Ok I am up to this!

[sarahrose]

Hi I'm Sarah from Michigan, married, 4 grown children & I am a retired R.N.
I lost 30 pounds on Atkins many years ago, but 20 pounds snuck back up on me because I went off Atkins. I am ready to get back on & I began yesterday.
I have a question though, when was coconut oil put on Atkins? I have nothing against it, & have some in my cupboard & will use it if given the okay.

Coconut oil will help you get your fats, is allowed, go for it! (No idea when it was added....)

Welcome, and great attitude, that will take you far!

Thankyou! It is organic coconut oil & it cost a mint! Glad to be able to use it.
Last time I was on Atkins we had to order our Splenda from Canada & it came in a blue box! LOL!

I had forgotten how much Atkins took away my cravings!

Off to get a ticker!

Hi Sarah! Welcome to ADBB. I have a '72 edition, and it allows margarine, but doesn't mention coconut oil. Things change; Atkins did a great job perfecting this diet over the years. I think the new version gives us a lot more options when it comes to the vegetable world....and I like it
