Starting today on Atkins, first timer

[thwilson]

I am really hoping this works. I really think i should be pretty good at sticking to it. I already work out at a minimum of 2 days a week. I am hoping to do more. I am currently 278 and hope to get down to 250 and then keep going. I hope you will all support me in this endeavor. I love reading all your stories, it's very motivating. If you have any advice for me, please let me know.

Nice to meet all of you!!!

Hey Tom,

Welcome to Atkins! I'm fairly new at this too. It may take you a few days to a week to start feeling good on this way of eating (WOE) however you'll love the fast results and feeling of well being you'll have soon. For the first few days as your body uses uses up its glucose reserves and then switches over to using fat as fuel you may feel a bit weak/headachy etc but that's normal and will pass. I popped a few ibuprofen when I had a headache and drank lots of water.

I really love this way of eating - its so luxurious and satisfying. You'll probably find you won't be very hungry after a few days, which for me was such a welcome surprise. It makes the diet so easy to stick to.

Remember to read DANDR and get your foods organized. I've learnt as I've gone along. In a few weeks you'll be a pro at this!

Good luck to you on your journey. We're with you all the way!

Hi Tom, Welcome. If you can get a copy of Dr Atkins New Diet Revolution and read it, you will really understand why this WOE works and why we are never hungry.
