New Here ....

[PundaSmith]

Thanks for a very informative site; I am learning a bit of info here already.

I started Atkins around July 15 2009, after a friend briefly mentioned it to me. I went through induction, then stalled for about a month, and getting ready to start OWL.

The changes were however instant and rewarding: my weight dropped from about 245Ibs in July to about 230 now. I know I can do better, and still yearning to learn and hit my magic number:190 (I am 5ft-8inches tall).

I have just received Dr. Atkins NDR and reading through it. I am excited about this program; my blood pressure has stabilized; the cholesterol is still a problem, so working gradually on ensuring that I consume only healthy fats.

Thanks for an informative forum ....

Congratulations on your weight loss this far ---

Make sure you follow the book, drink a minimum of 64 ounces of pure water daily, exercise and take a multivitamin each day.

Learn to read the label on all foods you buy - don’t just look at the “carb” number look at the ingredients list of everything and check the ingredients against your list. Just because it says "low carb" doesn't mean you can eat it. Also check for hidden sugars (learn the names used in place of the word “sugar”).

The recipe sites are helpful for meal planning – just make sure you use Induction Recipes to begin with.
