You've come to the right place for support doing Atkins!

I would like to do Atkins but I have medical issues that mean I must follow another LC plan.

There are a lot of very knowledgeable people here who can help give you support, encouragement and even sometimes a gentle kick in the behind when you need it, lol. (That means Laughing Out Loud - I don't know how new you are to this computer stuff, we have a lingo all our own here which you can find by clicking here.)

One member I know who loves to offer support to newbies is lperk002. You can check out her journal by heading over to the My Low-Carb Journal/ Low-Carb Bootcamp forum and checking for her journal under the K-L section. lperk is a particularly knowledgeable Atkins-er and is a great resource if you have any technical questions.

HTH (Hope This Helps)
Wishing you good luck on your LC journey and ridding yourself of those pesky 50 lbs!
