Inductivity.

[swestrup]

Well, I restarted Atkins today and so far, so not so bad. I've only consumed 16 of my 20 allotted carbs for the day, which means I can have a 4-carb snack if I want. I think a great help has been the fact that we have Camenbert in the house, and a whole wheel of that stuff isn't even one carb, so I can pretty much scarf some whenever I get the munchies, and I don't even have to count it.

as long as you're losing that's fine...but like most people you probably will stall eventually..dr atkins later said not to eat more than 2-3 ounces of cheese per day...still..it's easier for men :)

I've got the latest book by Atkins, and he only talks about avoiding more than 4 oz of cheese during induction, and the rational he gives is that some people have to avoid too much cheese or they don't lose weight. I did the checking when I first started 6 months ago, and that's not a problem for me, so I'm being far more lenient during this induction.

Really, I seem to have already started losing weight by just not indulging as much as during the holidays, but I promised myself as I was scarfing goodies, that I would compensate by doing a week of induction in the new year and so I'm gonna do it.

up to 4 ounces while you're still losing.
yes.
4 ounces really isn't that much...when I started the diet in 98 it was free for all, over the years the rules have changed.
In the end, your mileage may vary.. i lost 70 pounds my first time around but I did it right...I didn't cheat, not a bite for 6 months...I had my one golden shot and I blew it after those 6 months...I'm always worried about people low carbing, almost none of us ever follow the menus...since I began I've developed (atkins would say discovered) food intolerances and stomach problems, just be careful :)

too much of anything is no good

Camembert is spelled with a "m" before the "b" like it is the rule in French (the only exception I know is bonbon)

Sorry

I rewrote that word 6 times trying to figure out the spelling. In the end I figured that 'camembert' just looked wrong. I should have taken the trouble to look it up.

yeah. French isn't an easy language to learn :-)
