Beginning again and really excited!!

[jacki2u]

Hi

I lost a whole load of weight 6 years ago on atkins and have managed to keep it off up until a few months ago when for some reason I fell back into bad habits and have been eating carbs like nothing on earth. I think I got away with it for a little while but it's come back to bite me in the form of 12 extra pounds. I've tried other diets but no success so I'm back on Atkins. I started today and looking forward to all the support and help that seems to be available on this amazing site.

Hi and welcome back to Atkins --

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. You don't have much to loose so it may not come off quickly but following the plan, will get it off!

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!
