Re: 2007 Read The Book Challenge

I have also just begun my reading/homework. What I found interesting is that Dr A clearly states that "The Atkins Nutritional Approach is not a diet. In the limiting sense of a weight loss program the you go on and off, it doesn't deserve to be called a diet at all. It's a way of eating for the rest of your (healthy) life."

For me I think once I grasped that concept & realized just how much better I feel physically, mentally & spiritually everything just clicked. This truly is a new WOE.

It is sad to see so many people still going on Atkins to weight quickly & then go back to their old way of eating. They truly are cheating themselves out of living life to the fullest!

Re: 2007 Read The Book Challenge

Isn't it great how we all (more or less) know what we're doing with this WOE and then we read something and it clicks in our heads again, and again?

I like the part titled "ok, it's what I eat, but will I enjoy it?". Because we are able to use butter and other fats it truly is gourmet cooking and I find that my dinner meals are much more interesting (and saucy) for the whole family. Once I learned about substituting for foods I crave, including desserts, I eat them when I want them. Just alot differently than I did in the past.

Re: 2007 Read The Book Challenge

Jimmie can I still get in on the book reading? I'll be the first to admit that I have not read the atkins book at all. I started doing the low carb diet on South Beach, but want to be like all of the other losers on this web site.
I am heading to the book store on my lunch hour & will get caught up over the weekend if this is okay with you.

shaunawa, i would never tell someone they couldn't join us in such an important challenge as this one. get the book and try hard to get part one read by monday. part 2 is pretty lengthy and you don't want to get behind.
you can get the homework assignment for part one in the Puzzle Forum. clicking the link in my siggy will get your there.

make sure to read the very first post of this thread, also, just so you are aware of what's expected to earn the reading award.

Re: 2007 Read The Book Challenge

I've got my homework done!!!

I noticed some slight variations in wording though - and am wondering if somehow I may have the wrong version. Mine is "Copyright 1992, 1999, 2002 by Robert C. Atkins, M.D." with a "First Avon Books paperback printing: January 2002". I had assumed that this meant it was the 2002 version - I wonder if it's just a reprint of the 1992 version instead? Not an updated? But I think it must be the updated version, because he refers to the old edition a few times. I DON'T KNOW!!!

wendy, that's the exact version the quotes came of. you're dealing with a human here (me) so if something didn't look quite right that is a possibility.
i did mix up the order in the homework but fixed that.
can you tell me where the variation of wording was? i can give you exact page numbers.

Re: 2007 Read The Book Challenge

Yes - I jotted down the page #s next to my answers - there were two that were off a bit. I left my homework at the office - I may go in for a few hours tomorrow though.

I've got a head start on Part 2 - I brought my book to Chick-Fil-A and read while my daughter burned off some energy in the play area. I had forgotten what a great tool reading the book is to help you stay focused on the plan & the goal - it's so easy to lose sight of that when you get busy with everyday life. Reading the book really does help me not to mess it all up!

Re: 2007 Read The Book Challenge

when you get those, i'll try to clear up anything that was out of sorts. i think i know one of the questions you are referring to but trust me on that one. the exact quote is there
i did the quesiton for this part and i still almost missed that one! lol


i think i'll be starting part 2 tomorrow as well.

Re: 2007 Read The Book Challenge

Miss Jimmy48, I finished my reading and my homework. May I be excused to go out and play now???

If the question you are speaking of is the one that starts: The _____________ _____________ measures the relative rate at which... I thought I had found it worded slightly different near the middle of the chapter and tried to make it fit, but the real sentence was nearer the end--worded exactly.

Sunny! :reading:
