I have found help for my Carb. addiciton! :O)

I have been using the induction phase on Atkins.com.   After three days it took all my cravings away.   I am not "doing" the actual Atkins diet as I wil NEVER go on a diet again since I don't need to with this wonderful tool I have!   But......this phase seems to detox my body and I just don't crave carbs at all.    I have not been rigid after the first few days....I will have a bite of something here and there but that is it!   This has helped me do what we are all suppose to do after wls.  No grazing, protein and some fruits and veggies!   That feels SO good to me!  
Hope this helps those of you who may be struggling with the evil carb monster!

I am gonna have to give it a whirl.................  I have so been eating the carbs and that's not a good thing.  Thanks for sharing.......................

So true how carbs really can throw us off, even with the tools we have. It feels so much better to be off the excess carbs. I feel tired, crabby and lazy when I eat them. Plus gaining weight! I wonder what it is about carbs. I do think for me it's an addiction. Tracy

LJ,

Thanks for sharing......I went on the site and printed out everything for phase 1 induction......I also have been eating too many carbs.....

Thanks again, Kelly

The first phase is very strict...but it does the trick!  It says to do it for 15 days, I did it for four.   The first day was horrible...I could have cried!   LOL.....but really!  
Today this is what I have eaten and I am honestly stuffed........
two eggs
turkey bacon
(Sometimes when I am sick of eggs I make "Muffin in a Minute"  You can look that up on Atkins if you want the recipe.....simple and takes one minute!  :O)

coffee with cream

pork chop

Atkins bar (advantage bar.....15 grams of protein of something)

Jello with real whip cream on top

I am so full right now and I still could have dinner...... we'll see!

I also have shrimp alot and dip it in butter!  YUMO!

No snacking needed on this plan!  Yay

 Congrats on finding your groove, LJ!

Thank you Lisa Joy....I am going to check this out!
