  • Hello

    Hi everyone! I'm so glad to have found this forum. After trying other diets and struggling with a wicked sweet tooth, I'm doing Atkins and I really love it. I'm so glad that I can eat until I am satisfied on this "diet". I'm still having trouble with my sweet tooth and eating the bars, and drinking coffee, but I want to make some more changes.

    I am waiting for my mom to finish the book and then it's my turn! So far I have all of my info from the Atkins site, and now I have found a wealth of info here.

    So, hi and I hope to get to know you and walk this journey together

            hi Miss Catrina! Welcome! Tell your mom to hurry up with the book! It will be a great resource for you! It's great that you already started without it. So, your mom will be eating this way as well?

              Wow thanks everyone for the warm welcome! Yes, my mom will be doing this as well, although she hasn't started yet, she's starting next week. She did Atkins years ago and had great results, although I have never done it. It seems like a great way to eat and live!

                  Hi there Ms C. Welcome to you. Enjoy the forum and post often to let us know how you are getting on. I'm glad you are enjoying this WOE (way of eating). Yeah ... the COFFEE DEMON. It gets me too honey. Those flipping headaches when you try to stop. Horrid. Just horrid. But from what I hear from everyone here, it's really worth it. Anyway, lots of luv to you and your mom.
                  Start weight: 103.6 kg (227.92 lbs)
                  Goal weight: 80 kg (176 lbs)
                  Now weighing in at ...... 95.6kg (210.32)
                  Total loss = 8 kg (17.6 lbs)

                    Hiya Miss Catrina! Welcome to the ADBB. Cool that you came here to post along with us. Will your mum be posting here too? It's great that you'll have company for your Atkins journey.

                    You'll find people advise against the bars and shakes here despite what the Atkins site says. Atkins Nutritionals is a business and they're more interested in making a buck or two than in your health. The bars stall ever so many people and are full of ingredients that are not on the induction legal list. If you can stick to "real" and unprocessed foods you'll find you lose much quicker, I'm sure.

                    A sweet tooth is tricky to deal with at first, but the more you starve it, the more it diminishes.

                    Best of luck with your new way of eating. We're with you (and your mum) all the way!
