Hi everyone!
Well, i'm nearly ready - been studying the book, getting inspiration from this forum (and read the stickys), been shopping and will be starting tomorrow.
Fairly certain i know what to do
However, maybe i'm suffering from information overload but perhaps one of you wise people can answer my question - during induction do the 20g carbs a day that you are supposed to stick to come from the salad and veggies alone or do you have to count what is in, for instance, the eggs (seen 0.6g each quoted somewhere), the special category foods like the olives etc. Sorry just a wee bit confused about that :wave_cry:
I don't have too much more weight to lose now, another 14 to 20 pounds would be great. Been doing SW fairly successfully but just lately i've been getting an uncomfy stomach and think its from all the carbs.
Reading through the Atkins book it seems to answer one of the questions i've been asking myself for many years - how did my gran live to the grand old age of 89 when she always had butter, cream and cheese in her fridge and ate them daily. She was never overweight and didn't die of heart disease. Thinking back about the things she ate she didn't consume many high carb foods. It's all beginning to make sense...
