    HI Avi --

    We use the 2002 Dr Atkins New Diet Revolution (DANDR) as our guideline here on the board. Eat foods listed on the acceptable food list http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/atkins-low-carb-dieting-faqs/6781-what-foods-can-eaten-induction.html. Make sure you eat a variety of foods and vegetables and count all “net carbs”. (net carbs are carb minus fiber equal net carbs) - check a program like www.Fitday.com to help keep track of your daily food.

    Plan your meals for a few days so you have everything in your home. 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.

    Exercise, take a non-iron multivitamin and drink a minimum 64 ounces (approx
    1.89 litre) of pure water (nothing added), daily.

    A journal is a great place to get everything out in the open, be accountable to yourself - you'll also meet some great people – you can start one here: http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.c...journal-chats/.

    If you need anything we’re here to help each other every step of the way! Good luck!
    Carole

      Welcome to ADBB Avi

      You've come to a great place, with lots of friendly people. It's a great place to get any questions you have answered (just remember, you will get the Right Answer, not the answer you may want to hear )

      Good for you to take control of your health now while you are young. I know what helps me is to come to the board daily, post often, and join in some of the challenges. It helps to keep accountable.

      Best wishes in your journey.

        Make sure you do it properly. As the others suggest, get the book and read it. It will save you frustration, time and will help you understand the process. Wishing you success!

        HW 298
        HW (this time) 248
        GOAL ONE 228         (take 2)
        GOAL TWO 213 (personal goal)
        GOAL THREE 199 ONE-DERLAND
        FINAL GOAL 165

         It's not about the results. Its about the process.
