  • Just started, have question

    Glad to be here. I don't have any chit-chat, and I don't know what those who read this may want to know. I'm open to questions from any of you, and right now will only say what the reason is for me doing Atkins and being here on this board.

    I read a really good article by Doctor Barry Groves. The name of the article is The Naive Vegetarian. It can be found at The Naive Vegetarian - Second Opinions, UK

    After reading the referred to article and thinking it over a little, I remembered my brother-in-law talking about the Atkins Diet. From what my bro-in-law told me, I thought Atkins sounded like the best way to try this new--to me--way of eating. It's actually the oldest diet in history.

    I'm convinced that Atkins is the way to go, and have read his book and started eating accordingly. I'm happy with it.

    That's all I have to say, but will respond to anything from anyone.

    HI and Welcome Dale --

    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”.

    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 of pure water (nothing added), daily.


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

        Hi Dale, you are right about this diet being closest to what had, for thousands of years, been the human diet until processed flour, sugar, and other nasty things entered our diet. No wonder I always feel better when sticking to Atkins! LOL Welcome to ADBB.
