Hi Trinks,

Welcome to our list! There isn't any place better for you to be on the

web if you want to loose weight and have lots of really great support. The

people on this list are wonderful...so full of lots of good ideas and recipe

suggestions. Good luck and if you can't find the cookbook in the shared

files section just let me know and I'll be glad to e-mail it to you (requires

Microsoft Word). This goes for anyone else who's interested too. Just drop

me an e-mail. Keep posting!

Hello Sue,

I just started my 14 day induction diet today! I bought the book and decided

to give it a try. I am 46 years old.

Welcome Mz....You have come to the right place!....We're all here for each

other...Judi

[Guest guest]

Hi , yes, too many carbs will make you want more more more!... Could be

sugar also if you are having too much....Gotta read everything, sounds like a

drag but it's a must...Hidden carbs in alot of stuff...O.J., my favorite

thing in the world, has more carbos in one 8oz glas, than we should have all

day!!.....I foolishly thought when I first started this " diet " that carbos

were just in bulk food, not liguids....Jeez a tiny Yoo Hoo has more than

OJ.......Drink lots of water...some of us drink 100oz a day AND 8oz

additional for every 25 lbs we have to lose.....Don't give up now, if you've

got 2 days under your belt, continue!......Judi

[Guest guest]

Thanks for the encouragement Judy. I feel better today, and I am READING THE

LABELS! I was having too many carbs. Even salad dressing has carbs and my

taco sauce! Anyone have any good taco sauce or seasoning recipes? That

is something that will be hard for my husband to give up, but our taco salads

were great last night. Next time just minus the taco seasoning and sauce.

We threw out our old scale when we moved, so I will have to go buy another

one tomorrow. That will be exiting to see the numbers drop!

[Guest guest]

try old el paso and salsa for seasoning. Pace thick and

chuncky salsa has 3 carbs per 2 table spoons

I just joined this list, have been on another for a while. Have been on

Atkins for 1 month, have no idea how much I have lost because I can't face a

scale. Have a reference pair of pants that I am using as a judge of how much

I have lost. Maybe I will weigh in the future.

I HAVE BEEN ON THIS DIET FOR ABOUT 2 MONTHS, BUT I AM A CHEATER!

I HAVE LOST ABOUT 10 PONUNS, BUT I HAVE ABOUT 10 MORE TO GO AND I NEED TO GET

SERIOUS

Hi Everyone!

I am new to this list and to the Atkins' Diet. This is my 7th day on

induction and I have lost 4 lbs. so far. My goal weight is 125, so I have 20

lbs. to go. I reached ketosis on the second day of my diet and have stayed

in the dark to darkest levels the whole week. I am going out of town for 10

days, but feel confident I can stay on this diet. I don't feel hungry and I

don't have any cravings. I didn't really believe all the claims that Dr.

Atkins made in his book because I've been deceived many times by diets, diet

products, etc., but I am happy to say that he was telling the TRUTH!!! )

I bought Ketosis strips at Target the other day. Most of you may know

this, but the pharmacist cautioned me to drink plenty of water on this diet.

When too many ketones build up in your system it is bad for your kidneys and

they will shut down. He said if you have a fruity taste in your mouth you

have too many ketones and need to drink water.

Someone asked about Chromium Picolinate and I know a lot of information

and sites dealing with the mineral have been posted, but I bought a bottle of

it yesterday and wanted to share what it said on the side.

CHROMIUM PICOLINATE: is an essential trace mineral shown to potentiate the

actions of insulin and help control carbohydrate metabolism.

DIABETICS: Consult your physician before taking.

I have the two cookbooks that go along with the diet, but I am always

looking for more recipes. Thank you for the great cookbook on the shared

list!

WTG Marilyn.......you are on the right track. Keep up the good work. Very

interesting about the fruity taste, I had never heard that before. Thanks for

the information.

I dont' know about anyone else, but that just encouraged me to drink more

water!!

Hi and Greg,

Welcome to the Atkin's Way of Life List! It's so good to have another

husband and wife team doing weight loss together. My wife Terri and I are

doing Atkin's together. She's been on it 2 weeks and lost 9lbs. I've been on

it since May 23 and I've lost 45lbs. It's really awesome to watch yourself

just " melting " away! LOL Looking forward to hearing more about your

progress!

Hello all!

I am new to this list, I have enjoyed reading all of your posts and I must be

glad Kathie is back too...ha ha! Missed all of the excitement

Well I am in my first week and I have lost 5 pounds already, I don't feel

like it though! I don't even feel like I am on a diet eating bacon and

eggs! I have a long way to go though. I need to loose 60 pounds. Has

anyone else lost a considerable amount of weight on this diet? I would love

to hear an encouraging success story!

:)Christi

Oh and has anyone heard of having leg cramps, I did last night and thought it

could be from lack of calcium?? Does anyone know about taking Tums? OR does

that have too many carbs?

[Guest guest]

Yes I do remember. It does not look like we will make it there this year

Too many other things going on this summer. This is a great list!!

I don't know how many carbs Tums have, but after being on the diet for a

week, I haven't had heartburn once! This despite all the pepperoni I'm

eating! And I used to get heartburn at least a couple times a week.

Me too!! I love chocolate, my major weakness besides fruit. I will have a

hard time giving that up, and to top it off my mother in law is sending me a

pound of my favorite chocolates from see's candies!! YIKES!! I hope I can

resist the temptation. I know I will since I have worked so hard at

induction, I don't want to blow it now. I have to keep my eyes on the goal.

I did try the Atkins chocolate shake today, it was very good and helped my

craving. I mixed it with ice and half cream half water. Better than I

thought it would be.
