Hi all...

I am starting the Atkins 14 intro on Monday 30th of Jan.
Does anyone have any advise for the days leading up to I start ?

Thanks

Re: Newbie....

Hi Chelsea, I'll just say the same to you that I said to another British Newbie, just 2 minutes ago.



Hello and Welcome. Its always nice to see fellow Brits joining us.

Congrats on starting the Diet. I have attached some links below which will explain Induction to you and will show you exactly what you can and cant eat. It would really help you if you were to buy a copy of Dr Atkins New Diet Revolution (2002 version) It has an orange cover (in this country) and can be found in all book shops.

Anyway, here are the links of the foods you can eat on Induction and instructions.....

Hello,

Thanks for that I will have a look I think I had a look at these the other day, and Ive just started reading the book mentioned...I guess what im asking is If I have a binge on all the foods I cant eat before I start atkins, Is that a bad idea i.e will it make the intial first few days worst...

Cheers
Chelsea

Re: Newbie....

If you binge out on it, it will be far worse. As would have already put on a bit more weight following the binge.

When I started out I gave all the illegal foods that I had in my flat to my brother. Loads of tins of baked beans, and chicken cook in sauces.

Just give it all away! You wont need any of that stuff again

Why don't you start it tomorrow! "strike whilst the iron is hot" and " there's no time like the prescence" and all that.

Re: Newbie....

Welcome, I should tell you I started with no money to prove to my hubby it was worth it for him to pay for what I needed, I used what I had in the house the few meats, eggs, ect..... and then when I got a little money I bought the rest of the food I neede to have. Though you should always do what is right for you.
