I'm Veronica

[vmartennis]

Hi, I'm Veronica. Just joined. I'm returning after 8 years. I lost a/b 8 lbs last time over quite a long period of time. I wasn't as well versed in Atkins as I thought back then, so I'm trying again. Eating well..in Ketosis..day 6. No nagging appetite... Happy No sign of weight loss yet. Perservering w/faith in Atkins. I live in California. I'm looking for an Atkins-educated-Atkins-friendly doctor. Do any of those exist? I live in SF Bay Area, specifically Santa Clara. Glad to be on board. Veronica

Hi and welcome back to Atkins Veronica --

Follow the plan the way it's written, watch for hidden sugars and make sure you're only eating foods on the acceptable food list. Look around and find what interests you and join in. Check the STAC Second Time Around Club - Atkins Diet for additional support.

I hope you already have the 2002 DANDR book and have read it, it is the edition we follow on this site. If not it's worth a few dollars to purchase. Get enough pure water in daily (64oz is recommended), exercise and take a non-iron multivitamin.

The recipe sites will help keep you from eating the same thing over and over -- check them out! Don't forget to eat enough vegetables (check the acceptable food list (What foods can be eaten on Induction?)(What foods can be eaten on Induction?)http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/atkins-low-carb-dieting-faqs/6781-what-foods-can-eaten-induction.html) - 2 cups from the first list and 1 cup from the 2nd list daily.

Welcome back to Atkins, Veronica!

Just give it a little time and be sure to read labels and try to eat mostly unprocessed foods because there are so many things hidden in processed foods that can stall your loss.

Good luck to you!
