jillymeg is on a distinguished road
Default Hello from Kent in the U.K.

Hello everyone.
I started Atkins this time around in the beginning of March. I have lost 18lb., so far, hurrah!! I did a similar diet when in my teens (about 40 years ago, alas), and lost very quickly. I tried it again in 1997 without much success, but this time I'm going for the Atkins W.O.L., as all I have read convinces me of its ongoing health benefits.
I had breast cancer 3 years ago, and have now found out that a low carb therefore low sugar diet may help prevent a recurrence. So, gotta do it now, for sure.
regards to all
Jillymeg

Hi Jillymeg! Welcome to the board. A low carb, sugar free diet is good for everyone! It's the carbs and sugar that we are all addicted to. You might want to pick up a new copy of the 2002 DANDR, things have changed since the 80's!!!!

Heya Jillymeg! You're doing wonderfully...18 lbs! Good for you and welcome back to Atkins. Nice to have you aboard.

Silly's right... a copy of DANDR 2002 would be a good thing. Interesting to see the revisions that Dr A made and useful because it's the one the board goes by (being the last one written entirely by Dr A).

Don't hesitate to give a shout if you need help!
