Wow, I can't believe I'm here....
After talking smack and completely dismissing Atkins for ages, I'm finally coming around...
I've lost 85 lbs. over the past three years and was really really frustrated that despite eating "right" and intense workouts, the last 20 lbs. wasn't budging. Then I learned I have multiple grain allergies. In my quest to learn to eat without grains, I finally actually *read* DANDR and it made so much sense. After being bombarded on every store aisle with fake Atkins Nutritionals food, filled with all kinds of junk, I was confused about what the Atkins diet really is.
Now I finally get it....!
So today I start induction....I gave up sugar long ago, and have learned to live without grains the past few weeks, so I only need to make a couple of minor tweaks to my regular woe and expect this to be really easy.
I don't expect a dramatic drop during induction, but hey, it would be really really nice to be surprised!
Looking forward to getting to know y'all....seems like a wonderful TOUGH LOVE group!
