Hello 
...I "was" so excited to start the Atikins plan...believe me, I need all the help I can get. I'm at 308, 5'5" and I am 32 years old. My hubby and I have no children..because I suffer from PCOS (mostly caused by obesity and too much sugars)...so the Atkins is the ideal plan for me to try and reverse my PCOS and lose the weight I know I need to lose.
My hubby and I are doing this together...and I am so happy for his support....but I (we need more). We bought the book (2002 edition) and I have read most of it. We are on day two. We are just so darn confused...or should I say I am. Here is my dilemma:
I understand that we should be eating no more or less than 20 net carbs a day and that 11 to 15 of them should be veggies. I went on the Atkins site to look at the 2 week menu plan that they had for induction and printed out some of the recipes from there. Some of them called for items that in the book clearly say we cannot have. For instance, one of them said two tablespoons of balsamic vinegar...but in the book it is not allowed during induction. Our biggest problem...getting the veggies in and finding recipes to give us the net carbs we need.
I thought we were so prepared...but I am starting to feel frusterated because I know we are not hitting our carb count and like I said, we are on day two..so I already feel like a failure
I've just tried so many weight loss plans, and I have succeeded in the past, but have always gained it back. I just want to be happy again, and love the skin I am in. I'm glad I found this website and look forward to meeting you all. Thank you!!
