I am starting over with MFP and am going to do Atkins. However I have never done Atkins before so, I am needing and wanting friends that are or have done Atkins.

**Yes I understand that Atkins is not for everyone and not everyone thinks it is healthy BUT, it is my choice since it is my body. Thank you**

    Add me if you like, I'm low carb, pretty much the Atkins extended induction plan. Also there is an Atkins forum here, a low carb forum, and a keto forum, you might want to consider joining one or all of those. Also, there is an official Atkins website you can google.

    Here's alow carb discussion group: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/394-low-carber-daily-forum-the-group

    I don't follow Atkins, but I have greatly reduced my carb intake. I like it, it works for me.

    I did Atkins and gained it all back after. It was too strict for me at that time. I think they have relaxed a little on certain veggies and things as carbs. I wish you well. Will you be able to make this a lifestyle or just looking for a jump start?

    I do Atkins. You can download the Atkins app for free. I love it. Join the forums the others mentioned and you may find lots of yummy recipes. I also downloaded the Spark Recipes app and typed in "low carb" in the search box and found a ton if recipes that I saved to favorites. I love low carb! I love the way I feel and that I'm not starving or having crazy cravings! I do plan on doing it for life. You can add me if you'd like. I'm on here everyday. Good luck!
