hello all. I decided to try Atkins on april 4, 2005 and only lost 5 pounds the first week. I got all depressed about this because I figured I'd lose all my water the first week which should have equaled 10 pounds. This is what I learned from all the other fad diets I've been on. Well I did more research on Atkins.com, talked to people that were on Atkins and joined some forums. I got really enlightened. I realized that with this diet it's more of a lose inches and slow weight loss which I think is great. Fast weight loss isn't good for anybody. Well I'm hoping this diet works for me. I've been on and off diets for most of my life. The smallest I've ever been was 100 pounds when I got sick which is way too skinny and I cried and wished I would gain some weight never realizing I would gain 100 pounds. :lol: So I'm here, I have the Dr Atkins New Diet Revolution edition 2002 and am learning more and more. I'm still on induction and probably will be for awhile. One thing I did pick up yesterday after reading the book was the ketostik and have no clue how they're supposed to work. Is it better to have a dark purple colour or a light pink. Even the instructions in the box weren't all that helpful. Also realized in the first two weeks of induction that I was doing a few things wrong. I didn't realize how important exercise was so I am now walking on my treadmill for 50 minutes a day. I also started a multivitam and am taking flaxseed oil. and boy am I babbling. But hello to everyone and I would appreciate some info on those ketostik. Also, does everyone on atkins drink decaf or can i eventually go back to my caffeine. I have more questions but that'll be for another time.
