Atkins Induction Help!!
Ladies - I am desperate and want to do it to kick start some weight loss. WW isn't really working for me right now and I need to be really controlled.
How hard is this??
Also, why can't you eat diet cheese in induction?
Thanks!
Any hints, advice, etc would be greatly appreciated!

I don't know about Atkins but you can eat cheese on the South beach diet, maybe that would be better for you?

Re: Atkins Induction Help!!
I've done South Beach in the past and before the wedding it worked for me, after it didn't!!
I think I need something super strict right now to jump start things and then I may even go back to SBD!

Re: Atkins Induction Help!!
i did atkins last week and without exercising i lost about 6 lbs.. i wanted to make sure i fit into my wedding dress.. and the honeymoon is in Italy so there was no way i was doing no carb- i'll restart once i get back.
with that said, i did eat cheese. i bought 0 carb parmesan cheese and used that and also found <1 carb mozzerella cheese and would snack on that. i think i did pretty well.

Re: Atkins Induction Help!!
It didn't say you couldn't have cheese - it said that you couldn't have diet cheese - that's what I was questioning...

Re: Atkins Induction Help!!
low fat cheese has more carbs then regular cheese....actually most things labeled low fat have more carbs.
ETA....to reply to your other questions. I have been LC'ing off & on since right after christmas and lost about 25 pounds -- it would probably be a lot more if I stayed on program the whole time...i had a few long weekends away & several celebrations where I ate what ever I wanted.
But the first 2 - 3 weeks I lost about 10 pounds.
For me, it's not 'that' hard to follow. It's easier if I plan my meals ahead...breakfast is usually dannon's low carb yogurt or some cheese, lunch would be left over dinner, hot dogs or tuna salad, dinner is anything...grilled chicken, pork chops, a hamburger, steak etc with a salad.
LMK, if you have any questions
