HI an Welcome

Hi, nice to have you around!
Just a small correction, it's a way of life, not a diet! If you go back to your old eating habits after you drop those 20 pounds you will easily gain them back.

I would advise you to read the book (the 2002 edition). If you don't play by the "Atkins rules", all you'll do is a low carb diet.

Anyway, welcome on board! This place is really great and there are a lot of things you can learn around.

I agree. The book is one of the most important tools for losing weight because it is a reference 24/7. I have three of them. One in the house, one in my purse and one in my suitcase. It has helped me over and over numerous times when I've been unsure of things, depressed and tempted. Read it, use the strength and the advice that Dr. Atkins has written. It is the best $ you'll ever spend and one that keeps giving over and over again.
