  • Hi Everyone

    My name's Amanda, and I live in Melbourne, Australia - having emigrated from the UK last year. My partner & I both started Atkins 3 weeks ago (wish we'd tried it sooner, but never mind!). I've lost 5kg and my other half has lost 8kg (why do men lose it quicker )

    I can't get the ticker thingy to work, so this is me:
    Height 5'1"
    S/W 100Kg
    G/W 51Kg
    C/W 95Kg

    As I've got so much to lose, I think I'll be sticking with induction for a while - certainly don't see myself getting bored with the food list anytime soon.

    I do have a question about measuring food though (I have bought & read to book). Is the veggie carb limit of 12-15 per day what we should be going on, or should we be sticking to the 2-3 cups method also mentioned in the book? Getting 12-15 carbs out of 3 cups of veg seems impossible to me

    I've spent the last few weeks lurking on the forum, and everyone is so supportive, it's wonderful.

    Welcome Amanda!

    Congrats on reading the book!! You will be counting the carbs in all your foods...cheese, eggs, cream, coffee, dressings, shellfish etc... In the back of the DANDR book there is a carbohydrate gram counter. Hope this helps.

      Men are so lucky! My hubby just told me last night that he has lost 8 lbs this week! He isn't even dieting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
      I guess it's all the walks I've been dragging him on and all the side salads in stead of so many potatoes! LOL
