    The Good News...

    Today my husband went to the cardiologist and I was expecting them to tell him to lose some weight...

    They did...

    by eating the Atkins way.

    You all know that sometimes, doctors are the biggest enemies of the Atkineers . It surprised me that they not only told him to go on it (with me) but gave him snack ideas.

    After all the poking and prodding I've done for him to join me on the controlled carb journey , I feel very vindicated.

    Of course, he's hating it right now because he says he's hungry but I'm sure he'll get acclimated like we all did.
    With men, things may seen impossible, but with God ALL things are possible.

    Size 10 by August 2009? It's mine for the asking and mine for the taking.

    I don't think anyone likes it when the doctors tell them they need to eat right. Forced changes are hardly ever welcome.

      He's lucky that you're there to help him and you are lucky because you now have a partner to do it with 24/7!

        actually, if it weren't FOR my doctor, I wouldn't be ON atkins. she's been after me for the last year and a half to go ON atkins and I finally listened to her at the beginning of this year (and i'm SOOOO happy i did!)

          Have you shown him around the Board yet?

          I'm sure he'd be welcomed by all! That should make it easier for him to adjust, too.

            If he is hungry, he should eat. No need to be hungry on Atkins. Actually we should not be hungry on Atkins.

              that is great news...not that he needs to lose weight but that a doc advocates atkins. and now you have a buddy! that is great. before you know it he will love the way he feels and he will be a happy camper.
