starting tomorrow
I start induction tomorrow.
I have spent the last week reading the book. I got some stuff
today. Tomorrow will start induction. I am scared to death. I am a
very picky eater. I am not into veggies very much but have made up my
mind to try to learn to eat new ones. I weighed today and was
horrified to see 311. I have always been fat but never this fat. I
also am addicting to caffeine=—Pepsi to be exact. I have spent the
last 2 weeks trying to adjust to diet coke. I usually drink close to
a 12 pack a day. I tried to go off Pepsi comletely. Boy was that a
mistake. Withdraw headaches and I dont have the patience to do
that. So will do 2 diet cokes a day. One in the mornign. and one
at night. Will then decrease that down until I am off of it
completely. John, I read you post about getting frustrated when you
see post for menus. I know, I want to see them just to see what
other people eat. It may not be something I would eat but at least
it is an idea. I have no imagination. So I need all the menus to
give me some suggestions/and wants. Today I had a Grilled chicken
salad from McDonalds. No coutons. just the salad, dressing and a
bowl of green beans.
So here is a few question.
Is there a book/site etc that will have carbs counts for places like
McDonalds salads, Burger King sites etc.
I am still learning so please believe me when I say I will be coming
here a lot for suggestions, encouragemets etc

I have to say that I drink Diet Coke on my induction and it does me
no harm… I guess I am one of those folks that it really doesn’t
affect. The Diet Coke itself will not take you off of your diet..
it’s the cravings for other things it is supposed to bring on right??
I drink an occassional cup of coffee and about 1-2 diet soda’s a
day.. I don’t really have trouble with any of it. I just have to
remember to drink my water!!!!!
Peace!

I bought some diet sodas that list aspartame as their sweetener. I
hope that’s fine when you’re on Atkins Induction. My Starbucks
thermos holds 15 cups of water so I try to drink a full one 4.5 times
a day, although I’m not used to drinking that much water.
I cheated on Sunday because of social pressure at a friend’s small
dinner party when the desserts came out. This Saturday is my
church’s banquet which is great because nobody will notice when I
load up my plate on turkey, ham, beef, and garden vegetables and not
bother with dessert.

Splenda originated in Canada….so I am sure there is loads of it there for
you…..I am sorry if I don’t have the names of all the products for you

I’m starting the Atkins tomorrow I just have question. The twenty
carbs we are allotted is that included in the veggies we can already
eat or is it in addition to?
Thanks

Nope I do believe is only 20 per day but you do know you can sneak
carbs…in that I mean the fiber grams is your food are taken off
the carbs..I know that 20 carbs doesnt sound like enough and in the
beginning I was scared…but Im at the end of day 3 and I gotta say
its getting easier. My first day was bad I was having major
withdrawals and my brian seems to be going with it lol but hey its
getting better I think I almost have got it. Dont get me wrong you
may find yourself dreaming at night about food you wanna eat or can
eat lol I know I did but over all after day 3 it gets better!! So
just stick to your 20 carbs and youll be fine
