Re: new starter

My best tip is to eschew most processed stuff and eat lots of fresh veggies. I find that the processed stuff, even though it's low carb, makes me want the 'bad old foods'. I have a big salald for lunch and stir fried vegggies for dinner (with some meat/fish/chicken/cheese protein). Stick to preapre everything yourself and you'll know what is going in your mouth (and on your hips!).

Tip 2 is keep a journal. I write all food in and exercise out in a book every day and it helps me to see where I've been and plan my next steps.

This is a great site and you'll get lost of support. What do you weigh now and what is your goal?

Welcome to Atkins and ADBB

buy and read the book DR ATKINS NEW DIET REVOLUTION 2002 edition.
read it cover to cover and then go back and reread chapter 11.
follow the rules and acceptable foods in chapter 11.
drink your water take your needed supplementrs based on your food selections
and last do the mandatory exercise part of Atkins cause if you aren't exercising you aren't doing Atkins chapter 15.

Happy low carbing.

Re: new starter

Welcome. I back everything in the previous two posts. Take measurements and don't abuse the scale, it will go up and down with water weight. The measuring tape tells it like it is. After two weeks, take the measurements again and you are in for a wonderful surprise. So happy you found us and I look forward to hearing bout your success!!

Re: new starter

Follow 2Big's advice and read the book first! You will discover that this is NOT A DIET, its the way you eat from now on!

Re: new starter

Tips about are what I would ditto. Also become a label reader. I think there are going to be lots of folks who will be joining the induction team next Monday.
