Favorite Atkins quotes

[Perry]

"When you are most tempted to give up, you are likely to be on the verge of succeeding."

"The kiss of success is arriving at your goal weight by eating in such a way that you wouldn't want to eat differently."

"I don't think I was ahead of my time; I was merely taking advantage of an idea whose time has come."

Re: Favorite Atkins quotes

Amen! Excellent quotes!

I especially like this one: "I don't think I was ahead of my time; I was merely taking advantage of an idea whose time has come."

Re: Favorite Atkins quotes

"I have stubbornly insisted throughout the book that you should exercise. It's good for your mood, good for your muscles, good for your energy level, especially good for your heart." Ch 27

"Eating healthily is something you're doing for you--a gift to yourself, not a punishment. Value yourself and you'll be able to enjoy and succeed at this endeavor." Ch 21.

"The same thing goes for exercise. Sometimes people with a fair degree of metabolic resistance find that to lose at a decent speed they have to exercise (which I urge you to do anyway). Then they tell me, "but back in 1994, I lost 20 pounds in two months without exercising." Get real. It's not 1994. Send all complaints to Father Time, Box Office Eternity." Ch 21

Re: Favorite Atkins quotes

being where I am in this WOE...... the one thing Dr. Atkins said that sticks with me even when I am tempted to venture back to things I once ate is....
"Remember that addictions can only be managed through abstinence". This is #6 on his basic principles for lifetime. His last principle is short, sweet and one never to be forgotten.
EXERCISE

Some of my favorite lines of his:

"You are never cured."
"Exercise is non-negotiable.
"I never said calories don't count, just that carbs count more."
