Just starting out
 

I was just getting ready to start the Akins diet and a friend suggested I wait till after Thanksgiving. I know I will not be able to keep up the Induction on that day for many reasons (where I'll be, who I'll be with etc) but I thought I could do it until then and then go back on Friday and do a complete 14 days then. This would give me 7 days before and 14 days after. Would this be hurting me, should I wait until that Friday to start completely? Thank You for any help you can provide.

Dont wait
 

Dont put off till tomorrow what you can do today :thup: Try to think of this as a way of life... not just a diet for a set period of time. Make it a lifestyle change and start right now. I'll be you'll find lots of low carb stuff at your Thanksgiving meal.

Welcome stevie, :wave:
I am not sure about this.
Personally I think that you should wait until after Thanksgiving, only because you are not very experience with the pitfall of dieting in a festive environment.
You could study everything on the site to get a better understanding.
Thanksgiving supper will give you a good idea of what life will be like for you while on Atkins. The do's and don't.

Induction is easier if you do it in one shot .
The second time around is a bit more difficult.

Get your house ready ,
then go for it with no turning back. :sunny:
