Talking Heelllooooo!

Hi Everyone

I just finished reading the book by Dr Atkins and I must say I was totally surprised by what I read - I always thought the Atkins way of eating was completely unhealthy and irresponsible .

I plan to start on Tuesday, 20 March 2007, will give myself tomorrow to binge on carbs for the last time.

I am very excited about this new eating plan and I hope it will be as easy as it seems.

Hope to meet a lot of new friends here at this forum.

Welcome! I'm glad you found this site. It really helps keep you motivated to read and post a lot. Before you start, take your measurements. Sometimes you will lose inches when the scale doesn't move, and it's nice to be able to see that.

I'm just curious.. If you thought Atkins was unhealthy and irresposible, what made you read the book? I'm glad you did though! Many who think that way don't learn about it and just bash it without the knowledge.

Good for you for reading the book and making up your own mind to eat this way. You will see, it's very easy and satisfying! So, today is your day #1, how's it going so far?
