Hi I'm back

[wannabskny]

Hi, I'm returning to adkins from a few years ago... ready to try again. This is the only "diet" that seems to work for me and like many of you, I have tried quite a few. I want to lose about 40 lbs, so here goes! I am a 36 yr old female if anybody else is starting today and wants a buddy to share their journey with, let me know.

Re: Hi I'm back

Hi and welcome back -- Here is a little information I hope will refresh your memory and help get you going again. To loose and keep the weight off follow the plan the way Dr. Atkins wrote it. The plan works if you follow it the way it is written and don’t try to do it “your way”. Hopefully you’ll think of Atkins as a way of living for a lifetime, not a quick way to shed some weight and quit again.

Check the STAC Second Time Around Club - Atkins Diet for additional support. We also have challenges for members to join, some are exercise related and some aren’t. Also start a journal and post your thoughts along the way.

Check the stickies (information posts) at the top of the induction page - http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/atkins-diet-14-day-induction/ – it’s an easy way to answer questions you may have if you can’t find your copy of the book.


Stay away from the shakes and bars (they are NOT legal on induction because of their ingredients and have caused stalling to many people) - eat a variety of foods off the acceptable food list, (making sure you get your fats, carbs and protein in daily), drink a minimum of 64 ounces of pure water (nothing added), take supplements and exercise.

Check the recipe sites also - they are very helpful and will help make your meals so much more enjoyable. Make sure you are using induction recipes until you move on to OWL (ongoing weight loss)
