Hi, I am new to this community and wanted to introduce myself. I have been on Atkins diet since 10/17/99. To date, I have lost 9lbs and 6.5 inches. I love this way of eating. I feel better already just by having lost those few pounds. >> Hello and welcome to the list !!!!!! Congratulations on your success so far with this WOL!!! Thats wonderful that you find it within yourself to control your urges for those high carb foods. I so so glad that you are feeling good with this WOE. Keep up the good job! 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 caffeine (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.
