Hello and good luck to everyone!
I’m very new to Atkins although I’ve heard it really works and
decided to give it a try. I’m waiting for my library to call me when
the book becomes available until then I have been searching the
internet for information and found quite a few good websites. I’ve
started on the induction but I think I’ve screwed up a bit with milk
and peanut butter which I think are no-no’s? So I’m going to start
over again tomorrow and try to follow the menu plan on the atkins
site. I gather that “no sugar” for 1 or 2 weeks means just that and
almost everything I have in my house has sugar in it. That part is
going to be tough for me. Also, I’ve never been much of a water
drinker and it’s been extremely difficult forcing down 8 glass of
water a day and then jumping up every 15min to run to the pot. Does
this part kind of go away eventually? Or do I need to invest
in “Depends”? Thanks for being here for me!

Good luck as you start on induction. You’ll be surprised at how
quickly the sugar cravings will go away.
About the water: It’s critical. And besides, it’s good for us. I,
too, could not keep up with counting glasses of water throughout the
day. My husband and I each got one of those 32 oz. plastic water
bottles and now we just make sure we fill it twice a day and drink
it all. I have one at home and one at the office. Works great and
no glass counting.
