    Hi
    My name is Nat. I have just started Atkins this week and still quite unsure of how it all fits together. Some advice would be great. Have to loose 40 pounds in 5 months!

      Hi Nat,

      Welcome.

      Just what advice do you need?

      My first bit of advice is a question for you-----Do you have and have you read the book?

      You need to get off to a good start.

              Why do you "have to"? What happens if you don't?

                  Did you gain 40 pounds in 5 months? If not, you shouldn't expect to lose it in 5 months. It's possible for that to happen, but you shouldn't expect it. This diet is not sorcery, but it does work. It's more like the fountain of youth. After a 14 day cheat free induction you will have a good idea of how your body takes to this WOE.

                      Welcome Nat --

                      Follow the plan by the book, drink a minimum 64 ounces of pure water daily (nothing added), exercise and take a multivitamin with no iron and you're body will reward you with weight loss at it's own speed. Don't get discouraged if you don't loose X pounds in X days....it doesn't always work that way.

                      Good luck to you!

                          Hi All
                          How fantastic to get all these replies. I have the book and have read it. I have made my shopping list and am on day 3 of the Induction Programme. I will definately drink lots of water. I am going for IVF in 5 months time and need to have my BMI in a normal range before they will attempt it. I have had one treatment and it did not work, so hopefully by loosing some weight and getting a bit more healthy we will be able to concieve this time.
                          Thanks everyone for all your advice.
