If it's too good to be true, it probably is. You've heard it before. Right?
That's what I tell my kids all the time.
I mean - come on - a diet without hunger? That's ridiculous.
Not so, you say? Well, you must be an Atkins diet veteran.
I wouldn't have believed it either, but my husband and I started Atkins on February 1st. After two weeks, there were some important realizations. We realized that we were literally addicted to high carb foods and refined sugar.
I'm embarassed to say that we rarely shopped the walls of a grocery store. I mean, that's where the food is that you have to prepare, cook, maybe even add seasonings. I was happy to tell people that, "I don't cook." We'd eat out at least three times a week, order in or fast food the others.
Well, needless to say, I found my kitchen - the big room with the microwave and coffee maker - dusted off my pots, pans, grill and cooking utensils. And - now we're cookin'.
By the way, did I mention that we've both lost 10 lbs. Oh yeah baby!
We're off to a great start. We need to work on exercising and drinking more water.
I'm realistic though. I know it's going to be challenging and maybe even hard at times. That's why I'm glad I found ADBB - an amazing resource and source of inspiration! Thanks to everyone who participates!
I look forward to being an active participant and hopefully an inspiration to a few throughout this jouney. Good luck to all!!
