I've been lurking here for a week or so now, had read through several diaries, and have been very impressed by the honesty and support I've found on this forum. So I've decided to chronicle my own Atkins journey.
A bit about me: I'm American, but have lived in the southwest of England since 2004. I've been on and off diets since the age of 13 and have tried almost every diet out there. Most recently I was on the Cambridge Diet, where I lost and regained the same 15 lbs for the past two years. Cambridge is great but it greatly interfered with my social life. The entire time I was doing the CD I thought about Atkins and how much I could eat on a low carb plan. But it wasn't until I was in the states after Christmas and picked up a copy of Gary Taub's book, Good Calories, Bad Calories which helped me to understand the science behind the low carb WOE that convinced me that Atkins is not a diet but a way of life.
It's a bit scary, but I'm trusting you all will support and guide me on my way, and in turn I will endeavour to do the same. So here I go..........
