I've been doing Atkins wrong. I read the book yesterday, something I probably should have done before I started.
I didn't think it was that big a deal to have a breath mint, or some cottage cheese, as long as I was pretty close on the carbs. Or to go to 24 net carbs., which I figured was pretty close. Well, I guess pretty close only counts in horse shoes and hand grenades.
Because after 5 days of doing this, I'm STILL not in ketosis where my body is using its own fat, and I realized that not following the rules precisely has bitten me in the ass, so I'm starting over.
Better late than never. I only lost 5 days, and I still feel great, but I'm starting over, as of today.
Today is now Day 1 of Induction. Again.
This time, I'm following it to the letter. Water only, which totally sucks. I honestly don't know how someone could give up bread, sugar, alcohol, soda, and juice all in the same day. Hell, I gave up sugar almost a year ago, and that was incredibly hard all by itself! Now I'm used to that, but I'm having trouble giving up breath mints! And diet lemonade. And diet soda. The book said I could have certain ones, but I'm playing it safe and just having water.
Wish me luck!
