Is It Normal (Atkins Related)

[sydally9367]

I apologize for all the questions I've been asking lately, I'm new to the Atkins diet and just keep having questions popping into my head
This is my 5th day so far and all day today, I just haven't been hungry! I ate a breakfast bar this morning, had lunch...but when it came time for dinner (nearly 6 hours after lunch) I didn't even have the urge to eat (I did, but not a whole lot!) Is this normal during induction??

Thank you to everyone who has answered my endless barrage of questions, you are ALL an inspiration!

Very normal, for me at least!!

Without those food cravings, eating becomes more of one of those things you have to do rather than something you live to do! I am so afraid to eat carbs/sugar again because I know what that craving/hunger feels like and I don't want to go through that again.

You have to remember to eat though. 6 hours is too long to go since it will slow down your metabolism.

This is pretty common during induction. Please remember to eat though, even if you're not very hungry. You need a certain amount of protein and calories for the day.

People laugh at me when I tell them that I'm NEVER hungry!! I've been dieting since I was 10 and this is the first one I never had a problem with!!

Keep asking the questions! I did it when I first started (I think I drove certain people insane) but the people here are so willing and able to give you the right answers! It's what makes this board so phenomenal.

God bless,

Isn't ketosis great? About the 4th or 5th day of induction (if you follow it exactly) you go into ketosis and one of the benefits is that you aren't hungry. Makes life so much easier, huh?

Please keep asking questions, that what makes WISH such a helpful place: questions being asked and answered.

Good luck on your journey. Questions are great because they keep me on my toes. I love them because I usually get new ideas with all the answers given. Once in a while I even know the answer!
