Hi,
So I noticed another person, Vapor something posted about being a newbie and asked for suggestions and in two days she's no longer a member.. Is Atkins that hard?
Today is day 2 for me... so far its not been that difficult. I've tried many other diets and never stick because I just lose interest in counting calories, or just end up eating too many carbs! Just this past Sunday I saw my cousin who lost 35 pounds in 2 months doing Atkins and he gave me a big pep talk, so here I am! My biggest struggle is drinking water, which ironically needs to be done even without a diet.
I look forward to chatting with everyone, please feel free to friend me, the more support the better!
btw, any ideas on snacks besides pork rinds??
Thanks
Elizabeth

I don't have many snack suggestions: diet jello, Canadian ham, hard boiled eggs.
I think Atkins is easier in some ways, because the protein is filling and cravings go away after a couple days. The monotony is a bit of a struggle for me. It does take some planning. I have three little boys so we have a ton of fruit, and I find that hard to resist, but it will be worth it.
Remember, guys lose faster but it will come off. I'm only on day 22 and the weight stalled for the entire second week...but the scale is finally moving again.0
