need no more convincing
Hey all,
First of all, I deeply want to thank the people who replied to my post 'need convincing'. Thank you so much for writing such motivating and encouraging replies!
When I wrote my post , I was thinking about going for either Weight Wathers or the Atkins WOE.
I thought that WW probably was easier on an every day basis , but then I realised that I would have to weigh or measure each bite I take and probably be hungry most of the time. Next , if you read the ingredients on low fat foods , you have to know some chemistry to understand what is in those prepared foods! How healthy can a bunch of chemicals ever be?
The Atkins WOE will be hard , very hard at first , but I assume I'll get used to it after one or maybe two weeks.
No matter how you see it , for either plan , I will have to change my routine , I might as well choose the healthiest option!
Now I just have to learn to fit it into my life, but as I said before , that will only take a little time and then it will seem like something I've always been doing.
I do have two more questions left : what are for you guys the things that help you stay on track? I'm thinking about snacks and foods I can always take with me so I won't get tempted by high carb rubbish.
And can you recommend any cookbooks that could help me along the way? Is that lastest Atkins cookbook good? I'm a bit confused sometimes as Dr. Atkins was always against convenience food , but in those books , you often find recipes with low carb bread mixes etc...
Thank you all!
Elke
