Hi all! My husband and I started the Atkins' program this past Saturday. I tested positive for ketosis last night and am very pleased to actually *see* something happening! Friday was also the last day I had any caffeine and I've really felt out of sorts since, so please excuse me if I sound a bit air-headed ;). I now that's also a part of induction so I'll plug through.
My biggest hurdle right now is snacking. I've got three very young children (one set of twins) and have discovered how much I actually nibbled throughout the day while fixing them meals and snacks. We bought a bag of pork rinds/scratchings but can't eat too many at one time because we get sick of the taste. I've tried slices of cheese and hard-boiled eggs but am already trying to think of some variety. I know snacking isn't terribly good because I'm trying to stay under 20 grams (and I'm drinking a lot of water to make me feel more full) so I'm hoping to find some alternatives.
