Re: great thread created here

Hey Repo -- welcome back!!! I agree, us "old farts" are burning up the track here! Good luck to you -- Here is a little information I hope will refresh your memory and help get you going again. Stay away from the shakes and bars (they are NOT legal on induction) - eat a variety of foods, get your fats, carbs and protein in daily, drink plenty of pure water (nothing added), take your supplements and exercise. Check the STAC for additional support Second Time Around Club - Atkins Diet. We also have challenges for members to join, some are exercise related and some aren’t. Also start a journal and post your thoughts along the way. Also check out the "Over 50" area -- we are a small group but we try to post and keep each other going.

Check the stickies (information posts) at the top of this page – it’s an easy way to answer questions you may have. http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/atkins-diet-14-day-induction/

Well, hey now - how old is old farts? I just turned forty! I feel like an old fart sometimes. Especially, when my teens roll their eyes at me. Oh, Mom, so stupid. No, they don't say it, but... oh, they are.

Re: great thread created here

I agree with you repoman, because most of my problem is mental too. I just started back to meditation and visualization and am hoping to get my head back around this dieting thing. Here's wishing us both luck!

Re: great thread created here

I listen to 70's music when I'm exercising --- that's the best tempo to do things. My Zen is filled with Disco, Rock, Country, Pop -- you name it, if it was 70's it's on there!!

I'm glad you come here everyday and have it help get your day started!! The people here are so wonderful - I don't think I could do this if not for them!!

Keep going you're doing great!!

peace

Hi Carole,
I was strolling through the local drug store the other day and ran across some Atkins bars. I had no intention of buying them, but i still read the label and was confused. The front label stated X amount of net carbs. The nutrition label on the back showed a very high amount of carbs, and even when you subtracted the few grams of fiber shown, there was a big difference between the net carbs on the front label and the nets carbs resulting from the nutrition label on the back. Did you ever notice that? Do you know why?

Another old fart/retired disco queen reporting in!

How's it going, repoman? Haven't read anything from you in a bit.

I think it's the sugar alcohols. I've had both the Atkins bars & shakes when I first started low carbing two years ago. Soooo many fake ingredients and all that soy. Geez. I didn't know any better back then though. Anyways, they always made me ravenous shortly after I consumed them, so how good is that??? Now I wouldn't touch them with a ten foot pole.

Re: great thread created here

repoman left the building long ago -- this is an old thread.

It is the sugar alcohols among other frankenfood ingredients in them. I bought a couple boxes for my mom and tried one of each before I started Atkins - they were the nastiest things to try and eat - I spit them out and threw them away. The real way of following Atkins is full of wonderful tastes -- this crap is just that -- C R A P!!!

Ok - we'll leave repoman to whatever he's been doing all these months and won't bother his thread again.

Wow. .it's a good thing it was Beginnings by Chicago (Transit Authority). It could have been worse. . .like Junkfood Junkie by Larry Groce. . ..

That song kills me. . .
