Fellow low carb dieters: Where are you in your diet, which one are you using, what are your goals and results so far?
Me:
Atkins induction as of today 29.01.2005
Goal: 10 kilos by "spring" - preferably 8 Mar but I doubt this is realistic -would be happy to reach goal for my birthday in early May.
History: South Beach from 25.11.2003 - 28.01.2005
32 kilos lost; reached plateau last November
2 aborted Atkins inductions in past - one recently due to vacation and other pressures, one in 2002.

My friend lost 12 kilos following this diet. It took him 2 weeks. He is a very stout person. I lost 3 kilos for this period of time, because my weight is nearly normal, I just wanted to correct it a little. From my point of view, it is the greatest diet in the world and the most popular in Moscow now.

So what does "induction" involve ?

I am on the 6th day of induction. Don't see any obvious results but I will keep doing it.
Be yourself, no matter what they say.

Btw, went to a drugstore yesterday. Picked up 3 different types of polyvitamins with minerals and asked a pharmacist to help to choose one of them. She recommended something starting with "S' in yellow box. Sugar wasn't mentioned at any of the ingredients of the vitamins, but still I asked the lady if it could be contained. And she definitely said that glucose and sugar are in all vitamins they have and that I had to look for something at diabetic department.Originally posted by Random

As far as I remember Vitrum is not sweet at all. I can be mistaken. Does anybody know what sugarless and glucoseless (is their such a word in English?) vitamins can be recommended. Or do you thinks that a small portion of sugar is not harmful at induction phase.

Good question - I used to just pop a multi vit with everything in it ! Didn't check for sugar etc ...oh well !!

I messed myself up with glucose based Vitamin C during the early phases of South Beach. I now use artificially sweetened Upsavit C, and my usual choice of locally available multi (polyvitamin as you have it) is Oligovit. However, at the time I used megadoses of C - I think a single glucose containing pill is not a real problem.Originally posted by Ledka

Righty Ho ladies and gentlemen!
Count me in on this dieting thing as well. Who can tell me what about the atkins diet (or point me in the direction of a website which does, without selling me something).
I have been in Russia a year and slaped on a lazy 14 kilograms (mainly due to Mrs Goose and I eating far too well). Its now diet or death.
Love and kisses

But why is the rum gone?!
I've lost 60 lbs since the start of September on Atkins. Took some time off from the diet during my trip to Ulyanovsk in December ( you dont fly half way around the world and turn down eating new dishes..hell with that). and am now back on it again. Not so hard to do once you get rolling with it.
good luck

Yo' world boss....I just live here
KP will denounce it of course as yet another Kremlin-backed initiative to curb democracy by robbing the great Russian citizenry of their revolutionary fervor. If Russians didn't have to ask for bread every 70-80 yrs...what would they take to the streets for?!?
And the end of the fight is a tombstone white, with the name of the late deceased,
And the epitaph drear: 'A fool lies here who tried to hustle the East.'

Why not get some expat sponsorship for losing the weight and give the money to charity. Good incentive?
