Rachele,

Welcome to our forum.

Do yourself a big favour, and get a copy of the book ASAP, it will help greatly. Whoever advised you that Atkins Diet is about eating butter and cheese is grossly misinformed. This is not the healthy way to do it. Borrow a copy from your local library,and check for other books too like Protein Power. Knowledge is power. Starting a plan on wrong information may be an obstacle to optimum success.

Wa'il
