Atkins is not no carb, it is low carb. Be sure to eat at least 2 cups of green leafy veggies a day and 1 cup of other veggies. I eat a lot of food, and am never hungry, and have lost 54 pounds since Jan 24th. I have sent you a buddy request, andif you need any help, or just want to talk for support and mtivation, please feel free to contact me. The great thing about this site is that there are so many wonderful Atkineers here that are more than willing to help you out. And of course I will pray for you! You can do this. The first week is tough but after that it does get easier!
