Today I was at my Atkins site looking for any blog that said they had been on the diet for a few weeks and saw weigh gain instead of loss, even though they had followed the diet exactly. In one of the blogs it was suggest that instead of trying to log on in Atkins they should try this site.This was a great suggestion. I'm finding that the site gives you every tool you need to accurately log your food values. You get all the information you could possibly need. Amazing!
So on that note I will introduce myself by saying hello to all who reads this. I look forward and welcome any advise along with encouragement.

It is such a drastic change! This was my first time dieting EVER and I had a really hard time. I gave my self a pre-introduction week because it took me a few days to figure out what foods were allowed and not allowed. I discovered Atkins after I decided to do a carb free diet so my first 3 days were a mess! Im on day 7 but offically day 4. You might want to try that as well, decrease your carbs as you go instead of a drastic cut off. Thats what worked for me!

I did the drastic cut off and other than having night time cravings.I'm doing ok. Just want to make sure I'm not screwing upon my daily menu too bad.

I also did a drastic cut in carbs, basically following the keckwick diet which atkins approves for a stall or rapid weight loss. You also cut your calorie intake as well. This is what has worked for me. I still get some cravings, but its getting better as I go along. Good luck to you guys!
If you have the right mindset then nothing can stop you from reaching your goals! Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels!

Even though fat doesn't count in Atkins, it can cause you to gain or not lose weight if you consume too much. Be careful of over eating this nutrient. ie: cream, cream cheese.
