Re: My journey begins.
Hi Brittnoizers, This is a very supportive and informative group. How long have you been on Atkins? Have you read the 2002 book? That is the version of Atkins this site uses. Do you have any questions? Glad to have you on board.

Re: My journey begins.
Welcome to the Atkins Board.
Glad you found the board and are excited about staring. First of all, Atkins is not a "diet" it's a way of eating over a lifetime. Once you learn how to eat this way you will wonder why you didn't start long before now. A few tips to help get you started: Drink a minimum 64 ounces of pure water daily, exercise and take a non-iron multivitamin - these are mandatory with Atkins so start now and get off on the right foot.
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?)
The recipe sites will help keep you from eating the same thing over and over -- check them out!
