  1. I am brand new to this group. I am currently 22 years old and weigh 298
    pounds. I just started the Atkins Diet and am just wondering a few things. I
    am going to go all out and cut nearly all carbs out for induction...if not
    all. Then, I intend, even after induction to keep carbs to an absolute
    minimum. I also plan to excersize daily and keep calories to a minimum..but
    not so low that starvation kicks in. While starting all of this, will the
    weight come off really fast? And if I keep myself doing this, will the
    weight come off faster than if I started eating carbs again? I was just
    curious to se what the initial weight loss can be when first starting the
    Atkins Diet. Any input would be greatly appriciated. And by the way, my
    target goal is about 180 lbs, and I want to do it as fast as possible.
    Thanks in advance for any replies.

    Hi John, welcome to the group!

    It's not a good idea to cut carbs completely (not to mention nearly IMPOSSIBLE).
    You NEED vegetables, especially for the fiber (constipation is quite common
    during induction). The main purpose of Induction is to change your eating habits
    and get your body into ketosis so that it starts burning fat for energy instead
    of glycogen. Ketosis is like pregnancy -- you either are or are not in ketosis,
    so keeping carbs excessively low serves no purpose once your body has gone into
    ketosis.

    You WILL most likely lose a lot of SCALE weight in the first couple of weeks.
    This is MOSTLY water. Each molecule of glycogen stored in the liver has 4-5
    molecules of water bound to it. As the glycogen is used up, the associated water
    is shed. Once the glycogen store is depleted, the REAL work of burning FAT
    begins. Fat will be lost more slowly. If you lose 1-2 lbs/week, that's a GOOD
    thing. Since are a guy (and a young one at that) and because you have a lot to
    lose, you may lose faster than some, at least at first, but low-carb is NOT a
    miracle weight-loss diet. That's hard to hear and accept when you want to lose
    the weight NOW, but it's a fact. The important thing is to LOOK AHEAD STAY THE
    COURSE.

    Keep reading this newsgroup for more tips and inspiration.

    Your best bet is to eat the 20 carbs a day allowed for Induction...you need
    those veggies! It's difficult to get enough fiber during Induction, so try
    to eat veggies with lots of fiber. Without fiber, (and without BMs), you're
    not going to feel very good! Most folks lose weight quickly during
    Induction. 20 carbs a day is not very many!

    Also, if you're not really following Atkins and eating the allowable carbs,
    it will probably be hard to maintain. People can get bored with the food
    choices during Induction, which is why we can move on to the next stage of
    Atkins after 2 weeks. Keeps us going. Without eating even the 20 allowable
    carbs, you could be setting yourself up for failure.

    Weight loss during Induction varies for everyone. As you will see in the
    Atkins New Diet Revolution book, there is a chart that maps out metabolic
    resistance vs. pounds lost during Induction. Give yourself two weeks in
    Induction and see what happens! It's just two weeks at 20 carbs a day...

    You sound really motivated and gung-ho! Good luck and keep exercising!

    Get a copy of Atkins book and follow it. What you are proposing to do
    is not Atkins, it's your own diet plan. Atkins doesn't cut all carbs
    during induction, nor does it keep calories to a minimum. Why
    reinvent something that is so simple already and works so well?

    I would strongly advise following Atkins the way it is written. During
    induction you should be eating 20 carbs each day. Carbs are in eggs,
    cheese, and vegetables. You should be getting most of your carbs from the
    allowed veggie list.

    After the 2 week induction period, you should INCREASE your carb intake by 5
    each week. This is how Atkins works. If you keep your carbs too low, you
    may find that you do not lose weight. Keeping carbs too low is not a
    shortcut. If you want to speed up weight loss, make sure you add in
    exercise. You may feel very crappy the first few days of induction, just
    forewarning you, that stage will pass.

  6. My advice is similar to others - EAT YOUR VEG!!! GET A KITCHEN SCALE!!! GO
    SWIMMING!!!! EAT FAT BUT NOT TOO MUCH!!

    But watch what veg you're eating, e.g. tomatoes and carrots are very carby and
    you can't really eat them while you're in induction because you can easily blow
    20g on 3 big tomatoes. So get yourself loads of veg. Not eating enough veg (0g
    carb) will give you constipation and being desperately constipated is not fun -
    you might ended up having to go to the hospital to get yourself unblocked.

    Another advice is that you should get a kitchen scale. I wish I have got one
    from day 1 but I'm going to get it today, which is almost 2 years after I
    started doing low carb (sporadically). To be successful you have to be
    meticulous about how much you're actually eating. You don't want to be stuck in
    a stall for months like me.

    Swimming if you have easy access to a pool - because (1) you're heavy, swimming
    is non weight bearing exercise where as running/cycling will damage your knees;
    (2) having to bare it all (almost) helps with building up confidence; (3)
    swimming takes co-ordination, it's not mindlessly repetitive, in order to swim
    better you need to think as you swim so you won't get bored.

    Fat - eat too much fat and your body will burning the dietary fat instead of
    burning the fat that's padding your body all over as fuel. Which means your
    weight loss would be much slower than you'd like otherwise. Eat protein as your
    main source of energy.

    Lastly, welcome to the group.

    that's a bad idea. (hint: the atkins plan includes eating vegetables.
    vegetables have carbs.)

    you didn't get fat overnight and you're not going to reverse it
    overnight. being impatient is stupid and counterproductive when it
    comes to losing weight.

    get over it and settle in for the duration. it doesn't matter how long
    it takes.

    Eating food to excess is somewhat like being on hard drugs.

    Changing habits isn't gonna be easy.

    It is best to actually get the Atkins book and read the first 12
    chapters..... it answers a lot of questions.

    Then follow it for several weeks.

    I made the mistake of thinking that since I am smart, I could figure out
    a way to lose weight fast by slightly following the Atkins plan and
    adding my own twists to it.

    After almost two months of unsatisfactory results doing it "my way", I
    followed the instructions and have had excellent success.

    RTFM.

    Often the best advice, RTFM.

    Make sure that you eat your low-carb veggies faithfully. Its really
    important for the vitamins and fiber.

    Then, I intend, even after induction to keep carbs to an absolute

    You can stay on induction longer than two weeks. But still, don't skip the
    veggies.

  10. I started at 311 and my body is willing to lose 2 pounds per week. It is
    very unusual to lose more than 1% of body weight per week. The less you
    weigh the slower the rate will be.

    I count calories too. However, at the beginning, may I suggest just
    monitoring the calories and not forcing yourself to go hungry. A way to
    monitor the calories is at http://www.FitDay.com I use their download
    version, which costs about $20.

    I feel exercise at 300 pounds is dangerous. While it might help with the
    weight loss, it is not essential.

    Support from those around you is important. Staying low carb for life is
    the only way to prevent regaining.

    Go though the kitchen and collect all the carby stuff and toss it in the
    trash can.

    Good luck,

    Some of what I've learned:
    -Watch your oils, if you have a low-carb book memorize this section
    religiously, it is perhaps more important than anything for your
    general health.

    -Dont worry about calories to start, it's too much work. Just cut out
    the carbs and eat as much as you want. What will happen is you wont
    get the 'full' feeling that carbs give you (blood sugar rush) and the
    sensation of filling your stomach up is going to get less pleasant
    over time (cause you are probably going to overfill it looking for
    that blood sugar like we all did, and learn what being full really
    means). You will end up eating less (fewer calories) because you feel
    better when you do so. This is good, once you break the sugar
    addiction and start this eating pattern your will have more energy and
    feel better.---- Remember, this big paragraph will just happen, dont
    sweat it.

    -Learn to cook if you dont know, there is an infinate variety of yummy
    low-carb food out there waiting to be made. Get a nice meat
    thermometer or 2 and become an expert meat cook (The Complete Meat
    Cookbook and a 20 digital probe thermometer/alarm will do this for ya)

    -cheese, hot sauce, sausage make a nice late-night snack, and fill you
    up. Mexican carnitas, sour cream and pork skins is another snack,
    buffalo wings, quiche, etc.

    And take a 'before' picture, cause next year people ain't gonna
    recognize you 🙂

  12. Thanks to all of you that replied. I was never really much of a dairy eater.
    I would always eat ice cream, but Not any more, lol. Pizza I would always
    eat, but now it looks like pizza without the crust, hehe. And meatloaf, I
    love meatloaf. Does anyone know, or has anyone tried making meatloaf without
    the bread crumbs, or is there a substitute that will give it the same
    texture as having bread in it?

    Keto makes crumbs in various flavors that are low carb and can be used
    in place of bread crumbs. You can also make meatloaf without bread
    crumbs. The LC cooking show made one a few weeks ago. The recipe
    should be on foodtv.com.

    I feel exercise at 300 pounds is dangerous. While it might help with the
    weight loss, it is not essential.

    I know what you mean (I think), but I don't agree. At 300 pounds yes, it's
    far easier to get injured and create a lot of pain when you exercise. The
    300 lb. person isn't usually going to be able to go out and walk a mile,
    unless he's a great big, muscular guy. But that doesn't mean he/she cannot
    exercise. Just that he's going to have to be smarter about it, and also more
    patient.

    Everybody, virtually, can add exercise. No, it's not essential to life, but
    it is important... as important as eating your vegetables and eating regular
    meals and drinking plenty of water. Exercise revs up your metabolism, builds
    a little muscle, increases circulation, and elevates your mood. It also
    turns down your appetite.

    One of the best exercises is walking. Too much can cause pain for very heavy
    people, so it's necessary to start small... maybe just around the block, or
    down to the end of the block, or even just down the driveway and back.
    Whatever you can do without too much discomfort. Then do it every day or
    better yet, every other day and alternate it with something else like
    swimming or biking. Increase by small increments on a weekly (or longer if
    necessary) basis. Don't increase by more than 10% per week. Swimming is
    good, if you have access to a pool, because body weight stress on joints is
    eliminated. Biking can work for many people, but don't try to do hills and
    keep it slow and easy at first.

    If you can't even do the walking, there are videos aimed at seated exercise,
    for people in wheel chairs, that I understand can really get the blood
    pumping. Lifting light weights for upper body strength may be quite
    possible - not only will it get your circulation, but you'll build a little
    more metabolically active muscle. You can gradually increase the weights.
    Stretching or yoga is great even for big people. It gets you in touch with
    your body and also helps prevent injury.

    If you start small, just a little more than you're doing now as part of
    everyday living, you'll be able to do more and more. Just don't get
    impatient and do too much and injure yourself. Exercise is one of the best
    things a dieter can do for him/herself.

    now it looks like pizza without the crust, hehe.


    Trader Joes has low-carb pizza dough. You can make it yourself with
    some of the protien-rich flours too. But, make this a special treat,
    you wont loose weight eating the foods designed to mimic carby food,
    too often they are almost as bad (even if they 'seem' ok through some
    net-carb trick)

    Does anyone know, or has anyone tried making meatloaf without
    the bread crumbs,

    Yeah, I make it all the time.
    1- You dont need bread-crumbs for meatloaf. Egg/meat/seasonings is
    all that is required. Try it before you add low-carb fake bread
    products.
    2- Buy a pack of bacon and wrap your meatloaf completly with bacon
    before putting it in the oven. Soooo good. Experiment with different
    meats.
    3- Google for 'low carb recipe forum'. There are a huge amount of
    low-carb resources and recipies on the web.
    4- Dont worry too much about the sugar content of sauces (unless you
    are eating a LOT of sauce). It's better to get some bad carbs from
    that ketchup on your meatloaf than do without IMO. Same goes for beer
    😉

    Speaking of bread crumbs, BJ's (a store here in New England like Costco or
    Sam's Club) had some low carb bread crumbs. I thought they'd be great for
    an occasional foray into fried chicken, but the bread crumbs had partially
    hydrogenated oils. Almost any processed food has the latter.
