Hi from an Atkin newbie :)

[Michael K]

Hi all,

My better half and I have been trying the various recipes and eating habits of Atkins, and we liked it so much that we're now doing the Induction Phase - Day 2 here for the both of us! Just wanted to post a hello here - and let you know that I really like the community here, thanks for the welcome!

- Michael

Thanks so much for the replies, and the welcome, folks

I just made my lunch salad here in the kitchen at the office thinking... ok, so now everyones going to know I'm dieting.. even though i'm putting in the eggs and ham hehe Interesting to think how scared I felt - because I just didn't want to be 'that guy' at the office - but... dont you know... about 3 folks came in, and each were doing their own diet stuff. I honestly just never noticed how many in the office are actually watching their weight

I feel like I joined the club hehe.

Thanks again for the warm welcome, from me and mine!

Welcome, ya'll!

I'd find it an interesting to compare the Atkins way vs. what your coworkers are doing (assuming they are not doing Atkins), and just observing the results over time... which seems most effective and which seems to be easier to maintain and satisfies hunger?

I wish I had a non-Atkins dieter around me now, so I could compare...

(that's the nerd in me!)
