Im a Newbie....

[givemestrength]

Hi everyone. A friend referred me to this site and I think its great. Im yoyo dieter, jumping from one fad to another, one diet pill to another... Fact is, I love to eat. Im waiting for "foodaholic" to really be recognized as a real condition... BUT, Im going to try this and started today. Im hopeful and am looking forward to feeling physically good and good about myself again.... KUDOS to everyone that is fighting this same battle. At least we are not going down without a fight!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Welcome to the board!

Once you are on Atkins for while, you will find that all that junk you used to eat doesn't appeal to you anymore. I know I've tasted things that I once thought I couldn't live without and spit it out because it was awful! Your taste buds change on this diet after you start eating 'real' food!

Kudos to your friend for telling you about us!

Welcome aboard the board!

The great thing about Atkins: No need to starve yourself. Bacon! Cheese! Cream! I'll always battle a sweet tooth, but after you've been on Induction for a little while, it tapers off. It's only since I've been on maintenance that I seem to crave it. It's those pesky carbs!

Anyway ... don't be a stranger here, celebrate your victories, and enjoy the journey !
