Atkins diet blog

I have stayed on induction and have never cheated. My results are:
16.5 pounds gone
12 inches gone (all areas)
I lost 10 pounds right away, 3 pounds in week 2, maintained in weeks
3 and 4, and finally was able to drop 3 more pounds this past week. I
think i’m well on my way towards my goal. Thank you for all of your
support, I enjoy reading your stories and especially reading the
recipes. Good luck to all of you!

I saw some Atkins Cereal at the GNC today. I wanted to buy it, but I
didn’t because I don’t know what I’d put on it. I can’t use milk.
What do you all put on your lo-carb cereal? Or do you eat it dry?
Thanks.

Hi my name is Christine I am on day 6 and have lost 9.5 pounds so
far. although the sugar cravings expecially for cookies are strong. I
HATE the bars so those are no help.
I have found the choices are many though so I have no gotten bored
with the food options. I makeup recipes a lot so I guess that helps.
Yesterday for dinner I made faux rice with cauliflower and toped it
with zesty chicken breast (cajun style) and cheddar cheese. Very
filling at about 5 carbs per serving.

HI,
DON’T CRUCIFY YOURSELF,; JUST PICK UP WHERE YOU LEFT OFF. CONTINUE ON
FROM THIS MOMENT DOING THE RIGHT THING. IT WILL BE ALRIGHT. YOU ARE GOING TO
MAKE IT. DON’T GIVE UP. I’M ON DAY 6 OF THE INDUCTION. I’M COOL NOW BUT THE
FIRST 2 DAYS WERE THE HARDEST FOR ME. I’VE LOST 7 LBS SO FAR AND EVERY LB
INSPIRES ME TO KEEP GOING. I HAVE 60 TO LOSE ALTOGETHER.

Hello!
Well, I was doing well on induction. On my fifth day, yesterday, i
couldn’t take it. I had a hamburger with a bun, fries, and coke. I
have had a caffeine addiction for many years.
I have been doing OK today. I’ve lost about 5 pounds already. My
ketones are still high. Should I just continue and not make any more
mistakes? Should I start over? (Please say no! :))
Thank you-any and all help is appreciated.

I haven’t been around for a while. i’m staring back on the diet in
the morning. this time i’m sticking to it.

I had a big suprise today. I knew I needed new jeans as my current
jeans were a bit loose. So loose I could take them off without
unzipping the zipper. Well I still could not believe I had lost
enough weight to have gone down a whole size but I purchased without
trying on in the store a new pair of jeans in the next smallest
size. I took them home and expecting them to end up in a pile in
the corner of the room in disgust, tired them on and they fit
perfectly! Not only that but my friends are now asking me “how much
weight have you lost” which means they can see a difference and they
all “want to lose weight” which means it must look ok too. I am
excited. I have lost close to 20 pounds now depending on what time
of the day I step on the scale. I had stalled for quite a few weeks
but stuck to Atkins and it paid off just to keep doing Atkins
because I have kicked back into loseing weight and inches. I think
the stall after the first couple of weeks is time for your body to
adjust to a new eating program. I am just glad I did not abandon
ship because the scale had not shown faster results. It now is all
paying off.

I am going to be busy later and I have company tonight, so I took some
shortcuts in making tonight’s dinner. I am making chicken parmesan. I bought
a bag of that already shredded cheese and as I was struggling to open the
easy open bag, I saw the word potato on the bag. In the ingredients for
the motserella cheese was potato starch!? And (excuse my language) WTF is
cellulous? Isn’t that plastic? Well I never knew that companies added stuff
like that for cheese? I won’t buy that stuff again.
