2008 Atkins...
Just started DAY 1 of Atkins. The many days I spent eating crap in the edit coupled with the gluttony of the holidays has me feeling larger than ever.
Anyone starting as well?
I had three eggs for b-fast this morning and am trying to figure out lunch.
Anyone who has fabulous atkins recipes would be much appreciated in sharing them.
GOOD LUCK...
PS, this is my first "official" diet ever. I am scared to fail.

Re: 2008 Atkins...
I am on Atkins now for the past month.
I usually have like three egg whites w/ mozzarella cheese and 2 slices of tomato.
For Lunch: Maybe a hamburger minus the bun, or egg salad, or tuna salad, or a salad with protein.
Dinner: I may have any kind of protein with salad.
I also drink tons of water.
I will suggest that you go to any pharmacy and purchase a box of ketostix. This helps me to keep track of when my body is in Ketosis also it motivates me when the stick has a dark shade of purple.
If you have any questions let me know.
Good luck!
I would recommend this forum also. www.lowcarbsite.com

yes, cheese, hard boiled/deviled eggs, any knd of meat with some fat (mayo, etc) is great too
fat is what fills you up

OK...it's not "terrible" but I do feel hungrier even though I feel like I am eating more.
On a beneficial note, I feel so much less bloated than I was last week
BUT, this two week induction may kill me.
