Hi everyone. I am new to this forum but not to Atkins. This is my second major attempt at losing some weight. I lost a lot a few years back, but put some back on...not all. I got careless. I don't have too much to lose. I've lost 8 pounds in 6 weeks and would like to lose another 10. I went through a major slowdown and now all of a sudden I've lost 3. Yes. I have been reading so much info on this diet. It's the only one that works for me. My only problem is that I am afraid to eat any carbs for fear of losing control. I guess I need to get over that. I am glad that I finally registered and can't wait to read all of your stories and questions...answers.

OK. Went out to eat tonight. Had a chicken salad. Now I am stressing about the carrots in it. Oh My. Are carrots that bad?

Re: I'm new to this forum

hmmm I don't remember seeing carrots on the list- they're quite starchy and sweet aren't they so they're probably not allowed. but hey, don't let that worry you too much - just keep going and I'm sure it'll be ok. I only realised yesterday that I'd accidentally bought the 'sugar' version of a flavoured water drink we get here in the UK (the sugar and non-sugar bottles are almost identical!) So I'd been merrily drinking large glasses of the stuff which has 5% sugar in it! ARGH. But I've stayed in ketosis all the way through it and last time I weighed had lost 5lb in 4 days - so it doesn't appear to have stalled me (fingers crossed).

So basically I'm saying learn from your errors as you go along but don't stress about them!

Good luck

Re: I'm new to this forum

Welcome to the board. Rock chic is right about the carrots. Keep pressing on and chalk it up as an OOPS! I had read in Dr. Atkins book that when we make a mistake its not supposed to stop our progress just stall it. The most it will stall it for is 3 days and then we go back into ketosis, however exercise can shorten that period of time even more. Put a smile on and I look forward to reading that you lost that last 10 pounds!
