Hello,
Can you eat carb controlled foods during induction?
I know that sounds like a dumb question. Logically, it seems like you can but I'm worried that it's too good to be true! My book is 6.5 years old and those foods did not exist back then so there is no mention. I tried one of the Atkins wraps from Subway (yummy!!!) last night and now I'm worried that I screwed up my induction phase. I looked up the tortillas on the Atkins website and ordered them. With all of the substitute items available now, I think I can actually stick to this thing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If I can eat tortillas, I will be down to my goal weight by this summer!!!!!!!! The possibility is just about to make me jump up and dance!
I could never stick to Atkins even though I know it works for me because I just could not handle the lack of options.
For the past few years I was 280 (I'm 5'11") and could not lose more than about 5 pounds no matter how hard I tried. Using low doses of ephedra I finally whittled down to 240. Since it's been outlawed, again, I can't manage to lose any more weight. I've steered clear of Atkins because I HATED it before (even though it worked in '97 way back when I only had 30lbs extra to worry about). Now I'm DESPERATE and started induction last Sunday. I will need all the support I can get; so will be stopping by everyday until I can look great for my BEACH WEDDING!!!
Thanks!!! (sorry for the long post)
