Hello I'm new :D

[Charmedlassie]

I am just over two stone overweight and sick of it.
This is the first diet I am trying as my weight is now getting me down and want to do something about it now rather than later
Got the book today so will be some bedtime reading.

I will have chance my whole lifestyle...I don't have meals, just loads of rubbish throughout the day. I made a diary and noticed that I eat tons of carbs...chocolate, crips, bread, noodles so I thought Atkins would help me with my..well addiction really!!

I hope I can do it
Me at the moment.

Welcome to ADBB.
Hope you had a good read of the Atkins book. It tells you what to do. Relay not whole foods - cut down on virtually ALL carb except the few cups of legal veggies and drink plenty of clean water.
Good luck to you

Welcome to the Atkins Board.

I hope you get through the book before you start - or at least through the induction part, that way you'll know what you're doing and hopefully won't make any mistakes.

Drink a minimum 64 ounces of pure water daily, exercise and take a non-iron multivitamin.

Don't forget to eat enough vegetables (check the acceptable food list (What foods can be eaten on Induction?)http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/atkins-low-carb-dieting-faqs/6781-what-foods-can-eaten-induction.html) - 2 cups from the first list and 1 cup from the 2nd list daily. Rules of Induction: http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.c...induction.html (What are the Rules of Induction?)

The recipe sites will help keep you from eating the same thing over and over -- check them out!
