Hello I'm amy, I'm 18 from London, England.
I started atkins a while ago after watching someone I know lose some weight very easily, but I never stuck to it properly. I guess that was my incentive.. how easy it seemed. I did a low cal high carb diet a while ago and did successfully lose a good amount of weight, but found the cravings very hard to ignore and eventually put back a little bit of weight (I blame the university way of life).
Anyway, my naive dream of desperately easy weight loss has passed and I've learnt to work hard for my diet and am sticking to atkins as a way of life not a quick fix.
I've been on Induction for a couple of weeks but am experiencing pretty slow weight loss (I think my downfall was the finding of Low Carb Rolos on sale in a health shop a week or two ago..its okay... I'm not eating them anymore before you recite me the 'rules of a clean induction' :P), although I am feeling a difference in the fitting of my clothes.
I must say I love this board and it has helped me through many meal ideas as well as lindas low carb recipe site. My flat mates are often amazed at the culinary adventures I cook up yet still haven't twigged I'm low-carbing it yet!! For support I have my lovely boyfriend of a year who often takes me out for burgers and chicken portions when I am desperate for a snack!!
Anyway, thanks for listening.
