so far im starting to loose weight yea……wowo did not think it was
working but i guess im doing something right sandi

Anyone have a can of the Atkins Vanilla Shake that wouldn’t mind listing the
carbs (total not net), proteinand fat content?
Thanks

I don’t know how you ladies do it! I have been low carbin’ for a couple
months and very little weight loss (12lbs, if that). I drink all my
water, go to the gym (1 hour @ 3x’s/weekly), eat the bigger carby meals
for lunch, lite dinners, rarely going over 30 carbos per day. Ok, sounds
perfect? What the hell is wrong with this picture? I have used fitday
and the only thing I can come up with is TOO MANY CALORIES. We are told
in the book not to worry so much about that, but when you are a
recovering food addict like myself and have to be “snackin” on something
all day…..that pound of bacon or block of cream cheese that says ZERO
sure adds up. Don’t let that fool you. There is a bigger picture
here……….carbs and cals count!
Just an observation in case any others are having the same issues.
The solution to this problem? Fill thine mouth with toothpicks or
something other than FOOD!! LOL

Get yourself another book as soon as possible. In the meantime use the above
link to determine what to eat on Induction.
More information is also found at the www.atkins.com website.
Best wishes!

Some Foods with “Hidden” Carbs
* Cream — 0.6 grams per ounce
* Cheddar Cheese — 0.5 grams per ounce
* Swiss Cheese — 0.9 grams per ounce
* Eggs — 0.6 grams each (large egg)
* Sugar-Free Jello (mix) — 1 gram per 1/2 cup serving
(maltodextrin)
* Sugar-Free Tang — 1 gram per cup (maltodextrin)
* Coffee — 0.7 grams per cup
* Metamucil — 2 grams per serving; not counting fiber
(maltodextrin)
* Artificial Sweeteners — 1 gram per packet (dextrose or
maltodextrin)
One additional point — although not technically “hidden” because the
carb count is contained on the label, many people mistakenly believe
that just because it’s meat, it must be carb-free. That is not always
the case. Highly-processed meats, like hot dogs and lunch meats, contain
carbohydrates.
For example…
* Deli Ham — 1 to 3 grams per 2-oz serving
* Deli Turkey — 1 to 3 grams per 2-oz serving
* Deli Beef — 1 gram per 2-oz serving
* Hot dogs — 1 to 4 grams per dog
* Spam — 1/2 gram per serving
* Smoked Sausage — 4 grams per serving

I started Atkins 6 days ago and have been following a strict
induction and today I was out Christmas shopping and got 2 subway
turkey and cheese wraps from Subway. Should I start my induction
over? I just feel so awful.
Help!
