HOORAY! 6 Weeks In and Down 37.5 & Wife Down 16.
6 weeks in and Atkins is definitely working for us. We have stuck with the Induction phase since we have so much to lose. Hoping the rest of you are also experiencing the same success. Love seeing others success as well!!

Keep going. Sharing my success of being over 7 years from starting Induction and have not backtracked while remaining in Induction (very strict low carb/keto, which is what Induction is) to present time. When staying consistent, you'll find it's easy to sustain, manage, and delicious food is always available. Induction worked for me. so I stayed with the basic principles, and while I may occasionally have some foods (still low carb) that aren't always recommended for Induction, remaining consistent has made all the difference. If you feel restricted in food choices, check the many recipes available on this forum or the DietDoctor.com website. It's a horn of plenty. Anyone who says this WOE is unsustainable is not trying. Enjoy the journey.

Thanks so much for sharing your story. So far we are doing great. The hardest part has been not being able to go to our favorite food places and find anything that we can eat. Texas Roadhouse is ok, but we certainly miss our Red Robin and Pizza places. Thanks for sharing your success! |
Burgers without buns and pizza toppings without the crust are delicious treats in my experience. :yum:
|
With time pizza places and Red Robin will become a thing of the past. I cant find what Im looking for unless its a steakhouse. Far better is gave one of my boys throw a steak on. I jyst have to serve myself. Better than going out.

We have found the same thing! Do you have Jimmy John’s near you? They have a sandwich called the Unwich. 2-4 carbs as it’s not on a bun, rather a lettuce wrap! Steaks are our “go-to”, add a side salad without croutons and you’re all set. Great job everyone! |
Good stuff. I remember thinking when I'd lost about that much, that low carb eating wasn't so much a matter of willpower anymore, as I was clearly getting the results. I had the routine more or less figured out by now, all I needed from this point on was just patience!
You've been doing it now for hopefully long enough to recognise that this is a direction worth sticking to, so just stay the course from here, and who knows where you'll end up. :) |

For me, one of the great things about getting older is I no longer care what anybody thinks. I eat how I eat. And, unless I'm among vegetarians, I find I can do low carb pretty much anywhere, without much change to my lifestyle or anyone else's. |

I was looking at older threads and ran across this pizza dough recipe. Looks good. I haven’t tried but Kristie does well with her low carb recipes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYX3LEsFU8s |

Red Robin does a great lettuce-wrapped burger. |

Losing 37.5 pounds in 6 weeks! That's 6 1/4 pounds a week! Incredible! Your wife's weight loss seems more in line with the usual pattern, but your loss is miraculous Of course I have no idea of how much weight you need to lose but this is impressive! Congratulations! |
Benay, you can see his Stats in the upper right of post, starting at 395. and you can read every post by clicking on his profile name. Last heard, down over 100 pounds, that was in October. https://forum.lowcarber.org/showthread.php?t=483099

Jey, so you are saying "Losing 37.5 pounds in 6 weeks!" is not unusual?
