On Atkins the hardest thing was getting through the first few low carb days. Surprisingly the hardest days for me were the up days. The down days were very easy because I knew exactly what to do. Eat 500 calories. I liked greek yogurt and fruit inthe morning with a little wheat germ. Dinners were made easy with progresso soups that were under 100 calories a serving.
I think the up days were harder because of my forbidden foods mentality. For years we are bombarded with the good foods bad foods way of thinking. Which makes us feel guilty if we eat something on the criminal food list. This diet is reforming my way of thinking about foods. I am making good choices on both days.
The only thing I'm not doing is the shakes for the first two weeks. I am only focusing on the calorie limit. It seems to be working. I'm down to 156.4 So al least for me skipping the shakes and focusing on food during the first two weeks durung induction worked even though the book indicated it most likely would not.
