    First Day Nerves

    Hi. I have been in a leg cast since December and finally its off. During that time I basically have been going through the Atkins Diet Book and . Today is the day I have finally took the plunge. Got all my meals planned for the week, my ketostix and multivitamins so wish me luck. Been a bit nervous about posting a message but i guess I am amongst friends who are going through the same thing and want the same goals.

      Welcome to ADBB.

            Drink plenty of pure water (64 ounces is the MINIMUM daily), don't rely solely on the sticks - they are unreliable, stay off the scales for a week and take your measurements. Eat the foods allowed on the acceptable list and do the best you can.

            Good luck.
