  • Just a hello

    I've already posted my burning question on the induction board, so I don't have much to say beyond how much I look forward to eating the Atkins way. I have always had success maintaining my weight on fairly restrictive diets. Being a cycle instructor/personal trainer I have been used to monitoring fat-protein-carbs-calories, not in the same proportions of course, but always being aware of division of nutrients, so I think this will suit me.

    When arthritis caused me to limit my activity I gained weight fairly quickly, being bitter about having to curtail my activities, I quit working out altogether and started eating all the foods I had always avoided. But I've found that I can continue to train in moderation so I'd like to reflect that on the outside once again.

    Thank you to the moderators and everyone who posts solid information and words of encouragement.

    Welcome Natashmallie!!
    It sounds like you have a good head start on you nutrition knowledge, but as I’m sure someone will post here, make sure you Read the Book. I have read it 2 or 3 times (once cover to cover, and then skipping around), and it amazes me some of the things I thought I knew, I missed the first time around.
    I’m so glad for you that you have discovered you can do some training, I know that will help in you journey.
    Best wishes

        Welcome to the Atkins Board.

        Besides reading the 2002 DANDR book make sure you get enough pure water in daily (64oz is recommended), exercise and take a non-iron multivitamin.


        The new challenges will be starting in the next few days -- check them out and join a couple that interest you.

        Don't forget to eat enough vegetables (check the acceptable food list (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. Rules of Induction: http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.c...induction.html (What are the Rules of Induction?)
