Hello everyone!

I joined this list last week and am truly learning alot. Either you break

it down alot better than the book, or it is from trial and error. Whatever

the reason, I truly appreciate all the information you are sharing.

Hello and welcome to the list !!!!!!

You will find we are a wonderfully supportive group. As far as the

Atkin's diet is concerned, there is a 14 day induction period where you are

eliminating carbs and carb-cravings. During the 14 days, you are allowed to

eat til satisfied on most meat, eggs and cheese keeping your carb intake to

20 grams or less. You are supposed to eliminate all sugar and caffiene (I

believe) though it is a YMMV (your miles may vary) thing. And most important

you are supposed to drink 64oz of water plus 8oz for every 25 pounds you want

to lose every day. We weigh every Monday and you are welcome to join in.

You may also find it

beneficial to measure as you may find that when you are not losing pounds,

you are still losing inches. During that 2 week induction, it is not

uncommon

to lose 10 pounds or more. But, again, this is a YMMV. Penny has a wonderful

site with a lot of good information in it. The link is listed below my

signature line.

Please feel free to ask any questions that you may have. Someone will try and

find the answer for you.

If you go to www.onelist.com and sign in for this list. In the file section

there is a low carb cookbook with over 500 recipes in it. Also, go to the

link section and you will find many links with great information and more

recipes.

I personally don't use protein powder in my cooking. I only use it for my

shakes. I am sure someone will give you the information you are looking for.
