  • Where to start... :)

    Hello.

    I guess I will introduce myself : )

    I have been overweight since I was 13... can anyone say puberty? :P Arg those darn hormones, all over the place! I was a slim child before that. But knowledge then wasn't as it is today, and what it will be tommorrow! So I cannot blame my parents for it... And I won't. As a young adult I plan to take my health into my own hands.

    I have actually read Gary Taubes' book (it's my bible!)because I like to read about health and nutrition and his book really was a shocker. I was, like many, told to count calories and eat a variety of foods... even had a trainer and a nutritionnist argue with me after reading his book! I remember hearing about Atkins years ago without thinking much of it. Then that Dr Atkins had passed away, with some rumours that it was his diet...anyways! (May he R.I.P.)

    Today, I am INFORMED!! Everything makes sense and I have fallen into Atkins because I know what it does and how it works. I am very surprised how many people can follow 'diets' blindly and hope for the best. Even on Atkins, I hope people know what good it can do!

    Enough ranting

    It is nice to meet you!

    Welcome to ADBB!

    You're reading Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution (2002), too, right?

      Yes I am reading it now. I also read the newer one but the more informed, the better!
      I meant to say that Good Calories, Bad Calories opened my eyes on the subject and that Atkins is NOT just another diet. It's a very intelligent lifestyle choice.

      I'm actually on Atkins since a couple of months now with one fall back at Easter... Having an Easter Lunch at my Italian inlaws isn't good for Atkins! I need to be more prepared

      Anyways, thanks for the welcome note!

        Since you've been on Atkins for a few months, you should consider moving to OWL.
