    Hi all.........

    Hi K8te and thank you :) How did you find atkins? I found it terribly slow going. Although I enjoyed the food and at first felt great, I was getting terribly frustrated with the rate at which I was losing. Others were losing anything between 2 and 6lbs a week. I was lucky if I lost one after my...

    Hi all.........

    That's what I really like about it Belle. You don't feel restricted on it, I think it's just about control and portion size. Everything in moderation as they say! I am really looking forward to starting back. Would like to start now but going to my MIL's for Christmas and she is such a saboteur...

    Coffee

    I know you can drink de-caf coffee on atkins, but if you drink normal coffee could it affect your weigh loss or is it purely to stop carb cravings? I have unknowingly been drinking normal coffee at work (and quite a bit of it) :eek: Is coffee in general limited too? xwendywoox

    If you have previously been doing a diet before starting atkins you may not get the initial 'big' weighloss as it's mainly water you lose so you may have already got rid of it. Also if it's that time of the month, this could also affect weightloss. My advice would be to stick with it another...
