never fear the D is here!

[D14965]

Hi Everyone! my name is Donna and I am an Aussie My brother was diagnosed with hyperinsulinism and was told by his doctor to try atkins to regulate it. I decided to do atkins with him as support and to lose some weight ! we both feel fantastic and have lost quite a bit of weight too! I am having lots of fun trying all the recipes and learning lots in the process! Fancy losing weight on a diet that breaks all the rules of conventional weight loss and eating great food .... i can imagine myself doing this forever!!

Hello to you D14965 and to your brother. Welcome to the board! Glad you found us here and are enjoying trying the recipes.

It's great that you feel you could eat this way forever. That would be an enormous gift to yourself. On Atkins most people experience better health (better B/P, blood sugar, cholesterol levels), more energy... plus of course a trimmer figure!

Happy losing!

Hi Donna

Good luck to you and your brother! Family support really does make a big difference...I'm doing Atkins along with my 19 year old daughter and we both support each other so much. My husband and 2 younger kids are also very supportive which is great!

I wish you both well, please keep us updated on your progress!
