Welcome aboard Gail!

Yeah induction can be tough. It is just such a drastic change from what we were eating. Eat when you are hungry though, you shouldn't be hungry. It is a big step to start thinking of this as a way of life instead of a diet. I know that if I want to keep my weight down that I am never going to be a person who can eat pasta, bread, potatoes, or rice. But, there are so many great foods we can have. I like things made with cream cheese and I love seafood. Butter is great too.

I look at it this way - what the heck did pasta, bread, potatoes, rice, etc. ever give me besides a big butt? A momentary taste treat perhaps but most of the time it was nothing great. Once you get into ketosis, your cravings will decrease and with time, you will prefer the Atkin's protein and fat anyway. Just a day at a time! Cindi
