New ( to website) not atkins

[notjustaprettyface]

Hi all:

I am starting once again, but this time I decided to get support, my family doesn't understand. I have 40 lbs that I would like to loose, however it depends on what my body will let me do, is where I will set my final goal.

Doing Atkin's is not a choice for me. I have a body that does not accept carbohydrates. I have sever reactions, not only weight gain, but stomach aches, and digestion issues, so for me it is a nessicity.

I look forward to meeting all of you, and hearing how you choose to deal with your challenges on a daily basis.

Cheers,

[Desertthorn]

Hi and welcome -- I'm the only one in my household on Atkins so I understand when you say your family doesn't understand. Stand your ground and you'll be fine!

Exercise, take a non-iron multivitamin and drink a minimum 64 ounces of pure water (nothing added), daily. Start a journal, it's a great place to get everything out in the open, be accountable to yourself - you'll also meet some great people there! http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.c...journal-chats/. There’s something for everyone here! Since you've done Atkins before you may enjoy the STAC (second time around club), they have a daily sign in that people enjoy Second Time Around Club - Atkins Diet.

Make sure you eat a variety of foods and vegetables and count all “net carbs”. Plan your meals for a few days so you have everything in your home and you won’t be tempted to eat something not allowed. Check Linda's recipe site it will help keep you from eating the same thing over and over -- http://www.genaw.com/lowcarb/menus.html.

Good luck!
