After tonight, I begin my trip on the South Beach Diet. I prefer it over atkins because it is better for the heart, it has three phases that allow for a lifelong dedication to the diet, and carbs are allowed. Also eventually, some sugars.

However, to get to those more desirable phases, I begin my two week ritual of purification. That means:
-ixnay on the oozebay
-ixnay on the ugarsay
-ixnay on iceray and otatoespay

But meat and veggies and cheeses are okay.

But tonight, I think I'll have a few friends I won't be seeing for a while: ice cream and mac 'n cheese. When I wake up from my diabetic coma, I'll begin this diet proper.

Good luck! I'm on Day Five (well, okay, I cheated at the game tonight, but not badly and I'll go back strict tomorrow) and I'm finding it easier going than I thought it would be. After some initial adjustment, the two weeks will fly, I'm sure.

Are you doing South Beach, too?

I had planned to do Atkins, but I think I may switch to South Beach, because I'm not thrilled with the food combinations in Atkins. Too much beef fat for my taste. I'd rather switch to something with leaner meats and nuts included. I have both books, so I'm going to reread both and decide. But Induction's really the same for both.

Well, good luck to you, too, then! Keep up the good work. :-)

I'll be starting a program on Monday. I'm not doing any specific commercial diet with a name. Just going to eat 5 small meals a day and get enough protein and not exceed 3000 calories a day. I'll also be working out 5 days a week.

Now I just hope I can stick with it.

Well, I send you all my encouragement. Will a triple dog dare help? :-)
