Wish me luck

[Justin W]

I have decided to start Atkins today. I have tried it before with great success. But once I lost the weight I would always go back to my "normal" way of eating. So I am starting today with the promise to myself that I will accept this as a way of life. I will keep everybody posted on a weekly basis. Starting weight 246lbs Goal Weight 200.

Welcome!

Hopefully you'll think of Atkins as "normal"!

Hi and welcome back to Atkins Justin --

Regardless of what you did before, or what you read other people are doing, 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. Drink a minimum og 64 ounces of pure water daily, exercise and take a non-iron multivitamin – these are mandatory when following Atkins.

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.

The recipe sites will help keep you from eating the same thing over and over -- check them out!
