thanks - I think i'll ignore it - after all - this is about challenging those ideas that the government nhs tell us is heathly - I have decided already that it is all propaganda. Its so freeing eating this way - I am no longer obsessed by food - I am far happier as a result, not always...

Have been re reading the Atkins website and have just noticed it says eat plenty of lean protien? I thought that I didn't have to remove fat from meat?? It hasn't hampered my loss but ive been eating the skin of chicken and the like, was I not supposed to? anyone else noticed this?

hmm didn't need to worry about the scales, had a sneaky peak this morning and have lost 5lb since tuesday (although 3 of that was an unexplained overnight gain on monday)

I think i'm getting into the swing of thingsmore now - I was just so used to plates and plates of salad, but have read the list a few times and feel alot more sure on what to eat. I worked out the exact carbs i have been eating and was actually over on monday, but only by a few grams...

thanks guys :) Well its day 2 and I was pretty hungry yesterday - I'm presuming this is because I have dropped my carbs so low - on CS i was having around 100g a day. I am also struggling a little with the lack of veg! I'm so used to eating masses and not weighing any of it. last night i...

Hi everybody, I've been lurking for a week - I was over on the celebrity slim forum and I kept wondering....so here I am! I was on celebrity slim for 2 weeks, and whilst I could have stayed on the diet a lot longer I was very much drawn to the low carb way of eating it introduced. I would...

Rainbow - whats with dropping to one shake? just an experiment or trying to save cash?

I'm eating way more meat than that - i've eating enough to make me full, which is sometimes a lot, but i figure its better than the massive pile of carbs i used to eat. my stomach listens to the i'm full signal from protien so i'm not really watching it right now That said. if my weight loss...

oh forgot to say that I was supposed to have 4 sausages yesterday but was too full so had the last one as a cruditie as a snack!!

hi and welcome - i have to say this is one of the easist diets I have ever done

hi i found this the hardest thing to get my head around as the guidence isn't that clear - basically you can have whatever you would have for an allowable meal - but a smaller portion. I tend to have fruit and yogurt or crudites and low carb dip or maybe nuts and olives for the mid morning and...
