Hi All. I’m Diana from Chicago. Have been lurking for a few days
and enjoy reading all of the posts. My husband and I started this
about 10 days ago and I’m down 7#s and he’s down about 10. We seem
to be doing ok as neither of us wants to be the first to cave. I
figure if he can give up fries, I can give up chocolate.
I’ve really enjoyed the tips that have been shared with regards to
new and different foods and would like to hear more. Last night for
dinner I had the BLT without the bread that someone suggested and it
was great.
I was wondering how the low-carb bars can be low carb when they have
about 20 and on OWL you’re only allowed 20 or so. Seems to me that
isn’t very low. Unless I’m looking at the wrong bars?

just got introduced to atkins today and have been reading. not sure
where to start. sorry if I sound stupid. I never realize how much
carbs were in things, never really read the labels just on sugar
numbers. have a lot to learn . so please bare with me on my questions
ok. thank you for allowing to join your group.

Hi everyone,
I was wondering if anyone has any ideas/suggestions for my
dilemma? Lat autumn I started the Atkins plan. I lost 40 pounds, my
clothes were almost falling off me, and I felt GREAT!!! Then, I
started getting very tired and sick; NOT due to the Atkins plan. It
turned out that I had gotten carbon monoxide poisoning from the
faulty gas heater in the house I rent. I told the idiot I rent from
many months before that I didn’t think the gas unit was working
properly. He did nothing. Anyway, I had to go to the ER and a new
heater has been put in. BUT!!! Here’s my problem! Ever since this
happened to me, I just can’t “get with it.” I’m not asking for
medical advice. I’ve lost my motivation. All I want to do is eat
all the wrong foods, and have gained back a third of the weight I
lost.
Also, I’m very tired now that I’m not doing Atkins. My life is
hectic. My days are very time-consuming. I’m a 49-year-old single
parent and homeschool my special needs daughter. I can’t afford to
buy the Atkins products/meals. I’m trying to find a way to get
motivated again. And I’m trying to find quick, easy, economical
dinners; lo carb, lo fat tasty dinner recipes and desserts.
Any ideas/recipes???
Thanks so much!

Are there any men in this group? My husband went on the Atkins diet
one week ago..today and has lost seven pounds! The first few days
nothing..then today ..a total of seven pounds! I think that is
remarkable since he has tried many other ways to lose with not much
loss! He is 70 yrs old and weighed 300 lbs…is diabetic and has
had a liver transplant..needless to say..takes a lot of medicines
that helped add to his weight problem. Thought some of you would
like to hear about him..Lou

You have to read the “net” carb which is the total carb minus sugar alcohols
and fiber.

Also, when checking the carb counts on the bars, they are all near 20 per
serving. If we’re only allowed 25 on OWL, how can these possibly be low carb?

Hello everyone. I just started doing Atkins today. Looking forward
to hearing what and how everyone else is doing.
