Well today is one week for me, I am down 6lbs. in 7 days. Yesterday I had quite an appetite but nothing really hit the spot. I know I am missing some vegetables. What is everyone going to add for their 5 carbs this upcoming week? I am thinking maybe celery, cukes and some coleslaw.

A reminder for a sweet treat, Farmer's Soda, diet soda and heavy whipping cream. I don't eat jell-o so this is my replacement, it's really good with orange and root beer, I try to keep it to an 8 oz glass.

Also, this is my first time using ketostix and they were showing the 2nd darkest color. I could always tell in the past by the taste in my mouth and my appetite, but I know you are supposed to use them as you add the carbs back in. Hope everyone else is having good success with this plan.

250.8 ... down 3.4 pounds! I ordered the 72' book, but its not here yet. I got a hardcover printed in 1972, the musty smell may knock me over when I open it It must be getting very popular if they are reprinting it!

When it's time to notch the carbs up, you add 5 more carbs a day? I haven't been eating cream and only an ounce of cheese and not every day either... I think that makes as huge difference for me too. I do drink coffee black(as in lots), no sweetner or cream. Not hard to do, I have always taken it thus! Coffee to me is 'non negotiable'. Exercise well, I know that I NEED to do something to help with the flab, so I started back with weight training...I have no excuse, we have a full weight room in the garage. And DH loves playing 'personal trainer' - I am so glad he is not into running. I can't do that, I get shin splits after 30 seconds.

I'm still waiting on my book. I'm doing DANDR clean induction until it arrives with success. I am curious about what those "revolution rolls" are! I can't imagine what the '72 book defines as a "roll." I guess my burning curiositiy will have to wait until my book gets here!

Hi Rhonda,
The revolution rolls and their modern, Cleochatra equivalent, are in the recipe/breads section on the forum.

Thanks, Pennink. I didn't think to check there....it's still early!

But neither is appropriate for induction, right?
Though T-Man's rev rolls are since they are made with mayo.

btw, I am starting 72 induction today, can I hop in here? Starting at 160 lbs. Really hoping to get to 155 by the end of ten days...perhaps optimistic, but we'll see!

ya, wait a week for Revolution rolls because they are made with soft cheese.

Hey All thought I'd check in with my results.

Did Atkins 72 starting Monday June 30th at 220 lbs one week later today stepped on the scale and am down to 210. A lost of 10 lbs in a week

K-boogie, wow! Congrats!

WOW k-boogie that's awesome!

Okey doke, I'm jumping on the band wagon, too! I just ordered my copy and have so far followed the '72 rules today before reading this thread. YAY! Best of luck to all!

Wow. I just broke into the 180s.

I think I may faint. Man, I could kiss Dr. Atkins!

My book came today.

I am going to do a week of induction this week. Next week I am going camping for 4 days. When I get back I will do another week of induction then start adding carbs back in. This is a little scary for me. I have been VLC for the last 6 months. Well except for the last couple of weeks I have been eating too many strawberries. Do you see any problem with doing it this way?

Nicely done!

Woo Hoo! That's great!
