    Back on Atkins.....not yet

    Hello,

    I tried Atkins about a year ago, and stopped. I should have stuck with it, because I saw results!! I lost 8 pounds in one week!! So, I am going to head out to Walmart and buy some stuff to help me along the way. For those who love beef hamburgers, please try turkey hamburgers. They are just as good and lower calories, cholestrol, and fat! Atkins is the way to go, but please all do it the healthy way! I am sure you all can, and I commend you on a new start to your life. It is hard I know, I guess that is why in a sense it took me so long for to re-start it, but now that I am 30, my motto is to look better in my 30's than I did in my 20's!! I wish you all luck and hang it there!!

              Hi Giraffe! You've learned a lesson. Starting Atkins, seeing results means you need to stick with it, for life. This way of eating is so plush, there's no reason to eat yucky carbs!
