I think they would knock you out unfortunately so that is something you have to decide for yourself if you are willing to take the chance .I know i am pretty much now on maintenance but i did find when on my journey there were times when i just had to have something and i found if i had it and...

I have heard of them and often looked at them on the selves in boots .They were expensive enough so decided not to get but at the same time did wonder would they work and speed things up

Well done you .Its a great feeling being able to fit into smaller sizes

Welcome .Its hard to say how long etc as some people lose faster than others .I was a slow enough loser and lost 3 stone in 7 months . As i say i am a slow loser and some lose it a lot faster .In saying that i will have maintained for a year in august and its stayed off

I cook a mim the night before sometimes and then just heat up and butter the next morning and it tastes fine .Boiled eggs is the easiest and most convenient if i am in a mad rush and i usually always have a supply made in the fridge .Salami rolled up with cream cheese in the middle is another...

Oh god yes i have had the boots diabetic chocolate experience and it was not good :(.I can eat Atkins bars no problem but i do tend to stick to the smaller ones . Mims are the way to go for any blocked up issues but make sure to drink lots of water with them or they can have the opposite effect...

As others have said your body is gone into starvation mode and you will not lose weight this way .Also as soon as you go back to normal eating you will put back on anything you lost . I found it hard at the start of atkins to accept i could eat all these fats and lose weight .It was alien to...

Thanks a million everyone .No real secret as such to my success as such . I think Atkins just suited me and once i got into the swing of it i found after a few months that i just did not want heavy pastas and potatoes etc anymore. I also love cooking and trying different things and found so many...

Hi all just coming on to apologize for my absence . I am still eating the Atkins way for over a year and a half now and it will be a year in September since i reached my goal. I have become a bit complacent in the last while so need the support of this forum to get back on track a bit . I...

I am eating about 40 to 50 g a day at the minute and still in ketosis . I am back to working my way up to maintance as back to goal weight . I will do it slowly but never went back to induction fully but lost the few lbs i gained over Christmas. I am lucky i seem to be able to eat 100g of carbs...

I am lucky as i can eat lots of cheese . The main reason i love eating this way is due to my affection for cheese and my favourite treat to myself is a trip to my local cheese monger. The girl there asked me how i stay so slim i eat so much of the stuff :D I just smiled and said i have no idea...

You are not alone . I am gradually making my way back to induction and i am terrified to step on scales .The muffin top is not a good look but the good new is the sticks are pink and the weeing has defiantly increased so hopefully getting rid of some retained water

Hi Amy and atmosphere and welcome to atkins . Amy i hope you are doing well and well into ketosis at this stage .Atmosphere it could depend on how much you have to lose as to how quick the weight comes off .I found when i got to around 10 stone it was really only a 1lb or 2 a week so it was slow...

No i don't now that i think about it .I did have a good friend that always self sabotaged and would admit that she has a hard relationship with food .I am very determined and once i decide to do something i tend to stick to it to the end . I did try other diets and failed but my success on...

Thanks Jim not on here as much as i would like to be put popping in when i get a chance:D

I had the tummy aches the first week of Atkins also but they eased off after that and none since .I did suffer from IBS in the past but as Jim says it was my body getting used to fresh wholesome foods after eating processed crap for so long .The good news is since starting Atkins i have not had...

My bmi as it is now around the 23 .I am happy with my weight as it is and if i lost any more i would start to look awful especially my face .I am a comfortable size 10 despite my BMI still being around the 23. I like a few curves and for me it wasn't about Bmi but getting to the body i was happy...

Yes sag paneer is yummy its spinach and cottage cheese a no no for induction but if you are going to break out there is worse . This thread has me longing for a indian so i will indulge tomorrow night with tandori chicken and a side order of sag paneer. Cant wait now:D

If it was me i would go for indian and get tandoori chicken cooked in spices in a dry clay oven .They is no sauce with it and it can be a bit dry but i like it with a nice salad .No rice or nan breads of course .I can never find anything atkins friendly in the Chinese but this is what i have...

Hi welcome back .I am new here since you were on last .Just want to offer my support .

I am ruthless and i get rid of them .Like you i have gone from a 16 to a 10 .I got rid of all my bigger clothes a lot of them were tracksuits and jeans as i just hated shopping .I have now found a shopping addiction since i lost the weight . I bought a lovely Italian little black dress for the...

Not on here long myself but i have been reading a long time before i had the courage to post . I agree 100% with Waterworks jim is a invaluable support on the atkins forum.

I can just about manage the 2 litres and then there is usually 3 coffees on top of this .My problem is i am coming and going on school runs ,swimming etc and if there is no loo near i have to curtail my water intake. I am very bad so far today ,must pick it up a gear.

Thank you so much for this .Thats dinner sorted for tomorrow :)All the yummy things i love happy days .Cant wait to make it.

Thanks so much for the replies :D I can see myself getting quickly hooked here .I really do think its the stress myself and that once my body calms down the rest will follow .She was not too upset re the cholesterol as she said it can swing up and down day to day and will get a better picture...
