    I'm not doing Atkins, but i have dramatically reduced my carb intake as the calories are so high in pasta/bread/rice etc. Good luck eliminating carbs completely!

    Hi and good luck with your diet plan.
    There are lots of fellow low carbers here which is a great support system. I eat really low carb, but its more Dukan than Atkins.
    If you would like to add me feel free.

    Hi!
    Atkins is no bread pasta etc etc right? I'm another newbie attempting to switch to a vegan wholefoods diet- and trying to keep as many carbs out as humanly possible!! I haven't eaten bread or pasta for months now, and barely any potatoes :)
    If you'd like to add me, go for it! I'd love to chat with you about the diet, don't know a huge amount about Atkins tho! :)

    Hello!

    I just sent a friend request through :)
    I love Atkins and the way it makes me feel, as I've recently found out I'm insulin resistant and low carb just gives me so much more energy!

    Good Luck :)

    im not doing the atkins diet as such but i have reduced simple carbs from my diet, i still eat alot of fruit and veg and i eventually want to eat a paleolithic diet which is similar to the caveman diet where you eat only what you can grow, pick, catch, no processed foods at all but i am weaning myself off slowly tehe

    My workmate is doing atkins and she has just lost 10kgs after 8 weeks:) so it obviously works!

    good luck and feel free to add me:)

    Hello

    Good to see another South African.

    I personally dont agree with the Atkons diet, I firmly believe in Gareth Cliffs diet... "Eat less, run more" lol, simple but efficient.

    Thanks peeps, will dig around a bit and see what I can find.
    I know Atkins works I did about 10 years ago and lost 15kg in 3 months!

    its just to find the motivation, recipe ideas and support now to get back on it and not get bored.
