Hello=

I am (re) starting Atkins today. I was wondering if anyone on MFP is doing Atkins as well? If so, would you like to buddy up?

I also start my new job today. I hope this job goes perm! Wish me luck!

    Atkins is not totally eliminating carbs its eliminating sugars and refined flour. You get carbs from veggies and fruit. I understand then that you are not doing it. Thank you for posting that you are NOT doing Atkins. I am looking for those that ARE doing Atkins. I apologize if my post was not clear enough.

    Have a nice day.
    :wink:

    Then dont reply to the post that you are NOT doing Atkins or something similar. I am only looking for those that are changing their eating habits to avoid sugars and refined carbs.

    Thank you!

    Hi Ilene. I'm doing Atkins. Have been for 3 weeks now and have lost almost 20 lbs. I know a few people here are also doing Atkins. Welcome aboard.

    Yes, I am doing something similar to it, more of a balance between my carbs and protein and only healthy protein---I am on an amazing program.!

    I'm an Atkins girl too, and here's a tip for using MFP. Remember net carbs = carbs - fiber - sugar alcohol. There is no entry on MFP for sugar alcohols. For Atkins brand products on the database, look up for example "Atkins Day Break apple net", and you'll find where users have listed them with net carbs. Hope this helps!

    I am doing Atkins. I am in the OWL phase right now. I lost 75 pounds in the last year pretty much in OWL. I get cranky if I stay on Induction for too long. It's nice to have nuts, legumes, and fruit :)

    Add me if you want.

    I have just started Atkins today, and I would love to join your group. I downloaded MFP last summer, but I just started using it a week ago. Feel free to add me
