I have been trying Atkins for over a year now. These are the things I would like to share.
# 1 - Ever heard of the phrase "By the book"? Memorize it. Use it. When you start wondering if you can have this or that or what amount of something is allowed, READ DANDR.
# 2 - A little bite WILL hurt you. Yes, even a little.
# 3 - If you don't follow the ENTIRE plan, A to Z, Induction to Lifetime Maintenance, you will NOT be successful. This includes the exercise portion of the program.
# 4 - The search button goes a LOOOONNNNGGG way.
# 5 - If you're not sure, DON'T eat it. Plain and simple.
# 6 - The rules are NON-NEGOTIABLE. They were created and formatted with every scenario in mind, and they are the ONLY guidelines that will help you achieve success.
# 7 - "I am doing Atkins, but I allow myself _____(insert non-Induction legal food here)". You are NOT doing Atkins. You are doing your own diet & obviously you don't know how to eat right, or you wouldn't be here to begin with.
# 8 - Don't come here for "permission" or justification in cheating. Rules are rules. If you don't follow them, YOU WILL NOT SUCCEED. We do not condone a variance from the rules.
# 9 - It bears repeating. RULES ARE RULES. The smallest variation from these rules WILL RESULT IN YOUR FAILURE. Yes, even a bite of cake or a sip of milk can toss you right off the wagon. And the more you fall off the wagon, the harder it is to get back on.
# 10 - FOLLOW THROUGH. Just because you lose all the weight you want, does not give you license to return to the old eating habits that got you into the shape you were to begin with. If you truly follow all phases of the Atkins Program BY THE BOOK, you will have a new lifestyle & will be able to maintain your new shape.
