Hi all! I am a n00b to this forum. Thanks for having it. Today is day 11 of Induction on the Atkins diet.

How is induction going? Feeling better yet? Took me two full weeks before I got over the shock of quitting carbs cold turkey.

Hi Yopaulie, Thanks for posting :)
Today is day 13 I believe and I am doing pretty well. I do feel a bit better. Yesterday was the first time that I ate out while on Induction and I was successful. So much so that my ketosis was large versus moderate like before.

Made a trip to whole foods and got a lot of great stuff to supplement my meal plan for this week and I am determined to stick with it.

What stage are you at??

I just finished up 4 weeks of being pretty loyal to the induction program. I had a couple cheats here and there but never took a bite of sugar. Now I am planning on adding a few things back into my diet, but still no sugar.

Keep up your great work!

Congratulations ~ 4 weeks!! That's tremendous. I'd actually like to keep doing it til I just can't anymore. Yesterday and the day before were great days. I started back eating a lil more than I have been before and I feel good. Getting my appetite back a bit.

I went to Fairway Markets and got some sugar free items, however, I made a sugar free cheesecake last night and I am not liking the after taste of the Stevia. Yuck! Glad to know that I can make a great cheesecake, BUT I may just hold off on those kinda goodies for a long while.

Walden Farms has a whole line of sugar free things, and they aren't expensive. Got quite a few things, just trying to come up with a good way of mixing them in with my regular meals.

Hoping to work out today. if not at the park, I will do a work out at the house and fulfill my commitment to do at least a half hour work out everyday.
