Newbie to BB

[maemae]

Hello everyone,
I'm new to the BB, so please be patient with me. I've done Atkins before with success, stopped, and I'm back again. Different diets (fads) since 2002 has me at my heaviest weight. I've been on induction for 2 weeks, but have not kept a detailed log ( I should have ) but have lost 5 pds. I'll try to post at least once a week. I do browse quiet often, however, and have learned bunches.

Hi and welcome back -- Here is a little information I hope will refresh your memory and help get you going again. To loose and keep the weight off follow the plan the way Dr. Atkins wrote it. The plan works if you follow it the way it is written and don’t try to do it “your way” – obviously “your way” doesn’t work or you wouldn’t be here!

Check the STAC Second Time Around Club - Atkins Diet for additional support. We also have challenges for members to join, some are exercise related and some aren’t. Also start a journal and post your thoughts along the way.

Check the stickies (information posts) at the top of the induction page - http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/atkins-diet-14-day-induction/ – it’s an easy way to answer questions you may have if you can’t find your copy of the book.


Stay away from the shakes and bars (they are NOT legal on induction because of their ingredients and have caused stalling to many people) - eat a variety of foods off the acceptable food list, (making sure you get your fats, carbs and protein in daily), drink a minimum of 64 ounces of pure water (nothing added), take supplements and exercise.

Check the recipe sites also - they are very helpful and will help make your meals so much more enjoyable. Make sure you are using induction recipes until you move on to OWL (ongoing weight loss)

So how much weight do you have to lose, maemae? What are your stats?

Welcome back to Atkins, Maemae!

I did the same thing you did before I realized that Atkins is the only diet that really works and can be maintained over the long haul. Congratulations on taking charge of your life and your eating. Good luck to you!

Hi maemae, and welcome to ADBB. Even though I have done Atkins before I find I learn something new every day here and the support factor is wonderful.
