Need to get started
Hi Peoples, I am trying to get the courage to get started on the
Atkins diet. I did it once before and I did lose weight, but I get so bored. I don't really like eggs or cheese without crackers. I want to do this, my doctor has told me I have to do this, but I am such a cake and cookie and candy bar and chip person. Does anybody know how to do a low carb diet and not crave all the forbidden C-foods? Also, I need to mention, that I don't have a lot of money for all those expensive substitute foods from the Atkins store. If I can make this work for me, I want to try and get my 8 year old boy on it. He weighs 135 lbs. Thanks for any help you can give me. |

The best investment you can make is to go out and buy the book. Read it
and start Atkins right away. Then read it again a few times so that everything sinks in. Keep it around as a reference. cake and cookie and candy bar and chip person. Does anybody know how to do a low carb diet and not crave all the forbidden C-foods? Also, If you do Atkins correctly, you should not crave any of those high carb foods starting after day 2 or 3. I need to mention, that I don't have a lot of money for all those expensive substitute foods from the Atkins store. If I can make this You don't need any of those expensive subsitutes. If you would like a substitute for something, a recipe for it is generally available by doing a google search. http://tinyurl.com/xmvr -- Jim Marnott 231/194/194 (Hit goal on 22 Nov '03 -- exactly 6 months later) Atkins since 22 May '03 Gym since 1 sept '03 |

*snip* If I can make this work for me, I want to try and get my 8 year old boy on it. He weighs 135 lbs. Please check out: http://atkins.com/helpatkins/newfaq/...doAtkins_.html "Can children or teenagers do Atkins? The number of children and teens who are overweight or obese has reached epidemic proportions. The Atkins Nutritional ApproachTM can be followed by children and teens if it is recommended by a physician, who also monitors the program to ensure that the proper foods and supplements are consumed and that weight loss does not occur too rapidly, which could stunt growth. (emphasis added) But remember, young children tend to eat the way their parents do. That's why it's important that the whole family eat healthy, balanced meals. We suggest that you cut out sugar, processed food, junk food and other refined carbohydrates. The earlier parents instill good nutritional habits, the healthier their children will be-now and in the future. You can also set a good example in being physically fit." |
