First, I'd say to buy the book if you haven't already and read, read, read! Dr. Atkins tells you how to follow the diet the right way! :) Many people have the wrong idea about the diet and do not follow it correctly and then the diet gets a bad reputation when it's usually the person's fault because they had no idea how to follow the diet correctly. So that's my advice to you. and.... stay on this website! There are some wonderful people with great advice and support on here! You will love the support! good luck to you!!  

Oh, and check out the website: Atkins.com They have free classes you can take on line! The classes help a lot with learning the diet as well. :) You can even ask questions and get answers! 

Hi and welcome! The best advice I have for you other than what has been posted is to not let yourself get overwhelmed. keep healthy snacks from the allowed list so if you need to munch you have it handy. Here is a site I found useful: http://www.geocities.com/cherilynn82000/Newbiepage.html
