hi, My name is Jerri -- I am Starting the Induction phase today. And I need all the support I can get.

I've tried what seems like every other diet out there & I'm just praying that this will work for me.

Hi Jerri :thup:

Congratulation on chosing this way of eating. The good news is - it does work. Other news is - it's not really a diet...more like a way of life.

Follow the book to the letter and you should see the lbs drop off.

If you have tried low fat diets before though, it may take a little longer as you've been starving your body and it will try to hang on to its fat reserves.

Enjoy yourself - you can have bacon and eggs for breakfast every day! :daze:

Welcome Jerri! :wave:

This way of eating works for many people that had no success on a low-fat/high-carb way of eating. It has for me!

:yay: Dear Jerri,

You will not regret doing the induction phase! Welcome to the Bulletin Board, everyone here is just great and very supportive. I only joined myself a couple of days ago, but have been doing Atkins for over two weeks now and lost 8.5 kgs ( 16 + pounds) in the first two weeks. If I had not seen it I would not believe it... but it works.. and guess what.. you won't be hungry between meals anymore. Sure, there is what I call the "detox" phase where I had headaches and a bad taste in my mouth, but I put up with it because the inches and weight were falling off me. I have about 60 more pounds to lose and really believe this time that this way of life will guarantee the loss - no matter how long it takes, I feel great doing this Atkins programme and intend to carry on doing it as a way of life.

Welcome :) and I wish you all the best on your Low Carb way of eating.

Karen
