My name is Tere and I am from Italy, specifically from sunny Naples.
I weight 77.7 kg now and I aim to get down to 60 in 2010.
This is my first time on the atkins diet, but without knowing I had already been following a sort of low carb diet prescripted from my doctor last year. At that time I felt great, but I decided not to go back to the same doctor and diet and choose atkins because I had been given some appetite suppressants, that I hope I won t need this time. My mother has type II diabetes, and I am determined not to go down the same road, I live with her and being both on a diet I find it is not that difficoult to stick to the program while I am at home. It s a different story when going to aunt's house though.
Oh, and I feel hungry all the time.
I am on day 4 of induction now, and I have been reading the forum for quite a while before deciding to jump in.

So, I am determined to see this through and I thank you in advance for your support ]]> THE SPOTLIGHT INTRODUCE YOURSELF happynatsu http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/spotlight-introduce-yourself/83086-newby-italy.html http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/main-atkins-diet-forum/83085-atkins-life.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 19:28:52 GMT I ordered and received the book "Atkins for Life". It arrived last night. I've only had the chance to scan through it, but look forward to reading it more soon.

One thing that I found interesting was in a gray box amidst one of the chapters. It was basically for people that only had this book and hadn't used the 2002 book with all 4 phases. (This book is obviously geared mostly towards phase 3 and 4.) It said if you have more than a few pounds to lose, you should start with induction. If you only have a few pounds to lose, start with 60mg carbs a day and see what happens. If you're losing, stay there and add 5mg carbs a week until you gain and then back down by 5mg and you're good to go. If you don't lose or you gain on 60, lower to 50 and then see how that goes...and so on.

I just found it to be interesting and just a different take on basically the same diet for those with little to lose. I would definitely stick myself in this category as I only have 5-10lbs to lose. I'm not going to suddenly up my carbs to 60 to try this way instead, but I am inching my way up. I don't know what would have been easier. It's so nice not being hungry all the time and I wonder if starting at 60 would have the negative of not eliminating cravings. Who knows.

It's got nice recipes in the back of the book too. Seems like a good buy and I look forward to reading more.

YEA ME!!! sO i DIDN'T BRING MY LUNCH TO WORK TODAY, SO i WAS GOING TO RUN DOWN THE STREET TO GET A CHICKEN CEASAR SALAD. wELL ON MY WAY, I SAY ANOTHER RESTAURANT BUFFET TYPE AND DECIDED TO GO IN TO SEE WHAT THEY HAVE. :running:

sO I SCOPED THE COUNTERS AND SAW WHITE RICE AND CORN, SOME FETUCCINI, SOME BBQ, ETC... KEPT WALKING KEPT WALKING :running: THEN I SAW GREEN BEANS, SPINACH, CABBAGE, SOME GRILLED CHICKEN, SOME ROASTED CHICKEN, SOME FRIED SHRIMP... OH MY. SO I JUMPED TO THE NEXT COUNTER AND SAW CHICKEN SALAD, TUNA SALAD, LETUCES AND RAW VEGETABLES, SOME BOILED EGGS, SOME JELLO-S. WELL U GET THE POINT. i ASKED ONE OF THE WORKERS THERE HOW THEY PREPARED THE GREEN BEANS AND ROASTED CHICKEN. GREEN BEANS SAUTED IN BUTTER SO I GOT ME A FEW OF THOSE (COULDN'T MEASURE BUT I ONLY DID ABOUT 15 STRINGS; THE CHICKEN SEASONED AND ROASTED SO I GOT ME A THIGH AND LEG... A SLICE OF FRESH AVOCADO AND THE BEST TREAT OF ALL THAT i FOUND, ALL FRESH COOKED SHRIMP, SCALLIONS, DICED TOMATO, CILANTRO, JALAPENO, SEASONED WITH SALT AND LEMON JUICE. aAAAWWWWW. AND IT WAS SO GOOD. I DIDN'T MEASURE CUZ I PICKED OFF MOST OF THE TOMATO BUT THE SHRIMP AND SCALLION WAS SO GOOD. I ATE IT AS A SIDE SO ALL TOGETHER WAS ABOUT 1 CUP. I STAYED AWAY FROM ALL THE PASTAS AND RICES AND EVEN THE GRILLED CHICKEN CUZ IT HAD SOME KIND OF GRAVY SO I AVOIDED THAT. BUT ALL IN ALL, IT SEEMED ACCEPTABLE. i WON'T EAT IT EVERYDAY, CUZ i HAVE BEEN GOOD IN BRINGING MY LUNCH EVERYDAY, BUT TODAY I DIDN'T HAVE A CHANCE TO PREPARE IT LAST NIGHT.. BUT THIS PLACE CAN BE A LAST ALTERNATIVE.

So, if you Love pumpkin, you might want to stock up what you find til next years harvest.

but, since I'm on Day 5 of Induction, doesn't apply.

I need to hit the gym :running: at 5:30 a.m. (time management) - before Atkins, i wouldn't eat b4 the gym, but I can't do that know... I'm SO hungry when i get up - i have to eat something.

What would you suggest? Is there something I can drink :Drinkin: rather than eat (besides water, which i drink the entire time at gym). And then do I eat immediately after workout - i usually wouldn't eat until i was in work - 3 hours later.

I got pregnant and gained a TON of weight, I mean I ate everything, cookies, bagels, candy, chips, cheetos, pizza....GOD I love pizza...ANYWAYS, I just ate and ate and my body right now is showing what eating everything in sight will do to a gal. I ballooned from 145lbs in 06 to after giving birth weighing in at 215...

which is where I'm at now...I actually lost about 20 lbs, working out, trying low fat....which failed miserably b/c i gained it all back.

none of my clothes fitting didnt do it for me, I made excuses, "I had a baby, I'm allowed to be this big" I blamed it on my PCOS 'I have a disorder thats why I'm this big its hard for me to lose weight" and with both of those being parts of my life...nothing made me fly so quicker back towards my old WOE than when someone mentioned this guy I knew liked me...now I have a b/f and a child so I wasn't worried nor interested in that or him, but the real thing was that it is a known fact I guess (I didnt know this at first) that he likes big women...now not to knock any bbw's out there but sometimes when you gain you don't see urself for as big as you truly are...and at THAT moment of realizing this, I was like 'wow, he is attracted to me because I am fat. wonderful"

Sometimes its the little things in life that can make you look at urself and say "I gotta do this for me"


and ladies that was it lol.
