Hi Country Mates
Hi Marion. Hi Gaz.
I've been doing Atkins since middle of May. Love it. It was hard at first. I was (I later realised) a complete junkie - carb addict. I do feel much better, have tons of energy, no mood swings and I have lost weight - not as much as I could have or I would have like to.
I lost 4kg during induction which was just great. Then hit a plateau - seems to be quite normal from the posts I've read. Only the dissappointment of NOT losing after losing so much was too much for me - I cheated.
Funny you should mention waist Gaz. I lost a lot of inches around my waist - can't remember exactly now but I was impressed!
helpful tips .... huh ... first week ... stay committed. Any addictions you have will make a big noise and your subconcious will keep telling u this is not the right diet for me for 1001 reasons. Ignore it. Get through Induction before you decide. 14 days is not that long in a lifetime. Could this be what's really happened to your wife Gaz?
There's hidden carbs lurking everywhere <s>. I found the best way of avoiding them was not buy anything ready-prepared. Know what is going into the food.
How is it going for you so far?
Take care.
