    NEW and LOVING IT

    I got to this site by accident.....sincerely i had never heard of atkins diet before.....but so far what i have read......i think its really great......
    I am from italy and we use Kilos instead of pounds so i converted hope its correct.....68 kilos - 150pounds , height - 1.55cm - 5 ft 1inch
    Anyway due to stress ( as i tend to think ) i have added 20 kilos......
    Well i have been going thro some topics and its abit confusing on the net carbs
    Here ( Italy)diets are mostly on calories.....have been trying to really watch what i eat but so far no weight loss thou have never done an actual diet!

    Anyway am about to embark on this journey of weight losing and am every positive it will work for me.....please any menus on the induction phase?

    Am planing on buying the book, hopin to get one in english....

    All the online book stores offer the book in English.
    If you scroll to the bottom of any page and click on the link to Amazon.com you can get the book there and this board will get credit.

        Hiya Pink Panther and welcome! I see you're from Italy. I live in Italy too (but am English), in Umbria, and love it!

        Congratulations on your great English, by the way.

        I got my book from Amazon. You want the 2002 edition of Dr Atkins New Diet Revolution. That's the edition this board goes by.
        You're right to get a copy, as undertanding the science behind this way of eating is fundamental to success.

        Until your book comes... read the stickies (permanent posts at the beginning of each forum) in the Induction Forum and read some of the FAQs. These will tell you what you can and can't eat.

        All the very best on your journey towards a trim figure and better health!

          Welcome pink!
          Definitely read the forums, there is so much interesting stuff here and great recipes too.
          I still don't have my book (will hopefully get it one day though) and am already on day 13 on my induction.
          I think the most important things to get started are here, including support
          I don't have a menu as I go by what I like most of the days and then just calculate it through but I just had the most delcious low carb burger (thanks for the tip again, gaynorA) made with hamburger meat, tomatoes, paprika, cheddar and lettuce to hold it all together.
          YUMMY, try it if you like burgers
          Anyway, good luck on your journey!

                Toscana! Che bello!
                Yes... Umbria is lovely and green but we don't have all those wonderful Tuscan cypresses everywhere. Pity.
