Well, I just finished up my results for the first 14 days of induction. I was quite pleased with the results. Because I'm doing so well I'm going to stick with induction for another 2 weeks. 20-25 net carbs works well for me, and I don't feel deprived yet.

Woot Woot!! NICE job!! I've fallen off the wagon. Again. I climb back on tomorrow. I'd love to keep hanging you with you Monte, you skinny little thang!!

Awesome! I've done Atkins before and I know it's not easy. Good. For. You.

Thanks! It seems easy so far, except that I have to cook a lot more. I like cooking once I actually get started, but I'm sort of lazy when I get home from work. I always used to keep frozen pizzas around for emergency lunches, but now that option is out the window.

I'm going to cook lunches on Sundays and cook easy stuff for dinner - chicken, steak, chicken wings... It doesn't take long.

Great numbers!! Well done!! Keep it up!!

I've officially been on induction for 2 weeks as of today and my numbers aren't nearly that amazing! Good job

I think I must have been cutting corners without realizing it so I'm going to do the 'real deal' induction without diet sodas or Atkins bars, maybe count calories, and definitely exercise more.

I will post my results here in 2 weeks...hopefully they'll be good!

You don't have near as far to go as I do, so that probably plays in. But cutting out the sodas and Atkins bars is always a good idea.

Are you counting calories?

Yes I count calories. Try to keep below 1500 though I don't mind if I go over every once in a while. Calories in versus calories out is obviously the key to weight loss, I just find that if I eat low carb I'm able to restrict my calories without any trouble. Plus it tastes good!

Hi everyone!

I know I said that I would post my results after 2 weeks, but I'm already seeing some great results after 1 week! I think cutting out both the aspartame sodas and Atkins bars is really doing the trick. I'm down 4 pounds and 2 inches around my gut woot woot!

Also, I haven't explicitly been counting calories but the app I use counts calories in addition to carbs...usually I stay in between 1000 and 1500, but sometimes I go as high as 2200 on exercise days.

If you read the Atkins book you don't count calories on Atkins, you count your carbs.

I've read the book. I just find that it doesn't work for me unless I count both. For me the point is to lose weight, not to follow a program to a T.

Alright! Finished that second 2 weeks! down an extra 2.5 pounds for a total of 9 pounds this month. Considering that I haven't been exercising, I think that's pretty good!

Awesome!
