Back After 7 Years

[Carol50]

Hi, I am back after 7 years. I remember maintaining my weight easily after getting through the first 2 weeks. I also remember finding it the most difficult to get through the first 2 weeks. So here I am again to get back on track. I lost my Atkins Book and I don't remeber all the details. Are tomatoes still a no no? Wish me luck, I will need it. I Will start my fist day of induction on 11-13-2009.

I recommend buying a new one then!

>>Are tomatoes still a no no? >>

They were never a "no no" ... except in the first week of the 1972 plan.

If you need a quick refresher:

Warm welcome aboard! Kudos to you for coming back to the Atkins fold. You won't regret it.
The book we go by here is DANDR 2002 edition. That's the last one written in its entirety by Dr A himself, before his death. They're not hard to come by... Amazon, ebay, etc.

Best of luck and keep us posted!

Welcome back Carol. You are going to find the 2002 version of Atkins much more flexible than the old version.

Hi and welcome back to Atkins --

Regardless of what you did before, or what people are doing now, your body is different than anyone so it’s best not to compare - just follow the plan the way it's written. 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.

Check this page for answers to a lot of your questions: http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/atkins-diet-14-day-induction/77558-atkins-diet-induction-faqs.html. Make sure you are eating enough vegetables – Atkins isn’t just meat and cheese – vegetables are a huge part of your daily menu and is where most of your carbs should be coming from.
