OKay, been in ATkins Induction since Monday the 11th. not bad. Little mixed up about the carbs, still taking in too many. have to keep reading to keep them under 20. I'm disappointed about the veggie restrictions. I love green beans and can't have them yet. broccoli and cauliflower are okay, spinach is okay. guess i will really learn to love those 3 now until i get my beloved green beans back.

so will keep plugging along.

i weighed on monday morning (NAKED -yuck) when I started ATkins, and I"m going to weight on Saturday. i think once a week is enough.

you know what prompted me to do this?
jealousy.
my friend told me she lost 50 lbs in 6-8 wks by walking 2-3 miles a day, 6 days a week.
I walk 2 miles a day during my 2 15 minute breaks at work and i haven't lost any weight.
She was always bigger than me.
honestly i can't tell she's lost any, but I think, if she is set on doing it, I should do it too. We can be happy healthy old ladies in 20 yrs instead of overweight middle ages friends right now.

You can have green beans. I do often and did on induction. I think from memory they were missed off the list. Good on you for starting!

I am doing an Atkins-style diet. I have limited my carbs to about 40-50 per day on average which makes for less restrictiveness. More choices make it easier to stick with whatever plan you decide on. That is why I failed in the past. I can't feel so confined. I'm not sure what atkins actually says about green beans, but I think you should go for them! With some bacon and onion too!!!
