Help get me started...Please!

My weight has been up and down for years! Partly because of having children and partly because I quit because I dont see results soon enough. Can anyone give me advice and encouragement?

Have you tried Atkins before?

Re: Help get me started...Please!

No, my husband said that a guy at his work has had great luck with Adkins so I thought I would try.

Well give it a try and you will see how easy it is to stick with. Do you have the Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution (2002 edition) book?

Re: Help get me started...Please!

I dont have anything yet except information from my husbands friend. Is that the book you suggest?

Re: Help get me started...Please!

That's the book that this board is based on. All the advice we give here is based on that book. It's very good and explains the diet in detail...especially the most important part...that's it's not a diet but a way of life.

It would also tell you what goods are legal to eat during the first two weeks of induction.

I know you want fast results...and so like i used to u try then try then try. You MAY loose fast u may lose slow. but with this 'diet' b4 you know it the garbage foods will not phase or interest u and even if your slower at losing or stall for a bit, your better off then where you were. Goodluck it is amazing, great things take time sometimes

Hi and welcome to ADBB and Atkins.

Until you get a copy of the book, take time and read through the stickies and FAQs of the various forums around the board. You'll get a lot of information there.

Check out the befores and after and success story sections too!

Glad you found the board, see you around!

I know the net is a wierd place, but if you're far enough away from Louisiana to feel safe, and you need a bit of help, I'll send you my copy.

Welcome to ADBB and a new way of life! Atkins makes you feel so good, you will never want to go back. You may get a bit of 'Induction Flu', but it will pass. I had it for a few days, headache, tired, stuff like that. It is your body going through detox off the nasty sugar and carbs. That was the main part of my diet, so my body was shocked when I quit stuffing it full of carbage!! I feel great now, more energy than I have had in years. Post any questions you may have, everyone here is great and more than happy to help.
