Welcome JM! Good to have you here! I am soooo impressed by your previous weight loss! That is super fabulous, dont 'cha know? About Atkins...during the first 2 weeks, which is referred to as "induction" you have no more than 20 grams of carbs daily. It has to be the right carbs though and for all the rules, try checking out atkins.com. If you are serious about wanting to do this diet, I highly recommend getting the book "Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution" (DANDR.) You can pick up the paperback for under $6 here. If you aren't sure, just check out the website or get the book from your local library. At any rate, we are happy to have you join us and good luck!
