Today is my 140th day on Atkins Induction. Ten times longer than the 14 days the Atkins book calls for. They said it was OK to continue Induction Phase so since it has worked well for me I continued. I have never varied from my plan for the entire period. The highest Carb count I had one day was 16 grams. Atkins allows 22 grams during induction. Dilligence has paid off for me.

Today is another 2 pound loss down to 241 from 307 a 66 pound loss and half way to my goal.


My leg is slowly healing after dropping my motorcycle on it. Three weeks have passed and the bruising has subsided a lot and the hematoma is gradually getting smaller. My celluitis infection is starting to respond to the antibiotic cocktail I am taking four times a day. Hope it continues and clears up.

Larry, that's really wonderful!!! And I'm happy to hear that your leg is healing! I also plan on staying on induction for a long time.

I also skip breakfast because I simply do not feel hungry in the morning. So I have a brunch ~ 2 eggs (usually sunny side up) with 3 breakfast pork sausages. Drinking water with lemon or herbal tea.

Dinner I have either fish, chicken, or Atkins Meatloaf. I have learned that I was eating too many veggies for induction.
