Just a short hello....

[Hippocampus]

I started today with the Atkinsdiet, Phase 1.

Me in a nutshell:
My name is Sabine, I am in my 30´s, happily married and have a son.
As a hobby I love to play harp, I also like cooking....well.... and eating.

I would say until today I was addicted to sugar and sweets - and I am pretty excited to see what changes the Atkinsdiet holds for me.

We're excited to have you!! Lots of people around love to cook, and Atkins is so fantastic for having all these recipes that you can experiment with that are totally awesome! Even I cook now (instead of living off of takeout).

Welcome aboard! Do it exactly as it's written with no fudging and you will feel like a new person in two weeks!

Looking forward to seeing your progress!

Glad you found us. Welcome....
Are you doing Induction?

[Hippocampus]

Hi you all,

thanks for the warm welcome.

Yes, I´m doing induction, day 2 today...and I have a headache. Probably a good sign when I understand it right.

[Lyssie]

You know... Dr. Atkins says in the book that if you have flu like symptoms from induction to eat more veggies. He said that no person should need to go through feeling like that, and if you need to eat more than the 3c of veggies, then you should - not a *lot* more, and only ones that are on the acceptable list though.

Just my fyi of the day.

Thank you, Lyssie.

I need to run for groceries anyway today so I will have a closer look on my veggielist, that´s for sure.
