Hi Kate
Have spent most of evening listening to Gary taubes and I am amazed, and slightly maddened that the diet that we as a nation are advised to do has no research behind it!!!!!! Even OH was stunned..... He then went online to find evidence that good old Gary was insane or talking rubbish and low and behold he could find nothing x I am so taking the moral high ground!!!!! He is finding it amusing that I am so sold on a diet after 2 days, I find it amusing he can't understand why I am so excited about not weighing, pointing, or starving myself xxx
And lady you where right about the water feel much better x

Have a YouTube of the recent bbc 2 documentary - the men who made us fat. It's also completely shocking.

I think you will win your OH over there Fran!
There's just so much evidence to suggest that low carb is better for you - and you don't have to starve yourself to lose weight healthily And call me Susie
today has been good and oh so so so bad!!!!! diet great not even feeling hungry??? norm you mention diet i would reach for a biscuit. yet today i had some scrambled eggs and sausage and still feel full no hunger at all...........
The rubbish feeling came quickly. i am coming to the end of 9 months mat leave and i weight a hell of a lot more now. Last week i tried my uniforms on i could not get them past my hips, so today i toddled of to uniform store took the babies (they are my defense mechanism, as if they explain it all without saying a word) Anyway after 2oh they are so cute2 and a few cwtchs the women in stores measured me oh the shame!!!!! my uniform is 3 sizes bigger its like a tent!!
now i know i have packed on a few ponds well a few stone to be exact but it was hellish!!!!! OH laughing at what he calls my dramatics he even said the dreaded words "what do you expect after all that cake" i have had my own back i am still wearing matty clothes (again between me and you) I have now decided to get a few wardrobe staples this weekend in my now massssssive size!!!!! he so better be prepaired was a massive hit on the cards xxxxxx

My teeth actually always feel smoother and cleaner on Atkins. Never had fuzzy teeth.

Hello fran lovely to meet you, love reading your diary, you have really made me chuckle ! I have been eating low carb since feb, I don't eat meat but do eat fish ( and plenty of it, so much so I thought I would grow fins and a tail) my losses have been slow and steady, I am almost two stone lighter which I am delighted with but the inch loss is greater and my body shape has changed dramatically. I rarely feel hungry as the food is so delicious and filling, good luck.
Just wanted to say west Wales is my favourite place, love Fishguard , Newquay and aberaaron . Good luck on your return to work, always tough after maternity leave, but just think you will never be that weight again, you are on a new exciting journey x

Egg white omelette. Bleeeh.
Lol at your hairdressers message - I sometimes put kisses at the end of texts and emails to people I really don't meant to.

Hi Fran, welcome to Atkins. Your OH will get used to it and be amazed at your weight loss.
Congrats on your babies, bet they're beautiful.
Lol @ your hairdresser. That is so funny. Can see me doing something like that.
Yuck to the egg white omelette totally tasteless.
