  • Atkins is catching...

    Well, I started Atkins - by myself almost 12 weeks ago. A few weeks later my husband joined me and our au pair. Basically, I've told no one what I'm doing. (failed too many times before!)

    Now, one of my colleagues and his wife in Sweden have started - after seeing the foods I eat and the weight I've lost. Our neighbors (who drink daily) have decided not to drink during the week anymore. (And their neighbor too)

    A colleague that visited from the US has decided to start Atkins also AND to join in with the exercising.

    A girl at the au pair's school has started asking for her advice on food/supplements/and water intake. (and the girl is THIN but isn't as healthy as she'd like and sees my au pair as having LOTS more energy, etc.)

    Have you noticed the same thing???? Like a cold (only good for you ), and without even saying much... Atkins is CONTAGIOUS!!!

    YES! I guess people think being able to eat this way AND lose weight AND be healthy sounds pretty good!

    Any other stories???

    Good for you Kacey!!! Looking good and feeling good are the BEST ways to get folks to realize that Atkins isnt going to kill you! Ive had a number of folks ask about it, join me in walking at work, borrow my DANDR etc. Good job!
