Hi, thought I'd say hello as this seems like a great place to learn about how to do atkins correctly.
I'm a 29 year old male from from the UK. I did an attempt at the atkins a few years ago (although this wasn't really done properly, I just ate lots of cooked fatty foods and stopped eating most of the stuff you shouldn't) lost about a stone but then then I seemd to stop losing weight so fell off the wagon.
Started again on saturday more strictly but had a lapse yesterday and had some coke and a packet of crisps (nice though)
That kind of helped me refocus though as it put the last few days efforts to waste. Also today I found some of the foods I had been eating (salami and burgers had ingredients I shouldn't of eaten, potato starch in the burgers and lactose in the salami)
So once again I have refocused, and am going to begin compiling a list of things that I used to eat that I can still eat (eggs, bacon and salad ect ect) which seems to make things easier, the water drinking has never been a problem and I also drink green tea but I beleive it's caffinated, but from what I've read here that really doesn't matter too much.
So that's about it really, I hope I can stay with it this time.
One thing I'm not sure of though is how much I want to lose, I never weighed myself when I was ok, so I don't know what I want to go back to so I'm just going to take it a week at a time.
If anyone else in the UK can recommend anything tasty from places like Tesco, Lidls ect ect that would be nice.
One last thing, I got some decaffinated green tea with citrus today but the Ingredients list several flavourings, I'd like to drink it but am not sure.
It is Twinings Decaffeinated Green Tea Citrus, and the ingredients are (vague)
Green tea, lemon falvouring, lemon grass, citric acid, natural lime flavouring, orange flavouring and lemon pieces.
I take it I should not drink it (regardless of how nice it smells)
Thanks for reading!
