Atkins

KB- if you can get through the first week or so, you will notice several things: your sugar cravings (and for me, my potato/mashed/chipped/french fried cravings) pretty much disappear, and you will feel a lot more energetic. You will find the evening stroll after a long days work a whole lot easier to face then.

KB, I agree and concur with WB, making it through the first 4-7 days were the hardest on Atkins. Once you really DO cut out the sugar and all the no-no carbs, the cravings go away. Atkins, however, was not the diet for me (and I am unhappily one of those ex-Atkins who came out larger in the end).

I applaud your resolve to make a change in your life! That's the important step right there!

100% behind you and feel free to whine all you like, it's not an easy road.

With job stress like you and coming out of the tunnel of depression myself, exercise is making it's way back into my life and with a new attitude and a healthier diet, I'm hoping for slow and steady results to finally get down to a normal size (this will be a long haul for me).

You go! We're all with you, I know I am! You can do it!
