Hi.....new and nervous

[nichola-anne]

My name is Nichola-anne and I am happy to be here. I have been reading this board for the last couple of weeks and purchased the book. I am looking forward to starting a new way of life. I feel so bad about myself, so I am looking at this change as a way to kick start positive belief in myself.......something that I have lost in the last few years

Welcome to ADBB!

Is there anything we can help with?

Do you have your eating planned for the next few days?

Re: Hi.....new and nervous

I am new too and nervous also. I have been eating the Atkins way since Monday but tonight I am suppose to go to dinner at a seafood food restaurant. Any suggestions? I normally get everything fried so I am a little anxious about not having it fried.

welcome to ADBB and to atkins.
Glad you got the book so you will understand the whys about the food restrictions on atkins.

if you haven't yet be sure you do some measuring so you can see how many inches of body fat you are losing cause some times the scales don't validate the hard work you will be doing.

Do they have a website where you can look things up?

It's always a good idea to plan ahead what you're going to eat ...

look at websites for ingredients and nutrtional values if you can

if not ask for something steamed or grilled with no added sauces or marinades. some shell fish have more carbs then others so go easy on things like scallops.

butter is always good. if you are going to red lobster ask them not to put the biscuits on your table cause some how those darn things jump inot low carb folks mouths.

Re: Hi.....new and nervous

Can you post a link to the website ... we can help.

Also, this is an important phrase ... "No, thank you."

Re: Hi.....new and nervous

ask for your veggies to be plain steamed

Re: Hi.....new and nervous

wecome nichola-anne and abba - nothing to be nervous about, you should be excited! Just be prepared, know in advance what you're going to order and stick to the plan. Try not to get frustrated and discouraged, come back and post often, read and share.

You will do great...believe in yourselves!

Re: Hi.....new and nervous

Good luck Nichola-Ann,
Today is my fourteenth day, and I have lost 10.4 pounds. I just registered on this site a few minutes ago. My appetite has really diminished, and I have to remember to eat a lot of the time!
25 more pounds to go!
