is either easy to
make or already to buy in the store? I would like something that
tastes creamy rather than a vinegar if possible!!
Thanks,
Stefani
