Re: New to Atkins
Hiya Inot! Welcome to the ADBB and to the Atkins plan.
The programme will work for you, I'm positive. All you have to do is follow it to the letter.
If you haven't already read the book, then that would be a really good thing to do. It's very informative and understanding the science behind the diet makes it much easier. The one we follow here is DANDR (Dr Atkins New Diet Revolution) 2002 edition. This was the last version that Dr A wrote in its entirety before his death.
For starters... if you look at the stickies in the iduction forum and the FAQs, you'll get a great idea of what to do and what not to do. You're also welcome to ask whenever you have doubts. There's always someone around to lend a helping hand.
Post lots... you'll soon make friends and you'll get a wealth of support and inspiration.
Happy losing!
