Hi All

[ditzeeblonde]

I am my 3rd day of induction & feel so liberated about my eating for the first time in years!!

I lost 7 stone in 4 months in 2006 for my wedding doing a vlcd, then fell pregnant & went back to my old ways of eating so here I am doing it all over again!

I know I need to eat low carb as I can almost feel the carbs taking over me as soon as I eat them! So this is perfect for me... I also firmly believe since reading Atkins book that this is a WOE that I want my children to become used too!

Since starting Atkins I am amazed at the negativity when saying I am doing Atkins... I know all the hype in the media doesn't help but organic meats, green vegetables, no processed foods WHAT could be healthier??

I think all my years of low fat dieting is what has made me gain all these excess pounds... so now its time to change & hopefully install a better way of eating for me, my husband & my kids!

What a fabulous site BTW!

Welcome to our humble niche on the web. Judging by your reasons for choosing Atkins, I'd say you aren't as ditzy as your screen name implies.

I agree that most people frown upon hearing of a diet that goes against all typical diets, but you have to forgive these people for they have been brainwashed and know not what they do. That's the beauty of having a refuge like this board, where we are all of a like mind.
