I have to stay under 20 net carbs for 7-14 days on the induction diet and no more than three cups of veggies/ day. This diet is really hard because I don't like meat or fatty foods and that's pretty much all I'm allowed. My stomach is so bloated I look pregnant. I hope this pays off.

Encourage, encourage! I upped net carbs to 25 the second week; am at 40 now after 4 weeks. Try a variety of meats: fish (different kinds especially tuna), lamb, pork, shellfish (potassium), turkey, chicken, veal, duck. You can marinate pork shoulder in soy sauce and ginger and broil it; eat with tofu noodles. Get fat from butter, cream, cream cheese, cheese, fried pork rinds (NO CARBS). Get through the first week or two and you will be on your way. Watch the total nutrition chart. Get through 4 weeks and you will feel great. Good luck. Exercise.

Thanks for all of your help. This diet just isn't for me- I woke up about three times last night STARVING and decided any diet where I'm eating this much and feeling this terrible isn't worth it. In fact I figured it's pretty much the opposite of what I need so I'm going vegetarian! haha I already feel like a million bucks from my one bowl of oatmeal + crazins and I'm not hungry for the first time in a few days. Thanks again for your help and encouragement though- best of luck to you!

different strokes for different folks Rick |
198 on bathroom scale minimum weight on morning. The weight I have been tracking is at 4 PM and it was 204.0, only .4 lb in a week. If my goal is 180 in the afternoon my min might be 174, out of the range of overweight. Maintaining potassium at about 7% RDA intake. Vitamin D is low; working and spaing more out in sun, I might get enough. Looking into supplements. If I continue losing weight I can increase my milk intake, and yogurt. Trying to maintain 35 to 40 net carbs until I lose 2 pounds on the more accurate scale.

200 on medical scale at gym late afternoon, 201.0 on my accurate scale before lunch, 198 on bathroom scale. I have lost about 22 pounds in 4.5 weeks. Hardly any hunger except just at meal time.

I am not getting any support here on my atkins diet. My potassium is up in the low 70's% from supplements. I need to start back taking the calcium and Vitamin D. 198 on bathroom scale in morning, 201.2 on accurate scale in afternoon.

Congrats -- you are doing great. |
