Hi, investigating

[theladyiscrazy]

Hey everyone. I am new to the boards and to the idea of Atkins. I had always heard that this diet was really unsafe but I am finding out that is not exactly true.

Anyways, a friend of mine is on Atkins and recommended it to me. I am still reading all the information (book, website) on it at this time. I am planning on starting at the beginning of November. My daughter gets married on Halloween and I just don't think it is very wise to start a new regimen between now and then. Especially since we start with Induction, which would go over the wedding date.

I am 41 years old, female, and 265 lbs. This will be unique for me as I also have some health issues and we have food allergies in the house. So, I have a few things to work around.

anyways, wanted to say hi! I look forward to seeing everyone around the board.

Susan

Welcome! I'm a month in, and I've found that this is a very supportive and friendly place!

Glad to see you let research and judgement overcome hearsay and misinformation!

From everything I've read, this is a great way of eating to help one work with food allergies!
