Hi Shalisa
Welcome. Glad you are posting here. Is this an introduction or is it a question you may have wanted to post in a forum - like the induction forum perhaps. I can move it there if you like.

Is it OK to drink diet Coke?
The answer is probably not. Atkins tells us to avoid caffeine and aspartame both of which are in the diet coke.

Meat (or eggs, fish, poultry) and veggies are what you should eat. If you read the rules that is what they say. Cheese you should not eat too much of and Atkins bars are only for emergency.

For exercise I suggest - whatever you can do. Threadmill is good but you may want to do some weight lifting or/and exercise for toning and flexibility as well.

I think you are already eating too much sweets. You need to break this dependency. Try to cut it out.

You are allowed three artificial sweeteners a day (bars are stuffed with sweeteners - so you use up your ration with those quickly)

I hope that helps. Keep reading the stickies so that you know what the rules are. And if you have not checked out Atkins' book, do so.

(Sorry Phil - I had to to it)

Welcome to the Atkins Board.


Make sure you drink a minimum of 64 ounces of pure water (nothing added), exercise starting today and taking a multi-vitamin. If you haven't already, read the 2002 Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution (DANDR).

Eat the foods on the acceptable food list (What foods can be eaten on Induction?)http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/atkins-low-carb-dieting-faqs/6781-what-foods-can-eaten-induction.html and find wonderful recipes here: just make sure you use Induction Recipes to begin with. Vary your meals so you don't get tired of eating the same thing over and over -- we have too many choices for that to happen.

I use ticker factory, at the end of all the choices and forms it will show your ticker with HTML in the address. Go into profile and look for the place to edit your signature, just paste the HTML address into the place for a signature and it should show up.
Also everytime I try to have a bar or a shake or buy something from a deli I find myself having problems. If I stick to real food I made myself all is fine. Everything else gives me trouble. But there is a list of places that have lowcarb meals for people to eat if they have to eat out. I believe its in the food section. I have went out, had the low carb and gained from the salt and diet coke! Its just water but still disturbing.

You should drink decaf - caffeine isn't really the best thing you can drink...also make sure you get enough water....64 ounces minimum (pure water, nothing added) daily.
