Hi fourkids;
You need to break all the old habits/belifes that have been formed over the years of low fat diets and starvation diets. Number one stop worrying about the amount of food you eat. The thing you need to be concerned with is the grams of carbs you eat. I asume you are on induction so it should be 20 per day. I eat more food now than I have in my life and I am still losing weight. The key to atkins is the carb count , water like crazy, and eat fat.
It is very hard to change the things we have belived for years like you are heavey cause you over ate. Well like I said I eat more now than when I was 252 pounds. So my advice is take one day at a time or should I say 20 grams at a time. You can do this !!!!!!!!!! Lynn
