Just throwing in my personal experience....I found it really important to plan properly especially at the beginning. It is really tough at the beginning to not eat sweet stuff but it is sooo worth it to resist and get through 4 - 7 days of induction.

Truly I am a huge sugar/sweet/chocolate addict but my cravings vanished. It is such a wonderful feeling to not be craving my sugar drug and it is all due to resisting the sweets at the beginning.

After I had been on induction a month or so I started having some of the atkins bars which are sweet but low carb. For me - just the sweet taste was enough to launch me into a carb binge and I got cravings all over again. I went back to induction and feel great again.

Hang in there,

Sally
