Thread: I am re-Inducting tomorrow

any advice? I am going back into my fitday.com account and looking at what I was eating when I first started last April.

No advice--but I'm reinducting, too, starting Monday, in support of my hubby, who is starting Atkins for the first time.

Best wishes to all of us!

P. S. I think reinduction will be kind of hard for me, since there are goodies (like cottage cheese, pistachios, mixed berries) that I will definitely miss! I DO need to get back on the program

P. P. S. I recommend revisiting the book, or the Atkins website, to review legal induction foods!

I'M ON THE SAME BOAT! I HAVE STARTED LOW CARB TODAY AND I AM EXCITED BUT I DO HAVEA FEW QUESTIONS IF ANYONE HAS ANY SUGGESTIONS.

I LEAVE FOR THE BAHAMAS MONDAY THE 12TH FOR ONE WEEK AND I'LL BE BACK ON THE 19TH. SHOULD I WAIT TO START UNTIL THEN OR DO IT NOW?
I WANT TO START NOW FOR WEIGHTLOSS PURPOSES BUT I DON'T WANT TO BE WASTING MY TIME BEDCAUSE I KNOW I'LL BE DRINKING ON THIS CRUISE. ANY IDEAS ON WHAT TO EAT AND WHAT NOT TO DO ON THIS TRIP!

I'M FAIRLY NEW TO THIS SO BE PLEASE BE PATIENT WITH ME ~~~ I KNOW I'LL HAVE ALOT OF QUESTIONS...

THANKS GUYS AND GALS!

pOSH, it's entirely up to you if you want to wait 'til you get back. BUT, here's what I would do: Drink diet soda with the booze or wines(alcohol gets burned first before fat and calories) so moderation might be key. Eat to your hearts content: salads, (not pasta ones), meat, veggies, berries, nuts, and don't worry too much about creamy sauces if they make them with cream. I'm sure you could chat with the chef who would be happy to let you know what's in the stuff. Who knows, they might even have some LC proper stuff. I wonder if you could ask the chef if they have Splenda or any other sugar subs, if he would make you some sugar- free whipped cream to put on fruits. (berries)

Then when you get back, go at it full force!!

Drink WATER, LOTS!!!!

Have FUN!!!

Good luck startedAkinsinapril!! I too am re-starting, re-inducting today - a new year, a new start! I've been off-plan for 2 months and re-gained + a few. I'm so anxious to get back on track and make 2004 the year I finally reach my goals. I'm also celebrating my 40th birthday in August, so that's my ultimate challange - to make goal by my 40th birthday. My husband is already planning a big bash with lots of family & friends that I haven't seen in ages - I want to look the part of the "happy birthday girl"!!

OK SO We got this figured out! Continue to eat protein will help~~~however the drinks i like are the fruity ones. should i stick to shots? (ha ha!) I don't know if any are good for you but there has to be one better then the other!

Alcohol of any kind is discouraged during Induction
