Active Low-Carber Forums - View Single Post - Second attempt and in need of support

Hi Marlene,

I am glad that you are giving it another try. If you did it before, you can surely do it again. I think the most important thing for me was making up my mind that once I started, that was it. This is the way I eat for the rest of my life. Now that I have started, I don't even want to eat any other way. I also have thyroid disease. I have hypothyriod. I have had it since my early twenties and I am 55 now. Between that and a long history of yoyo dieting, my metabolism is not at it's best either, but I have found that since I started low carbing I have more energy that I have had in a very long time. How could anything that makes you feel so much better be dangerous? I, too am on Atkins and staying at induction level right now because I have so much to lose.
Anyway, it is nice to meet you, and I know you are going to do great.
Martha
