I'm new...any tips?

[Keen4Lean]

So I ordered the book off of Amazon and some Ketostix.
That stuff isn't getting here until December but I'm starting the diet in the morning anyway.
It's Midnight here so I will reply to everyone in 6 hours when my baby wakes me up for a feeding.
Anywho, I'm new, would love to have friends on this WOE!
I'm excited, but nervous.
I'm the classic ~yo-yo~ dieter, and I don't want to quit!
I know I can do this, I know it!
Also I went to the doctors to get stuff tested and the results were:

"0.6" aka Low Creatine Levels, so I'm guessing since it's not high I'm all good for this diet lol. Alright love to all. I'll respond later. Any tips are highly encouraged! ThanksInAdvance!

Re: I'm new...any tips?

If by feeding you mean breastfeeding the induction level of the diet is not recommended. You can cut out refined carbs but you should not go into ketosis.

We are here to help for sure. Anything specific you want help with?

Welcome to the Atkins Board.

Glad you found the board and are excited about starting the plan. 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 (nothing added), exercise and take a non-iron multivitamin - these are mandatory with Atkins so start now and get off on the right foot.

Make sure you read the book as soon as you get it, it will give you the knowledge you need to get to your goal. Eat only the foods on the acceptable food list and eat a variety of foods and vegetables. (Atkins Diet Induction FAQs)http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/atkins-diet-14-day-induction/77558-atkins-diet-induction-faqs.html. The plan works when you do it properly, there's no reason to yo-yo once you get on this plan - the food is delicious - it's easy to stay on track and you have all the support here you'll ever need.

Good luck to you!
