Hello Everyone!

[KoolAid]

my name is Jen & i have been reading day after day and decided i would join the group! i am also reading a book called The Carbohydrate Addicts Diet besides my Dr Atkins New Diet Revolution and i was wondering if anyone has used both or either of these with success? The Carbohydrate Addicts Diet seems to be a little EASIER than Atkins since its not so Restrictive, but i just dont know which way to go? or which one is safer. any opinions? i weigh 260lbs and would love to be 150, but its HARD going Low Calorie or Low Fat, so i thought i would try Low Carb. i havent started yet, but i will soon! any good advice for me from all of you Veterans?

Hi KoolAid and Welcome to the board!

Of course, you know that I am going to tell you Atkins was the ticket for me. But, the best diet you can do, is the one you WILL do! The best thing you can do is to educate yourself on the choice you make.

Look around, make your self at home and ask questions! Alot of wonderful people here to help you!

Thanks BREN!!! down from 218 to 150??? Oh My Gosh!!! how long did that take you? i really am gonna try really hard this time! i think Low Carb is the thing for me! i am still reading alot though before i get started. i think i can do it. i would love to go down from 260 to 150!!! i know it had to have taken you at least a year or 2 right? any more good advice for a NEW Low Carber?

It took me over a year! But I am old! AND....... I still say I am a work in progress.
IF I CAN DO THIS ANYONE CAN!

You can do it! You can do it! You can do it!

Best advice I can give is to USE this board......... ask questions, cheer others on and get involved in the challenges.
