Hi everyone! I am new here. I have done the atkins diet about 2 years ago, and did pretty good with it, until vacation time, and I fell off and never started again. I bought the book,just before the new one came out. I just came from the Atkins site, where I was looking at induction menus....wow lots of changes! I remember induction as being eggs, meat, cheese, small salads, and some veggies. Now he has the shakes and some bran-a-crisp crackers. Has he raised the number so carbs per day? Is this the way you all do induction? What other changes are in the New Atkins? Thanks to all of you, for being here to answer the questions from newbies like me.
