Hello, -- new here-- how's everyone doing today?

I am geering up to start myself off on this lc lifestyle and would love any pre LC advice. I have been upping my water intake, which before recently was nil. so I am getting used to drinking water. (the only liquid I would drink before was milk and coffee and the occasional cocktail)
I am going on a trip in four days, for about a week. So I am planning on starting the diet about three days after I get back so I have time to get settled back here and throw everything out. (I plan on doing alot of throwing out before I go). I have the husband on board with me and plan on introducing my son who is twelve to this way of eating as well.

I am in the process of readng the atkins diet but am somewhat familiar with this "diet", but would love to hear any ways that you felt helped making it through the first week or two of induction, before I start this.. would be helpful!
Thanks
