Yes I have been trying to get this and I have the Atkins Essential Kit. There is too many carbohydrate foods around to tempt me. So I have this immage to remember. I know that I can and will enjoy the program first stage is vegetables and meats. But, I seem to run into carbs and the more preperation and careful shopping will pay off. Even in the middle of the night 2am carb craving. Not happy with my progress so far. Any suggestions? H E L P

Re: Patsy
Hi Patsy! Welcome to
I'm sorry you feel frustrated. Do you have the 2002 Dr.Atkins New Diet Revolution book? That's what I read before I started and it made a world of difference. I've been doing this over a year and I still have the book on my desk in easy reach! Lol! When you say you're not happy with your progress is it because of having a hard time resisting those old foods? A good way to resist is (as you said) preparation and careful shopping. Drink that water...and make sure you're eating. The hungrier you are the harder it is to resist. Planning is really the key. See...you're half way there! Another thing that helps me is to not think of it as willpower but as choices. When I see something tempting I tell myself "I choose not to eat that." Makes me feel empowered and not like I'm "missing out". Have you started Atkins or are you about to? The more info you feel comfortable sharing the better we can help you. There's lots of people here who will! Again, welcome to the board!

Re: Patsy
I Patsy, Glad you found us and glad you posted. One of the best ways to check out your WOE is to post a few days menus. If you use fitday, you can post that. Don't get discouraged until the experts look at your menu.
