day 1, feeling v positive

[jodidi]

Hi everyone

Today i have started atkins with some salmon, i'm feeling different this time, i know i can do this !

someone posted on here to stop dwelling on the food you you cant have, but, think about all the food you can have! i thought that was a good bit of advice because the more you think about something you cant have the more you crave it!

i'm just going to take it one day at a time, btw how much is 64oz of water in litres

Hi jodidi and welcome aboard!

You're right, focusing on all the good stuff you can eat is the way to go. Even very ordinary veg become a real treat when you're allowed to melt a pat of butter over them!

64oz of water is about 2 litres. But you need to drink an extra 8oz or so for every additional 20lbs or so you are overweight (or something like that anyway, can't recall the exact numbers!). I started off about the same weight as you, and aimed for at least 3 litres a day and tried to exceed it. I still drink at least 3 litres daily, usually more. You do need to keep near a loo when drinking water like that though!!

Hi there,

Welcome back to ADBB. 64 US oz = 1.89 litres.

You may have seen this before, but this is a great thread for beginners or those getting back into Atkins: http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.c...ead.php?t=6790

Best of luck and let us know how you get on!
