g9 I want to offer my best wishes to you. I hope Atkins will work for you. It is the only way I have ever been able to control myself foodwise and lose weight.

First I recommend supplements: I take a multivitamin, potassium, and calcium/magnesium/zinc.

Second, drink water. Dr.A says at least 8 glasses a day.

Third exercise (after you get through carbwithdrawal).

Fourth Expectations. This way of eating zaps the weight off some people really fast and some really slow. Around the third to fifth week, your weight may do strange things- like going up a lot, or you'll stop losing. This is so normal so don't let it throw you if it happens. Stick with the plan and the weight loss will resume when your body is ready.

During induction avoid the lowcarb processed foods. Some people don't lose when they have these.

If your hungry EAT.
