just started atkins today and i have made it thru 2 meals. b-fast was 2 eggs, 2 bacon, 1 sausage and water....lunch was baked fish and salad consisting of lettuce, cherry tomatoes (6), cheese, chives and blue cheese dressing. Am i doing okay??? i'm so scared that i'm gona fail with this diet. I really don't want to. I'm taking it one meal at a time.

Have you read the book?

You should be careful with sausage, some include sugar.

Good luck!

yes i have read part of the book. ( bought it last night). Thanks for the info about the sausage. I don't really like it anyway. i'm having a hard time finding foods that i like. i'm a major carb addict. i don't know how i'm
going to live without potatoes!!!!!!!

You'll be fine! Check out the list of foods you can have and enjoy the butter and steak and fish and cheese and....

I'm fairly new too, Rockelle, but I suggest you look at the recipe sections on the board. They offer a lot of carb substitutes. I've been doing well without too many carb cravings, but I just ordered a box of Atkins breakfast bars (1 carb each). Even if you can't have them on induction, you can in two weeks!

this is my fourth day and i think i'm done with withdraws. my ketostix turned a light pink so i think i'm well on my weigh. just for you others out there that are just beginning. Don't give up for the first couple of days. i had a horrible headache for 2 1/2 days. on the afternoon of the third day, my headache went away and i started feeling better....
