I'm in the second week of induction and things have been going well for me
with a loss of 14 lbs - though I've been stalled the last few days.
This puzzles me because I've been keeping the ketostix purple to the tune of
"light" to "moderate" on the bottle color chart.

I was wondering what kind of delay there is from the point of cheating on
the diet, to the point of noticing that your out of ketosis by reading the

I've been doing Atkins since 2/29.  The first two weeks on induction I lost
6.5 lbs out of my goal of 24.5.  I have contined to stay on induction (this
is the third week), and have seen the scale go up and down by 1 or two
pounds daily, without a further drop in weight.

So here I am, low carb, confident and looking good at 124 pounds. I've

OK, so I'm not doing so bad.  I've not shouted, screamed or drawn blood
since I last smoked ( I don't like to think of myself as a non-smoker, just

What is the low-down on sugars that cause digestive distress?
I tried some non-sugar hard candies the other day that were sweetened with
something called sucralose. After just eating a few I knew it was affecting
me badly.

What is everyone's favorite breakfast food?  I have been eating eggs and
bacon for almost a week.  Is there another solution for
breakfast...something as convenient as eggs and bacon?  I have looked at
several recipes, but everything looks like it takes at least four

Omelet with diced roasted pork.  Shredded baby swiss on top.

With so many new reduced carb products coming out these days that
include Sugar Alcohol, I was wondering if anyone has found an over the
