Welcome Aboard Claire
Hi Claire
Welcome to the board. Best place to come for inspiration, motivation, tips and laughter ... oh and some serious discussion on current topics as well.
The first two weeks are crucial. Sometimes they can be hard as carb-withdrawal symptoms kick in. But after 3-4 days you will begin to feel so much better and start losing weight so well that you will find it easier to carry on. Important that you do restrict your cabs to less than 20g/day though.
I would recommend that you stay with real food. Meat, fish, eggs, cheese etc. Dr Atkins has covered it thoroughly in his book.
You might consider starting a journal to keep track of your progress and get some feedback from others on the board.
Remember to weigh and measure yourself tomorrow so you will know what you were at the start of the diet.
Take care.
